This paper argues that caching, atomicity and layering are fundamental to persistent systems, and that the transactional object cache architecture, as an embodiment of these conce...
Despite vast interest in design patterns, the specification and application of patterns is generally assumed to rely on manual implementation. We describe a precise method of spec...
We observe that the principal typing property of a type system is the enabling technology for modularity and separate compilation [10]. We use this technology to formulate a modul...
Understanding and interpreting a large data source is an important but challenging operation in many technical disciplines. Computer visualization has become a valuable tool to he...
