Scholarly Spaces 6 - Scholarly Practices Given a choice between programming scripted, interoperating applications for NS, Kaleida s scriptx looks like it may be quite powerful, but is not yet http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~xinwei/papers/texts/scholarspaces/6.Survey.html
Extractions: [PREVIOUS] [FIRST] What is in the future? I cannot be exhaustive here, for lack of time and knowledge, but I'll try to spread my net widely enough to catch general purpose systems of potential interest to scholars at Stanford. Please note that this telescoped survey contains no recommendation of particular technologies.
Extractions: IMAGE Technology, Curtin University of Technology Cross platform multimedia (or multiplatform multimedia) is becoming an important tool as the proliferation of multimedia packages on different platforms increases and diversifies. This paper examines some of the most widely used platforms for multimedia. Features which make them attractive for multimedia as well as packages which have the ability to make use of several different platforms are evaluated. The concept of datatypes is introduced and their importance in defining a multiplatform multimedia system is examined. A framework for multiplatform multimedia system is introduced. Future directions in the field are discussed. In the last half decade processing power in computing has increased at an exponential rate. The effects of this new power can be seen in multimedia with the commercial availability of many new hardware products that make it a much easier area in which to work. All popular computer systems from MS-DOS to OS/2, from Apple Macintosh to UNIX workstations, from Commodore Amigas to soon to be released Power PCs have to in today's marketplace exhibit good multimedia capabilities to be commercially viable. Multiplatform multimedia is a new direction being taken by computer manufacturers in recent years with the advent of high speed, reliable communication links. Rising to meet this challenge are the well known companies such as Apple, IBM, SGI, and Commodore Business Machines.

Extractions: by drenehtsral I have recently been working on learning Scheme in my spare time, with the eventual goal of writing a scheme based scripting system to run the guts of a massive adventure game/graphical mud sort of system, everything from environment simulation (predator/prey cycles, etc...) to 3d models (i.e. models will be geometry glued together by scripts so you could have trees that by a random seed and a growth level variable have grown over time and are unique to provide interresting landscape features). Scheme is appealing because it's simple, powerful, and adapts well to the idea of a threaded interpreter. To further my goal of learning Scheme inside and out, I've been reading "The Little Schemer," as well as "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs." Do you have any other recommendations for good Scheme programming texts?

Extractions: To cite articles published in the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, please reference the above information and include paragraph numbers if necessary Simulations conceptualized as black boxes offer only limited insight to the general public. Without the ability to open up existing simulations or, more ambitiously, to build one's own simulations the true value of simulations remains only accessible to the scientifically-minded members of society possessing programming skills. End-user programming can significantly enhance the value of simulations by allowing users without traditional programming skills to engage in complex issues through the creation of their own simulations. AgentSheets is an agent-based simulation-authoring tool for end-users. This article provides a brief overview of the AgentSheets environment and illustrates the concept of end-user programming by showing how kids build their own social simulations. Keywords: Agent-based simulations, end-user programming, graphical rewrite rules, programming by demonstration, Java, component-based programming

Extractions: Wow, I've gotten some excellent Marc Canter @ 06/01/2002 08:24 PM . First of all - right on in your insistance of using real backround info, and real arguments - when critisizing Ted's statements. Thanks! I'm all in favor of having ideas critiqued; that's the cornerstone of progress. And heaven knows I've lapsed into too-personal argumentation myself. It just seems to me that, in Ted Nelson's case, this kind of response comes out of the woodwork, and it's the repetitious nature of it that bothers me, I suppose, as much as the content. Secondly I'd like to point out that 2 way links have been around - but those of us who implemented them - have had to do so 'manually' so to speak. See a series of articles we did back in 1996-7: Art vs Commerce Media Lib The RAM conspiracy Japanese Politicians are in trouble ... What Bill Gates Doesn't Understand about On-line Content . Needless to say these two-way links only worked within our own world. Is there an IETF or W3C proposal for two-way links - I'm unaware of?
Sheng Liang S Research Summary Modern programming languages offer a high degree of expressiveness, conciseness, Third, implementations of modern languages often lack good programming http://www.cs.yale.edu/users/liang-sheng/research-summary.html
Extractions: Modern programming languages offer a high degree of expressiveness, conciseness, flexibility, reliability, and safety. These characteristics make them suitable for today's increasingly complex software systems. Indeed, Tcl Python ScriptX ML ... Java and ActiveVRML have all found use in a variety of application domains. Therefore, there is a practical need for designing, implementing, and deploying such languages. There are, however, major obstacles in unleashing the full potential of modern programming languages. First, it is hard to properly design, cleanly specify, and fully understand every single feature in a complex language. Second, modern languages do not correspond to the physical machine as closely as, for example, C, and therefore require more work to implement efficiently. Third, implementations of modern languages often lack good programming environment (e.g., debugging and profiling) support. Finally, different languages use different calling conventions, run-time data representations and memory management mechanisms, and are therefore hard to interoperate. My thesis work, a compiler construction method for modern programming languages, addresses all of the above problems. The key technical contributions are as follows:
