Middleware is a layer of software situated between the operating system and the applications, permitting them to exchange information among themselves.
Java and Object Orientation: An Introduction is an introduction to object orientation for computer science students and those actively involved in the software industry.
Practical Usage of MVS REXX provides a concise and complete source of information for the development of applications using the REXX language - IBM's systems application architecture procedural language.
This volume contains extended versions of papers presented at the Third International Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 93) held in Louvain-la-Neuve in July 1993.
The goal of the AMAST conferences is to foster algebraic methodology as a foundation for software technology, and to show that this can lead to practical mathematical alternatives to the ad-hoc approaches commonly used in software engineering and development.
This is the latest volume in the 'Workshops in Computing' series, and contains papers from the International Workshop on Hpyermedia Design, held in Montpellier, France, from 1 - 2 June 1995.
Formal Object-Oriented Development provides a comprehensive overview of the use of formal object-oriented methods; it covers how and where they should be introduced into the development process, how they can be introduced selectively for critical parts of an application, and how to incorporate them effectively into existing deveopmental practices.
Rationale Software engineering aims to develop software by using approaches which en- able large and complex program suites to be developed in a systematic way.
Recent developments in computer visualisation mean that it is now possible to combine computer-generated image sequences with real video, in real time, for broadcast quality production.
The International Workshop on Temporal Databases held in Zurich, Switzerland, 17-18 September 1995 brought together researchers from academic and industrial institutions with database practitioners interested in keeping up with the state-of-the-art developments in the management of temporal data.
This book has evolved from our combined experience of working in computing services at the University of London (for the last nine years at King's College, and before that eight years at Imperial College and seven at Chelsea College) in the teaching, advice and technical support of Fortran and related areas.
This book is an essential tool for second-year undergraduate students and above, providing clear and concise explanations of the basic concepts of computer graphics, and enabling the reader to immediately implement these concepts in Java 2D and/or 3D with only elementary knowledge of the programming language.
Within a scenario of globalised markets, where the capacity to efficiently cooperate with other firms starts to become essential in order to remain in the market in an economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective manner, it can be seen how the most innovative enterprises are beginning to redesign their business model to become interoperable.
Mechanical design includes an optimization process in which designers always consider objectives such as strength, deflection, weight, wear, corrosion, etc.
0 e This is the proceedings of the first annual symposium of the Safety-critical Systems Club (The Watershed Media Centre, Bristol, 9-11 February 1993), which provided a forum for exploring and discussing ways of achieving safety in computer systems to be used in safety-critical industrial applications.
One of the most significant developments in computing over the last ten years has been the growth of interest in computer based support for people working together.
As computer technology is used to control critical systems to an increasing degree, it is vital that the methods for developing and understanding these systems are substantially improved.
Shape detection techniques are an important aspect of computer vision and are used to transform raw image data into the symbolic representations needed for object recognition and location.
This book presents a guide to the core features of Java - and some more recent innovations - enabling the reader to build skills and confidence though tried-and-trusted stages, supported by exercises that reinforce key learning points.
This book brings together several advanced topics in computer graphics that are important in the areas of game development, three-dimensional animation and real-time rendering.
This unique text/reference reviews algorithms for the exact or approximate solution of shortest-path problems, with a specific focus on a class of algorithms called rubberband algorithms.
Software and Systems Traceability provides a comprehensive description of the practices and theories of software traceability across all phases of the software development lifecycle.
As computer systems evolve, the volume of data to be processed increases significantly, either as a consequence of the expanding amount of available information, or due to the possibility of performing highly complex operations that were not feasible in the past.
The Sixth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems was held at Les Mazets des Roches near Tarascon, Provence in southern France from the fifth to the ninth of September 1994.
Notations for Software Design aims to explain formal specification and design to practitioners in software development, and to set out the ingredients of a sound software design process.
The programme for the Second Safety-critical Systems Symposium was planned to examine the various aspects of technology currently employed in the design of safety-critical systems, as well as to emphasise the importance of safety and risk management in their design and operation.
