1	Java Applets for Analysis of Trusses, Beams and Frames Schottler, Robert 18 June 2004 (has links) Java applets are developed to assist in the learning of basic structural analysis concepts. In order for these programs to be easily available over the Internet, they are written in the object-oriented Java programming language. The Java programs known as applets are embedded in HTML documents. The HTML documents, part of a series of instructional units, present the topics demonstrated by the applets. The applets include truss and frame determinacy applets; a three-hinged arch bridge applet; determinate and indeterminate truss analysis applets; determinate and indeterminate frame analysis applets and an influence line analysis applet. These programs are available to any student or instructor with Internet access. The applets provide good examples of the application of object-oriented programming and the development of software for a graphical user interface. They also serve as excellent tools that facilitate the understanding of structural engineering concepts utilizing a medium that allows independent learning at an individual pace. / Master of Science tutorial applets classes and objects structures stiffness matrix simultaneous equations
2	How Often do Experts Make Mistakes? Palix, Nicolas, Lawall, Julia L., Thomas, Gaël, Muller, Gilles January 2010 (has links) Large open-source software projects involve developers with a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise. Such software projects furthermore include many internal APIs that developers must understand and use properly. According to the intended purpose of these APIs, they are more or less frequently used, and used by developers with more or less expertise. In this paper, we study the impact of usage patterns and developer expertise on the rate of defects occurring in the use of internal APIs. For this preliminary study, we focus on memory management APIs in the Linux kernel, as the use of these has been shown to be highly error prone in previous work. We study defect rates and developer expertise, to consider e.g., whether widely used APIs are more defect prone because they are used by less experienced developers, or whether defects in widely used APIs are more likely to be fixed.

3	Malleability, obliviousness and aspects for broadcast service attachment Harrison, William January 2010 (has links) An important characteristic of Service-Oriented Architectures is that clients do not depend on the service implementation's internal assignment of methods to objects. It is perhaps the most important technical characteristic that differentiates them from more common object-oriented solutions. This characteristic makes clients and services malleable, allowing them to be rearranged at run-time as circumstances change. That improvement in malleability is impaired by requiring clients to direct service requests to particular services. Ideally, the clients are totally oblivious to the service structure, as they are to aspect structure in aspect-oriented software. Removing knowledge of a method implementation's location, whether in object or service, requires re-defining the boundary line between programming language and middleware, making clearer specification of dependence on protocols, and bringing the transaction-like concept of failure scopes into language semantics as well. This paper explores consequences and advantages of a transition from object-request brokering to service-request brokering, including the potential to improve our ability to write more parallel software. service-oriented aspect-oriented programming language middleware concurrency Data processing Computer science Software Architectures (NEW) Data abstraction (NEW) Domain-specific architectures (NEW) Information hiding (NEW) Language Constructs and Features (E.2) Abstract data types Classes and objects (NEW) Concurrent programming structures Constraints (NEW) Control structures Coroutines Data types and structures Dynamic storage management Frameworks (NEW) Inheritance (NEW) Input/output Modules, packages Patterns (NEW) Polymorphism (NEW) Procedures, functions, and subroutines Recursion
4	AspectKE: Security aspects with program analysis for distributed systems Fan, Yang, Masuhara, Hidehiko, Aotani, Tomoyuki, Nielson, Flemming, Nielson, Hanne Riis* January 2010 (has links) Enforcing security policies to distributed systems is difficult, in particular, when a system contains untrusted components. We designed AspectKE, a distributed AOP language based on a tuple space, to tackle this issue. In AspectKE, aspects can enforce access control policies that depend on future behavior of running processes. One of the key language features is the predicates and functions that extract results of static program analysis, which are useful for defining security aspects that have to know about future behavior of a program. AspectKE* also provides a novel variable binding mechanism for pointcuts, so that pointcuts can uniformly specify join points based on both static and dynamic information about the program. Our implementation strategy performs fundamental static analysis at load-time, so as to retain runtime overheads minimal. We implemented a compiler for AspectKE, and demonstrate usefulness of AspectKE through a security aspect for a distributed chat system. aspect oriented programming program analysis security policies distributed systems tuple spaces Data processing Computer science Language Constructs and Features (E.2) Abstract data types Classes and objects (NEW) Concurrent programming structures Constraints (NEW) Control structures Coroutines Data types and structures Dynamic storage management Frameworks (NEW) Inheritance (NEW) Input/output Modules, packages Patterns (NEW) Polymorphism (NEW) Procedures, functions, and subroutines Recursion Security and Protection (K.6.5) Access controls Authentication Cryptographic controls Information flow controls Security kernels Verification Algebraic approaches to semantics Denotational semantics Operational semantics Partial evaluation (NEW) Process models (NEW) Program analysis (NEW)
