Got My Mojo Workin' (Badly)

Hey, You Got Your Compiler in My Operating System!

Several operating systems projects revolve around moving functionality above or below the kernel “red line” to increase flexibility or performance. We describe how a general model of partial evaluation encompasses this trend. The operating systems community should not be content with a single interface between applications and the operating system, even if that interface allows extension below ...

Hey, You Got Your Language In My Operating System!

Several projects in the operating systems research community suggest a trend of convergence among features once divided between operating systems and languages. We describe how partial evaluation and transformational programming systems apply to this trend by providing a general framework for application support, from compilation to run-time services. We contend that the community will no longe...

I Got More Data, My Model is More Refined, but My Estimator is Getting Worse! Am I Just Dumb?

MoJo: A Distance Metric for Software Clusterings

The software clustering problem has attracted much attention recently, since it is an integral part of the process of reverse engineering large software systems. A key problem in this research is the difficulty in comparing different approaches in an objective fashion. In this paper, we present a metric that can be used in evaluating the similarity of two different decompositions of a software ...

Crystallographic Topology 2 : Overview and Workin

This overview describes an application of contemporary geometric topology and stochastic process concepts to structural crystallography. In this application, crystallographic groups become orbifolds, crystal structures become Morse functions on orbifolds, and vibrating atoms in a crystal become vector valued Gaussian measures with the Radon-Nikodym property. Intended crystallographic beneets in...
