METHODOLOGICAL GROUNDING OF ACME STRATEGY AND ACME TECHNOLOGY FOR THE SPECIALIST’S PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES IN SOCIONOMIC PROFILE

The ACME compiler

Described in this paper is an implementation of a true incremental compiler designed and executed at the Stanford Computation Center Real-Time Facility, located at the Stanford University Medical School. The compiler translates a powerful subset of PL/1 into machine language for use in a timesharing system. The problems of efficiency versus flexibility are discussed, and some examples of the te...

Neocortical Warfare? the Acme of Skill

If General McPeak is correct, and I believe he is, the opposite proposition should also be true. That is, if our country employs air and space power thoughtlessly or unimaginatively, this power will be less effective or even disastrously impotent. To help avoid such grave risks in the future, the thesis of this article takes us at least one stop beyond. McPeak’s already powerful insight. This a...

Acme: a Basis for Architecture Exchange

Acme: A User Interface for Programmers

A hybrid of window system, shell, and editor, Acme gives text-oriented applications a clean, expressive, and consistent style of interaction. Traditional window systems support interactive client programs and offer libraries of pre-defined operations such as pop-up menus and buttons to promote a consistent user interface among the clients. Acme instead provides its clients with a fixed user int...

ACME, A Telerobotic Active Measurement Facility

We are developing a robotic measurement facility which makes it very easy to build “reality-based” models, i.e., computational models of existing, physical objects based on actual measurements. These include not only models of shape, but also reflectance, contact forces, and sound. Such realistic models are crucial in many applications, including telerobotics, virtual reality, computer-assisted...
