Extensible Statistical Software: On a Voyage to Oberon
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent changes in software technology have opened new possibilities for statistical computing. Conditions for creating efficient and reliable extensible systems have been largely improved by programming languages and systems which provide dynamic loading and type-safety across module boundaries, even at run time. We introduce Voyager, an extensible data analysis system based on Oberon, which tries to exploit some of these possibilities.

متن کاملExtensibility in the Oberon System
We show how an object-oriented system-and in particular the Oberon System-can be used to write software that is extensible by end users even while the software is running. Extensibility instead of completeness may be a way out of the unpleasant situation in software industry where applications still tend to become bigger every year. Oberon is both an object-oriented programming language and an ...
متن کاملNew Directions in Programming Environments: Extensible Software
If we want software that can be adapted to our needs on the long run, extensibility is a main requirement. For a long time, extensibility has been in conflict with stability and/or efficiency. This situation has changed with recent software technologies. The tools provided by software technology however must be complemented by a design which exploits their facilities for extensibility. We illus...
متن کاملThe ModulaTor Oberon - 2 and Modula - 2 Technical Publication
When Niklaus Wirth, well known for the development of Pascal and Modula-2, and Juerg Gutknecht in the mid eighties started to develop a new operating system for personal computers, the existing programming languages turned out to be insufficient for the development of extensible software systems [1]. Even the monster languages such as PL/I or Ada could not be used to construct robust and reliab...
متن کاملThe Oberon System Family
Oberon simultaneously refers to a modular, extensible operating system and an object-oriented programming language developed for its implementation. Although the original Oberon System had been conceived as the native operating system for a custom-built workstation, further implementations for several commercial platforms were developed later and are described here. All of these implementations...
