lntroduction This research presents a new conceptual approach to writing notes of computer music. lt gives freedom to use notes from a continuum of frequencies rather than from a set of discrete frequencies. ' lt also incorporates timbre parameters into the icon notes, thus enabling easy and continuous movement through different timbres, instead of using fixed timbres. In this new musical notat...

A simple and fully graphical programming method is presented, using a powerful means to combine behaviors. This programming is based on the notion of an icobj which has a behavioral aspect ( object part), a graphical aspect ( icon part), with an animation aspect. Icobj programming provides parallelism, broadcast event communication and migration through the network. An experimental system based...

When graphics input/output capabilities are added to a programming language originally designed with a text stream input/output model, various design decisions affect the ease with which the graphics facilities are learned and used by applications programmers. In adding window system facilities to the Icon programming language, some design decisions were made very differently from the conventio...

This paper reports about our work in the ICON 2009 NLP TOOLS CONTEST: Parsing. We submitted two runs for Bengali. A statistical CRF based model followed by a rule-based post-processing technique has been used. The system has been trained on the NLP TOOLS CONTEST: ICON 2009 datasets. The system demonstrated an unlabeled attachment score (UAS) of 74.09%, labeled attachment score (LAS) of 53.90% a...

The importance of the ability to measure the performance of programs written in highlevel languages is well known. Performance measurement enables users to locate and correct program inefficiencies where automatic optimizations fail and provides a tool for understanding program behavior. This paper describes performance measurement facilities for the Icon programming language, and shows not onl...

Icon-based programming paves the way for making programming of modern industrial robots simpler and more intuitive. The flowchart-like representation of the program structure provides a superior overview. Programming becomes possible without detailed prior knowledge of a syntax. The style guide presented in this paper suggests a number of manufacturer-independent design rules for intuitive icon...
