The ESP Game tends to generate “low effort” or “surface semantics” tags. This paper presents two variations of the ESP Games called “squaring” and “scripting” that trim the ESP Game to collect “deep semantics” tags. The approaches do not require players to get used to, and for the GWAP operators to deploy, new games. First experiments point to the efficiency of squaring and scripting the ESP Ga...

This paper presents a design and implementation of a system that leverages interactive scripting environment to the needs of scientific computing. The system allows seamless translation of high level script codes to highly optimized native language executables that can be ported to parallel systems with high performance hardware and potential lack of the scripting language interpreter. Performa...

batch sizing in different planning period is categorized as a classical problem in production planning, that so many exact & heuristic methods have been proposed to solve this problem, each of which considering various aspects of the original problem. the solution obtained from majority – e.g. mrp – is in this format that there may be some periods of idleness or each period should produ...

We demonstrate combat scenarios between two NPCs in the Neverwinter Nights (NWN) game in which an NPC uses a new learning algorithm ALeRT (Action-dependent Learning Rates with Trends) and the other NPC uses a static strategy (NWN default and optimal) or a dynamic strategy (dynamic scripting). We implemented the ALeRT algorithm in NWScript, a scripting language used by NWN, with the goal to impr...

Modelica has evolved as a powerful language for encoding models of complex systems. In control engineering, it is of interest to be able to analyze dynamic models using scripting languages such as MATLAB and Python. This paper illustrates some analysis and design methods relevant in control engineering through scripting a Modelica model of an anaerobic digester model using Python, and discusses...

The fact that so many different kinds of coordination models and languages have been proposed suggests that no one single approach will be the best for all coordination problems. Different coordination styles exhibiting different properties may be more suitable for some problems than others. Like other architectural styles, coordination styles can be expressed in terms of components, connectors...

We present a domain-specific language embedded within the Haskell programming language to build scripts in a declarative and typesafe manner. We can categorize script components into various orthogonal dimensions, or concerns, such as IO interaction, configuration, or error handling. In particular, we provide special support for two dimensions that are often neglected in scripting languages, na...

A language for scheduling temporal activities in an object-oriented environment is proposed. Particular emphasis is put on reusing temporal speciications in various contexts, which is achieved through a mechanism of parameterized sampling based on a notion of virtual time. A small set of temporal operators are used to build parallel and sequential compositions of activities. Complex activities ...

INSCORE is an environment for the design of interactive music scores that includes an original event-based interaction system and a scripting language for associating arbitrary messages to these events. We extended the previous version by supporting scripting languages offering a great flexibility in the description of scores and in the interactions with scores. The textual format is directly d...

Motivation and Objectives The large volumes of data generated by modern sequencing experiments present significant challenges in their manipulation and analysis. Traditional approaches, such as scripting and relational database queries, are often found to be inadequate, frustratingly slow, or complicated to scale. These problems have already been faced by the “big data revolution” in data-based...
