CORBA offers a limited form of behavioral reflection through the so-called interceptors. The OMG is improving the current interceptor specification, i.e. make it less ambiguous and thus more portable, and extending it, i.e. by defining new interception points, through the Portable Interceptor RFP. In this paper we shortly describe our experiences with the current (CORBA 2.2) interceptors, and w...

The importance of adequate funding for sustaining research efforts cannot be overemphasized. This article addresses funding strategies for emergency physicians, including the necessity of establishing a research track record, developing a well-written grant proposal, and anticipating the grant review process. Funding sources are reviewed with an emphasis on federal institute support and private...

The analysis of societies demonstrates the recurrent nature of small world topology in the interactions of elements in such worlds. The small world topology proves to have beneficial properties for system’s performance in many cases, however there are also scenarios where the small world topology’s properties negatively affect the system’s outcome; thus in depth knowledge on the small world wea...

Accuracy Control System (ACS) in shipbuilding industries is proven to improve quality of product along with reduction in rework, production time and performance of finished product. This concept had been implemented in many shipyards worldwide especially in USA, Japan, and Europe. The present study deals with one of the leading shipyards in India. A Pilot study on the initial implementation of ...

Rapid Freezing Prototyping (RFP) with water is a novel solid freeform fabrication technique that can generate three-dimensional ice objects by depositing and rapidly freezing water layer by layer. The support where necessary is made of brine whose. freezing point is lower than. pure water. After building the part, the support can be removed by utilizing the melting temperature difference betwee...

The Object Management Group (OMG) has solicited responses to a Request for Proposal (RFP) covering an Object Query Service (OQS). This OQS RFP forms part of [OMG94]. The OQS, together with others, forms part of the OMG Object Management Architecture [OMG92] for defining open, distributed object systems. This paper discusses three candidate object models that could form the basis of the OQS, nam...
