Java RMI provides an elegant and powerful model for invoking member functions on objects that exist in remote address spaces. Unfortunately, it is a Java-to-Java communication model, and in many of the scienti c applications we would like Java objects to interact with modules written in C++ or Fortran. This paper explores the design of RMI and extracts a subset of the RMI object model that is c...

UDDI is not suitable for handling semantic markups for Web services due to its flat data model and limited search capabilities. In this paper, we introduce an approach to allow for support of semantic service descriptions and queries using registries that conforms to UDDI V3 specification. Specifically, we discuss how to store complex semantic markups in the UDDI data model and use that informa...

Module mechanisms have received considerable theoretical attention , but the associated concepts of separate compilation and linking have not been emphasized. Anomalous module systems have emerged in functional and object-oriented programming where software components are not separately typecheckable and compilable. In this paper we provide a context where linking can be studied, and separate c...

A novel miniature antenna structure (approaching the smallest fundamental size limits) having numerous qualities such as low cost, efficient circuit (broad bandwidth) and radiation characteristics (suitable for wide angular coverage) has been developed. Owing to its very small size and radiation performance, it is compatible for packaging constraints and can be easily integrated in a big variet...

The paper presents preliminary numerical and experimental studies of active textile-reinforced thermoplastic composites with embedded sensor-actuator arrays. The goal of the investigations was the assessment of directional sound wave generation capability using embedded sensor-actuator arrays and developed a wave excitation procedure for ultrasound measurement tasks. The feasibility of the prop...

PENGUIN is a grammar-based language for programming graphical user interfaces. Code for each thread of control in a multi-threaded application is confined to its own module, promoting modularity and reuse of code. Networks of PENGUIN components (each composed of an arbitrary number of modules) can be used to construct large reactive systems with parallel execution, internal protection boundarie...

We construct a map from the suspension G-spectrum ?G?M of smooth compact G-manifold to equivariant A-theory spectrum AG(M), and we show that its fiber is, on fixed points, wedge stable h-cobordism spectra. This is constructed as spectral Mackey functors, which compatible with tom Dieck style splitting formulas points. In order reconcile different definitions functor, present new perspective vie...
