Purpose This paper aims to explore how users respond office design through their use of space. Intentions for spaces should be used can not only understood as sociomaterial scripts that are inscribed into the architecture by designers but also communicated organisational change processes. The elaborates on de-script spaces, is, they these use. Design/methodology/approach draws a case study an i...

Scripting languages are designed for glueing software components together. Such languages provide features like dynamic extensibility and dynamic typing with automatic conversion that make them well suited for rapid application development. Although these features entail runtime penalties, modern CPUs are fast enough to execute even large applications in scripting languages e ciently. Large app...

We present Sikuli, a visual approach to search and automation of graphical user interfaces using screenshots. Sikuli allows users to take a screenshot of a GUI element (such as a toolbar button, icon, or dialog box) and query a help system using the screenshot instead of name. Sikuli also provides a visual scripting API for automating GUI interactions, using screenshot patterns to direct mouse ...

We describe the programming language FOBS-X (Extensible FOBS). FOBS-X is interpreted, and is intended as a universal scripting language. One of the more interesting features of FOBS-X is its ability to be extended, allowing it to be adopted to new scripting environments. FOBS-x is structured as a core language that is parsed by the interpreter, and an extended language that is translated to the...

Scripting languages such as R and Matlab are widely used in scientific data processing. As the data volume and the complexity of analysis tasks both grow, sequential data processing using these tools often becomes the bottleneck in scientific workflows. We describe pR, a runtime framework for automatic and transparent parallelization of the popular R language used in statistical computing. Reco...

Simulation designers benefit from a flexible system for creating scenarios that are easy to modify, expressive, and allow for more complex interventions to be assessed. This technical report introduces a C-like scripting language that can be used with Construct in order to support numeric variables as well as user-specified decisions. This scripting language can be used to specify outputs in a ...

Software visualization is a useful means to present and explore large amounts of information. However, constructing useful visualizations targeted at specific tasks is often a trial-and-error process. As a consequence, a visualization prototyping tools needs to be flexible to allow for the creation of new visualizations and also to provide an environment that grants access to its powerful mecha...
