We argue that object-oriented programming is only half of the story. Flexible, configurable applications can be viewed as collections of reusable objects conforming to standard interfaces together with scripts that bind these objects together to perform certain tasks. Scripting encourages a component-oriented approach to application development in which frameworks of reusable components (object...

Type systems play an important role in the design of programming languages, they prevent programs from having non-correct behavior. Typically, type systems are expressed in two ways, type-checking and type inference. The type information presented on local variables and method arguments makes the difference in choosing one technique rather than the other. Type checking is a derivation type infe...

This paper presents a system that focuses on improving event reporting in crisis situation management. The idea is to provide reporters with software with an intelligent adaptive interface based on dynamic scripting to ensure report consistency and minimize composing time. The dynamic scripting approach is modeled after human reasoning with specific knowledge. Our approach differs from other ap...

The expressiveness of higher-order, typed languages such as Haskell or ML makes them an attractive medium in which to write software components. Hitherto , however, their use has been limited by the all-or-nothing problem: it is hard to write just part of an application in these languages. Component-based programming using a binary standard such as Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) ooers...

INTRODUCTION Employees in modern enterprises engage in a wide variety of complex, multi-step processes as part of their day-to-day work. Some of these processes are routine and tedious, such as reserving conference rooms or monitoring call queues. Other processes are performed less frequently but involve intricate domain knowledge, such as making travel arrangements, ordering new equipment, or ...

This text draws on the experience of developing and exhibiting two room-scale VR artworks in order to discuss relationship between scripting, virtual space design, interactive design with audience’s movements expected position physical space.
