depletion, to mention only a few. One noticed few misprints: one occurs in the formula for the estimator of the colour index on p. 357. The book is Wvell printed in large type on good paper. The copious illustrations and X-ray plates are very well reproduced and (locumented. The binding is strong and well strapped, and, most important of all, the script in general is clearly written and unambig...

This paper presents a new approach to domainspecific languages creation. Instead of defining both language syntax and semantics for each case, the same general-purposed markup language Thorn is used. The original model of translation associates commands inside a Thorn document with programs written in some script language. When the compiler needs to execute a command, it launches a correspondin...

We propose a small-step operational semantics to support reasoning about web applications written in the multi-tier language Hop. The semantics covers both server side and client side computations, as well as their interactions, and includes creation of web services, distributed client-server communications, concurrent evaluation of service requests at server side, elaboration of HTML documents...

Farsi, also known as Persian, is the official language of Iran and Tajikistan and one of the two main languages spoken in Afghanistan. Farsi enjoys a unified Arabic script as its writing system. In this paper we briefly introduce the writing standards of Farsi and highlight problems one would face when analyzing Farsi electronic texts, especially during development of Farsi corpora regarding to...

Programs written in statically-typed languages are commonly extended with scripting engines that manipulate objects in the compiled layer. These scripting environments extend the capabilities of the program, at the cost of additional errors that would be caught by compile-time type checking. This paper describes a system for using type information from the compiled, statically-typed layer to pe...

We present a Mexican Spanish voice user interface demonstration system. It was built on a speech research platform developed at Bell Labs, which provides major speech technology and interface components, including automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, audio input/output functions and telephone interface. The application is written in the PERL script language with an embedded V...

FOUNDATIONS OF WEB SCRIPT SECURITY Aaron Bohannon Benjamin C. Pierce A web browser works with data and scripts from different sources, and these sources are not all trusted equally by the user of the browser. This fact requires web browser designers to take special care in order to keep information secure within the browser: data from one source should not be stolen or corrupted by a script fro...

− A technique for generating user interfaces in software frameworks for automatic measurement systems is proposed. The user interface is separated from the application logic with the aim of enhancing flexibility and reusability of the software. A Model-View-Interactor paradigm focuses on the “interaction” between the automatic measurement system, executing test script written by a test engineer...

This Science Fiction Prototype explores both the possibilities of Brain-Computer Interfaces with Artificial Intelligence and writing autobiographical Science Fiction. The paper proceeds in three parts. The context for the story is introduced in the first section, outlining the particularly personal circumstances from which the story has been written. In the second section the story is presented...

BACKGROUND The language faculty is probably the most distinctive feature of our species, and endows us with a unique ability to exchange highly structured information. In written language, information is encoded by the concatenation of basic symbols under grammatical and semantic constraints. As is also the case in other natural information carriers, the resulting symbolic sequences show a deli...
