Compiling queries to machine code is a very efficient way for executing queries. One often overlooked problem with compilation is the time it takes to generate machine code. Even with fast compilation frameworks like LLVM, generating machine code for complex queries often takes hundreds of milliseconds. Such durations can be a major disadvantage for workloads that execute many complex, but quic...

We describe an approach for compiling dynamic preferences into logic programs under the answer set semantics. An ordered logic program is an extended logic program in which rules are named by unique terms, and in which preferences among rules are given by a set of atoms of the form s ≺ t where s and t are names. An ordered logic program is transformed into a second, regular, extended logic prog...

VisPro is a general-purpose visual language generation system based on Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG). It is also the execution environment of visual programming languages (VPLs) developed under the VisPro system. However, due to the lack of compilation facilities, VisPro could only generate simple interpreted VPLs. We have developed a compilation mechanism for VisPro to implement compiled visual...

The analysis of computer memory is becoming increasingly important in digital forensic investigations. Volatile memory analysis can provide valuable indicators on what to search for on a hard drive, help recover passwords to encrypted hard drives and possibly refute defense claims that criminal activity was the result of a malware infection. Historically, digital forensic investigators have per...

nurses are ever-increasingly confronted with complex concerns in their practice. codes of ethics are fundamental guidance for nursing as many other professions. although there are authentic international codes of ethics for nurses, the national code would be the additional assistance provided for clinical nurses in their complex roles in care of patients, education, research and management of s...
