Management scripts are being used as the major means to realize the powerful concept of management by delegation. Many script delegation frameworks are proposed and experimented with for various network management standards, notably, the SNMP, OSI, and CORBA. More proposals and research are underway. The major problem with these scripting frameworks is that most of these frameworks are, in a se...

Scripting languages such as Perl and Tcl represent a very different style of programming than system programming languages such as C or JavaTM. Scripting languages are designed for “gluing” applications; they use typeless approaches to achieve a higher level of programming and more rapid application development than system programming languages. Increases in computer speed and changes in the ap...

The Simcyp Simulator provides a framework for mechanistic Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic modeling of potentially interacting drugs. It also provides a scripting facility, using the Lua language, for developing customized pharmacodynamic and toxicity models driven by drug concentrations at the site of action. We present an overview of the scripting facility including the s...

Feedback is an important component of interactive learning software. A conclusion from cognitive learning theory is that good software must give the learner more information about what he did. Following the ideas of constructivist learning theory the user should be in control of both the time and the level of feedback he receives. At the same time the feedback system must identify and review di...

This paper addresses challenges associated with conformance and interoperability testing of today's e-business technologies and proposes a new approach that improves on existing, test scripting languages and operation modes. A test model and scripting are described, namely, the Event-driven Test Scripting Language (eTSL). We contrasted this new approach with existing testing technologies and pr...

Tcl has been initially developed as an embeddable command language to provide what we now call ”scripting” to complex applications. The ”scripting” or ”high level language” approach to provide control to applications from command lines, configurations files or ”macros” has been very successful and a major winning case for Tcl. In the last six years, Java appeared as a programming language and r...
