In "high level" synthesis basic blocks are caused by the control schemes and the block structure of the specification language (branches, loops). These schemes must be considered by the construction of the controller. A method is presented to handle the basic blocks in a more flexible way which allows to move operations between basic block boundaries. The goal is to improve the number of contro...

CombiLog is a logic programming language that uses a small set of basic operators to build larger structures. Although the programs are built strictly through composition, the resulting code is often difficult to read and understand. Empirical studies on program creation both with VPL and traditional programming indicate that visual approaches may outperform traditional approaches to programmin...

There are two major design problems for upper seam longwall gateroads operating in a multi-seam environment. The first is to determine the location, magnitude and duration of stress transferred from lower seam mines; and the second is to predict the effect of stress transferred from lower seam mines on opening stability. To solve these problems for both longwall and room-and-pillar mines, case ...

Because the 2013 Cultural Heritage in CLEF (CHiC) lab focused on multilingual retrieval, our goals were the integration of Apache Solr in our Xtrieval framework and the evaluation of different stemmers available for most of the relevant languages. As there were thirteen languages to cover, we tried to find a generic stemmer which works with all languages. We experimented with four setups, where...

MILE is an e-learning tool to support teaching, learning and student’s assessment during basic programming courses. This project integrates three existing educational systems: Mag, Svetovid and Testovid, developed by authors of the paper. Mag is the tutor for learning programming languages. Svetovid is system that helps instructors to leverage the effort of practical programming exercises and e...

Visualization tools have proven to be useful for enhancing novice programming learning. However, those tools are typically tide to a certain programming language and focus to low level aspect of programming such as changing value of variables during code execution. In this paper, we present a new program visualization tool which provides a language independency view of learning programming and ...

We introduce possibly the first approximation of programming language metrics that represent a spectrum over 70 unique and carefully gathered dimensions by which any two languages can be compared. Based on those metrics, one evaluate her own `best' language, to demonstrate how complex feelings such as “simplicity” “easy use”, often found arguments in debates advertisements, decomposed into clea...
