Glossary 185 Bibliography 186 Contents iv 1 Introduction 1.1. Goals and motivation Separation of concerns is an important concept in software development. Every software application consists of multiple concerns, examples are: what is to be computed, how the results are displayed, who is authorized to view the results, which data is logged, etc. Separation of these concerns allows a programmer ...

The Glubran 2 cyanoacrylate glue is a liquid embolic agent used to block blood vessels endovascularly. Typically mixed with an iodized oil (Lipiodol) for visualization under X-ray, it polymerizes when in contact with blood and tissues owing to the presence of ions and proteins. The objective of the study is to determine the influence of plasma proteins in the polymerization reaction. A triggeri...

Domain-specific languages offer a variety of advantages, but their implementation techniques have disadvantages that sometimes prevent their use in practice. Language extension offers a potential solution to some of these problems, but remains essentially unused in practice. It is our contention that the main obstacle to adoption is the lack of any assurance that the compiler composed of multip...

The assembly of components that can handle continuously changing data results in programs that are more interactive. Unfortunately, the code that glues together such components is often difficult to write because it is exposed to many complicated event-handling details. This paper introduces the SuperGlue language where components are assembled by connecting their signals, which declaratively r...

In this paper we describe our approach to the second phase of SWS Challenge 2006. We present the WebML design of the mediator and its implementation by the means of the CASE tool WebRatio; furthermore, we discuss the integration of Glue WSMO discovery engine in our approach. The integration is achieved by invoking the Web Services exposed by Glue both for publishing and for discovering semantic...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We have noted that glue-Lipiodol mixtures harden prematurely in the catheter during embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations. However, we observed that hardening of this embolic material does not occur when tungsten powder is added to the glue mixture. In order to clarify the effect of tungsten powder on the glue mixture, we evaluated the reaction time and hardne...
