Jasmine/C is a C-based database proqramninq language that allows the handling of persistent objects in Jasmine databases. The language is used to write methods for objects and application programs. Both navigational and associative access to objects are supported. Dot notation is used for Jasmine/C queries. Attributes of different (but linked) objects are concatenated in SQL-like queries free o...

The synthesis of a crystalline two-dimensional (2D) polymer linked by C-C bonds can be considered as one of the holy grails of synthetic chemistry. Possible routes may involve interface-confined polymerization at air-water or solid-solid interfaces or sterically constrained polymerization of prepacked crystalline monomers.

Background: Hi-C is a proximity-based ligation reaction used to detect regions of the genome that are close in 3D space (or “interacting”). Typically, results from Hi-C experiments (whole-genome contact maps) are visualized as heatmaps or Circos plots. While informative, these visualizations do not intuitively represent the complex organization and folding of the genome in 3D space, making the ...

In a collaborative risk management scenario, project stakeholders often need natural forms of recording and reusing past risk management experiences so that they could better assess whether there are threats to the goals of new projects. The contribution of this paper is to propose an enhanced case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to support project participants to exploit such experiences which ...

In this paper, we describe an object-based distributed shared memory called Adsmith. In an object-based DSM, the shared memory consists of many shared objects , through which the shared memory is accessed. Adsmith is built on top of PVM at the library layer using C++. PVM is used as the communication subsystem because it is a de facto standard and encapsulates many system related details. Sever...

The utility of vehicle math models extends beyond human-in-the-loop simulation. It is desirable to deploy a given model across a multitude of applications that target design, analysis, and research. However, the vehicle model alone represents an incomplete simulation. One must also replicate the environment models (e.g., atmosphere, gravity, terrain) to achieve identical vehicle behavior across...

c++ is an expressive language, but it does not allow software developers to say all the things about their systems that they need to be able to say. In particular, C+ + offers no way to express many important constraints on a system's design, implementation, and presentation. In this paper, we describe CCEL, a metalanguage for C+ + that allows software developers to express constraints on C+ + ...

Web Appendix A: On agent-based modeling, verification, and validation Agent-Based Models (ABMs) are especially suitable for cases in which a larger number of agents interact in a way that while simple to model on the individual level, are too complex to track using simple aggregate approaches (See Rust and Rand 2011 for a recent comprehensive review). Hence they fit well contagion processes amo...

COST (Component-Oriented Simulation Toolkit) is a general-purpose discrete event simulator. The main design purpose of COST is to maximize the reusability of simulation models without losing efficiency. To achieve this goal, COST adopts a component-based simulation worldview based on a component-port model. A simulation is built by configuring and connecting a number of components, either off-t...

The benefits of using Model-Based Reasoning for domain modeling are several-fold. We analyze these benefits and illustrate them in the context of a Web-based Intelligent Tutoring System. The system is designed to teach students to analyze and debug C++ programs for semantic and run-time errors. We have evaluated one instance of the Model-Based tutor, which deals with debugging pointers in C++, ...
