Programming interface in general and particularly for XML data manipulation should be simple and flexible. For this purpose, we introduce light-weight and flexible programming interface for XML that provides only some basic operations such as controlling XML parser and XML document generator. Our programming toolkit represents XML documents as S expressions internally; therefore, XML applicatio...

Open Mathematical Engine Interface (OMEI) aims to establish a uniform application programming interface specification (API) for heterogeneous mathematical computation systems. OMEI can play an essential role in making mathematical engines easily accessible by front-ends, tools, and servers. The interface enables the development of individual applications that can serve different engines. The mo...

This article presents considerations about viability on reutilize existing web based eLearning systems on Interactive Digital TV environment according to Digital TV standard adopted in Brazil. Considering the popularity of Moodle system in academic and corporative area, such system was chosen as a foundation for a survey into its properties to create a specification of an Application Programmin...

We present NetAPI, a flexible communications interface. Although the ubiquitous Sockets API lets applications select among a number of mechanisms to accomplish networking tasks, it binds them tightly to their chosen mechanisms. Consequently, the network stack has little freedom in selecting the best protocols and mechanisms for each application, and innovating below the API is extremely difficu...

We present a typed core language for web applications that integrates interface definition, business logic and database manipulation. By expressing the interactions between different application layers in the same programming language, we gain the benefits of strongly typed languages without loosing the programming flexibility of interpreted languages which is frequently an argument in favor of...

This paper discusses the development and management of object-oriented database applications using an approach where the user interface management is abstracted out from the underlying database, but nevertheless encapsulated in general purpose software | a user interface management module. We identify a list of requirements that this application domain introduces and then present the LINCKS obj...

In this document we present the CSPIM virtual machine-based code encryptor, discuss open issues related to its Application Programming Interface (API), obfuscation issues, and propose enhancements. The discussed enhancements include a new, simpler, programming inteface and a new obfuscation profile.

In this paper, we propose a geometry histogram modification algorithm to increase the visibility of 3D point models. We define a weak feature as a group of neighboring points yielding the small deviations of normal directions. Geometry histogram is defined as the distribution of the signed distance between a feature point and the locally approximated plane. We equalize and stretch the geometry ...

Software birthmarking uses a set of unique characteristics every program has upon creation to justify ownership claims of thefted software. This paper presents a novel birthmarking technique based on the interaction of a program with the standard API. We have used this technique to succesfully distinguish 4 different implementations of PNG image processing.
