One concern when building application by assembling software components is to validate component interactions, e.g., to ensure that components exchange compatible messages. This validation requires examining data values that are only known at runtime. In current practice, this validation is often performed manually at the code level, i.e., architects need to insert validation code into the appl...

In this article, we present the Calico website, a shared space where researchers and practitioners in education share and explore discussion forum objects coming from different elearning platforms. The platform is briefly described. The focus is set on the different kinds of representation provided by the Calico toolkit.

The purpose of CalICo is to ooer a distributed environment for the use and generation of graphical interfaces in the eld of discrete mathematical objects. The CalICo users do not need to know the inside design of the software for setting communications between every interpreters and C programs. The purpose of this article is to detail a model of graphical interfaces in Java that are extensible.

Agile development processes and component-based software architectures are two software engineering approaches that contribute to enable the rapid building and evolution of applications. Nevertheless, few approaches have proposed a framework to combine agile and component-based development, allowing an application to be tested throughout the entire development cycle. To address this problematic...

Purple loosestrife Jamee Hubbard has been studying Calico scale for three years in Dr. Dan Potter’s Turf and Ornamental Laboratory. In that time, she has made several interesting discoveries about this insect. First, unlike most other scales, oils do not seem to be very effective at controlling this pest. This is true of both the summer oils and dormant oils. Jamee said that oils will give some...

Reno alimentary fistulae are rare. The article describes various types of reno alimentary fistulae including rarer calico colic fistula and vesico colic fistula due to diverticulosis. The clinical features and management is discussed; and the relevant literature reviewed.
