- Version: 1.0.9
-
- Product:
- OOTher
- OO Documentation & CASE Tool Release 1.06f
-
- Environment:
- MS-Windows 3.1
-
- Short description:
- The tool is a complete documentation development package for
- the following methods/notations:
- - Peter Coad's OOA method (Coad/Yourdon)
- - State Machine diagrams using a subset of SDL
- - allocation of objects to processors and processes
- - Use Case diagrams and Object Interaction diagrams
- as proposed by Ivar Jacobson in his OOSE book
-
- The tool also performs verification of consistency between the
- diagrams, and by direct coupling assures for consistent naming
- of objects and methods/services.
-
- The tool is build around 5 easy to use graphic editors and is
- capable of documenting all objects, their attributes, services
- and also associations between objects.
-
- Each service may have a state machine (FSM) diagram.
- C++ Headers may be generated automatically from the OOA diagram -
- it assures consistent naming of member functions and attributes.
- The applied mark-up notation for C++ headers should be powerful
- to give compiler ready headers for at least 80% of applications.
-
- For a better integrability with other windows applications and to
- allow esthetical control, the tool allows free font selection and
- a copy-paste transfer of diagrams via clipboard in meta file format
- to e.g. Word for Windows 2.0.
-
- The resulting file is ASCII with open & documented format,
- i.e. it's easy to add own utilities for data extraction.
-
- Complete user documentation is attached in form of a hypertext
- windows-help file.
-
- The tools distributed as:
- - freeware for students, schools and home users
- - as shareware for others (USD $170 for corporate 1-5 user license).
- - free upgrade form 1.0x to 1.06f for registered users if they
- fetch files from e.g. SimTel Software Repository
- - free evaluation in 4 weeks
-
- - an evaluation copy may be ordered from the author (USD $70,
- rest of the license fee if/when you register)

-
- THE PAPER TRAIL
-
- The "Paper Trail" - an experimental database of ftp'able OS papers
- is now available through http://pclsys64.dcrl.nd.edu/papers. This
- database allows users to find and access papers that are available for
- ftp on the internet. We have initially populated this database with
- about 5500 entries. Most of these entries reflect our own area of
- interest, that is Operating Systems and related areas. We'll add
- entries to the database from time to time. However, it'll probably
- be very difficult to keep this up-to-date without help from other
- users of this database. Hence, the database provides any user the added
- facility to submit entries.
-
- We hope that the xmosaic interface to this database is intuitive and
- simple. If you have any suggestions and criticisms, please do let us
- know - including how this compares with other such services.

-
- From: bruno@tk.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de (Bruno Achauer)
- Subject: Trellis compiler available
- Date: 23 Oct 1994 00:16:02 GMT
- Organization: Telematics Department, Karlsruhe University, Germany
-
- The beta release of version 0.2 of the TNT Trellis system is now
- available for anonymous ftp from tk.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de.
-
- Enclosed is ANNOUNCE file from the distribution:
-
- What are Trellis and TNT
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Trellis is an object-oriented language developed within Digital
- Equipment Corp. The language features compile-time type checking,
- multiple inheritance, parametrized types, exception handling and
- iterators.
-
-
- TNT is a new implementation of Trellis, consisting of a compiler, a
- library of predefined types and a (rudimentary) run time system:
-
- - The compiler implements the language as defined by the reference
- manual (except for a few esoteric constructs), plus a few minor
- extensions.
-
- - Predefined types are standard types such as integers, strings,
- arrays etc. (in Trellis, no type is built into the language!),
- an IO system and a (rudimentary) hierarchy of collection types.
-
- - The run time system is pretty incomplete right now; in particular,
- neither garbage collection nor threads are implemented yet.
-
- The system is available for several architectures:
-
- - the Digital Alpha (running OSF/1),
- - the HP Precision Architecture (under HP-UX),
- - the Intel 386 (under Linux),
- - Digital's Mips workstations,
- - Sun's Sparc workstations (running SunOS).
-
- Both source code and prebuilt kits are available.
-
- Further work will concentrate on supporting transparently distributed
- objects a la DOWL.
-
-
- Changes since last version
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- * The HP-PA, Linux and Sparc ports.
-
- * Building the compiler no longer requires the SFIO library.
-
- * The compiler now can use the GNU assembler to generated object files;
- at least on small MIPS machines, this will speed up compilation
- considerably.
-
- * Several minor bugs have been fixed.
-
-
- Requirements
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The prebuilt kits require disk space ranging from 800 KB (Linux) to
- 2.4 MB (OSF/1); a C compilation system (assembler, linker and the C
- library) must be installed. In addition, the Mips and HP-PA versions
- will benefit if the GNU assembler is present.
-
- Building the system from scratch requires from 5.2 MB (Linux) to 16 MB
- (Alpha). You will also need some auxiliary tools and libraries:
-
- - Cocktail V9208 (the Karlsruhe Compiler toolbox),
- - GNU make V3.68 or later,
- - patch,
- - makedepend.
-
- Most of these should be available on a nearby ftp site (makedepend is
- part of the X distribution; GNU make and patch are distributed by the
- FSF).
-
- Cocktail is available from several ftp sites, but most of the versions
- floating around will not work on the Alpha. A patched version is
- available on tk.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de (see below).
-
- If you plan to build the MIPS or the SPARC version, you will also need
- the GNU C compiler.
-
-
- How to get it
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- A source kit is available via anonymous FTP from
-
- tk.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de (129.13.3.200)
- file directory /pub/tnt/tnt-0.1.tar.gz.
-
- There are also some additional kits in the same directory:
-
- * doc -- PostScript versions of DEC-TR-372 (language
- reference manual) and DEC-TR-373 (language primer).
-
- * prebuilt -- binary kits.
-
- * tools -- source kits for Cocktail.
-
-
- Please direct bug reports, requests, comments etc to
-
- tnt@tk.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de.

- >70 CooL-SPE
-
- From: Gerhard.Mueller@sietec.de (Dr. Gerhard Mⁿller)
- Subject: Announcement of the CooL Software Production Environment
- Date: Tue, 25 Oct 1994 11:42:28 UNDEFINED
- Organization: Sietec Systemtechnik
-
- ANNOUNCEMENT
-
- The CooL-Software Production Environment - a new object-
- oriented development environment in Public Domain
-
- The CooL-SPE is a modern software production environment
- for the development of object-oriented application systems
- supporting grafical user interfaces and relational database
- technology. In the landscape of existing software production
- technologies the CooL-SPE is more closely settled to 4GL
- environments than to the usual C++ environments, mostly
- more dedicated to system programming. The CooL-SPE was
- developed by Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme (SNI)
- within the ESPRIT project ITHHACA and is used since in a
- number of large projects.
-
- Allthough the CooL-SPE as a programming environment is
- functional quite rich, it is also very lean and thus comparable
- fast to learn and reliable tu use. In one project, which we sup-
- ported recently, we could learn that newly assigned engineers
- to a fairly large project (400 classes with some 100.000 lines
- of code) were able to learn the environment, to understand the
- application and to become productive within a month - and
- that without any practical experience on object-oriented pro-
- gramming before.
-
- The system has product quality and is implemented in major
- parts in itself.
-
- The CooL-SPE is available for Linux 1.0.1, Solaris 2.3 and
- SINIX 5.41. You may receive the system (sources and docu-
- mentation) via ftp.fu-berlin.de in the directoy /pub/unix/lan-
- guages/cool.The file itself is named cool-2.1.tar.Z.

- "COVARIANCE AND CONTRAVARIANCE: CONFLICT WITHOUT A CAUSE"
-
- Giuseppe Castagna
- Laboratoire d'Informatique de l'ENS, Paris
-
-
- is available by anonymous ftp at ftp.ens.fr in the file
- /pub/reports/liens/liens-94-18.A4.dvi.Z
-
- ADVERTISEMENT: This paper tries to explain
- -------------
-
- 1. What covariance and contravariance serve for.
-
- 2. Why covariance and contravariance are not opposing views but both
- *must* be integrated in a *type-safe* formalism. I.e.: don't choose
- just one of them.
-
- 3. Where the "objects as records" analogy hides covariance.
-
- 4. How to type binary methods in the models based on the analogy "objects
- as records" (i.e. how to have ColorPoint < Point even if they respond
- to a message "equal")
-
- 5. How to have multiple dispatch when objects are modeled by (recursive)
- records.
-
- 6. Why all the previous points are strictly related one to each other.
-
- ABSTRACT
-
- In type theoretic research on object-oriented programming the ``covariance
- versus contravariance issue'' is a topic of continuing debate. In this
- short note we argue that covariance and contravariance appropriately
- characterize two distinct and independent mechanisms. The so-called
- contravariance rule correctly captures the {\em substitutivity\/}, or
- subtyping relation (that establishes which sets of codes can replace {\em
- in every context\/} another given set). A covariant relation, instead,
- characterizes the {\em specialization\/} of code (i.e.\ the definition of
- new code that replaces the old one {\em in some particular cases\/}).
- Therefore, covariance and contravariance are not opposing views, but
- distinct concepts that each have their place in object-oriented systems
- and that both can (and should) be type safely integrated in an
- object-oriented language.
-
- We also show that the independence of the two mechanisms is not
- characteristic of a particular model but is valid in general, since
- covariant specialization is present also in record-based models, but is
- hidden by a deficiency of all calculi that realize this model.
-
- As an aside, we show that the lambda&-calculus can be taken as the basic
- calculus both for an overloading-based and for a record-based model. In
- that case, one not only obtains a more uniform vision of object-oriented
- type theories but, in the case of the record-based approach, one also
- gains multiple dispatching, which is not captured by the existing
- record-based models.

-
- From: fcoallie@qc.bell.ca (Francois Coallier)
- To: ami@aut.alcatel.at
- Subject: TRILLIUM Release 3.0 available.
-
- Dear Colleagues,
-
- The release 3.0 of the TRILLIUM Model is now available
- through the Internet.
-
- The TRILLIUM model is a software product development and
- support capablity model based on the SEI's Capability
- Maturity Model (CMM).
-
- TRILLIUM differs from the CMM in its roadmap structure and
- its product and customer focus.
-
- This release of TRILLIUM is substancially different from
- 2.3d:
-
- 1) The introductory chapters explaining the model and its
- application have been extensively rewritten and expanded.
-
- 2) Practices are updated to provide 100% coverage of the CMMM
- version 1.1, ISO 9001:1994 and ISO 9000-3, and Bellcore TR-
- NWT-000179.
-
- 3) Traceability tables to external source documents are
- generated automatically. The verification of all references
- is thorough.
-
- 4) The glossary has been updated.
-
- The TRILLIUM model is in the public domain. Copies (as a series of
- uuencoded Poscript files) are distributed freely through the Internet.
-
- To receive your copy via E-Mail, all you have to do is to send me a
- request with your complete coordinates.
-
- Bounded hard copies are available from the Bell Canada Acquisitions
- department. Pricing and shipping information are available on
- request (Sorry: this is purely for budgetary reasons).

-
- Cecil is a new purely object-oriented language intended to support
- rapid construction of high-quality, extensible software. Cecil
- combines multi-methods with a classless object model, object-based
- encapsulation, and optional static type checking.
-
- Ongoing research in the Cecil project is in two major areas: language
- design issues and type systems for languages like Cecil, and
- implementation research on making languages like Cecil run faster.
-
- Ongoing research in the Cecil project is in two major areas: language
- design and object-oriented language implementation. Our language
- design research addresses modules and typechecking for multi-method
- based languages, and language mechanisms for implicit object
- classification. Our implementation research is exploring a variety of
- optimization techniques for object-oriented languages, including
- profile-guided type feedback, whole program analysis, specialization,
- and interprocedural type inference algorithms.
-
- Further information about Cecil is available from our WWW site:
-
- http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/projects/cecil/www/cecil-home.html
-
- Papers about Cecil are also available via anonymous ftp from cs.washington.edu
- in the directory /pub/chambers. See the README file in that directory for a
- description of the available papers.
-
- Check out our WWW site: we'd appreciate any feedback people might have.
-
- [...]
-
- Producing readable, on-line text versions is difficult, because the
- papers contain embedded figures and formatted text. Many of the
- papers are available as UW CSE Technical reports, however. Full
- details can be via anonymous ftp in:
- cs.washington.edu:/pub/chambers/README.
-
- Hard-copies of the technical reports may also be requested via
- electronic mail. Send email to: tr-request@cs.washington.edu. Orders
- will be filled via surface mail, subject to availability. Please be
- sure to include a complete snail-mail address with your request.
-
- As for the compiler, we plan to have an initial release to "friendly,
- interested parties" sometime in the first half of 1995. The release
- will include full source code for the compiler (currently about 45,000
- lines of Cecil code), and will include both a C-code based back end
- (for portability) and a native Sparc back end.
-
- We're maintaining a list of people who are interested in this initial
- release. If you would like to be added to this list, send e-mail to
- me (jdean@cs.washington.edu).

- The C++ standard draft includes the spec for Standard Template Library
- (STL) which gets you pretty much any collection you need in C++. Check
- out the C++ faq (somewhere under ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/...) for where to
- find it. If you're using GNU C++ 2.6.3 (or a more recent snapshot), the
- hacked version of STL that comes with libg++-2.6.2 (or w/today's 2.6.9
- snapshot) is quite usable. ObjectSpace and Modena are two vendors selling
- STL implementations that cover a wide variety of compiler/platform combos
- (info@objectspace.com, 1-800-MODENA-1 for more info). Also welcome to
- take a look at my STL newbie file (http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/
- and follow the 'STL Newbie doc' link). If you're using Borland 4.5 on a
- PC, you can use the HP implementation from ftp://butler.hpl.hp.com/stl.

-
- From: acourtny@cs.tcd.ie (Antony Courtney)
- Subject: Announcing: Phantom language, home page, alpha release
- Keywords: languages, distributed, interpreted
- Organization: Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin
- Date: Mon, 15 May 1995 10:37:36 GMT
-
- Announcing:
-
- Phantom, an Interpreted Language for Distributed Programming
-
- This message is an announcement for the Phantom home page, mailing list,
- and prototype interpreter for the centralised language core.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- >From the Phantom home page:
-
- What is Phantom?
-
- Phantom is a new interpreted language designed to address some of the problems
- presented by large-scale, interactive, distributed applications such as
- distributed conferencing systems, multi-player games, and collaborative work
- tools. Phantom combines the distributed lexical scoping semantics of Obliq with
- a substantial language core. The language core is based on a safe, extended
- subset of Modula-3, and supports a number of modern programming features,
- including:
-
- * static structural-equivalence typing
- * objects
- * modules and interfaces
- * lightweight threads
- * exceptions
- * garbage collection
- * higher-order functions and lambda expressions
- * a keyword binding mechanism
- * dynamically sized lists and slice indexing notation
- * type-safe implicit declarations
-
- The Phantom interpreter is implemented entirely in ANSI C, and provides a
- binding to the Tk GUI toolkit.
-
- Phantom has similar goals to Java, but was developed independently.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information about Phantom, the mailing lists, differences from Java,
- documentation on the language, and the current status and availability of
- the interpreter can be found on the Phantom home page:

-
- This recent article discusses and quotes Java.
-
- From: Greg Wilkins <gregw>
- Newsgroups: comp.object
- Subject: Java vs. C++
- Date: 25 May 1995 03:42:36 GMT
- Organization: Telstra Corporation
-
- I have been reading about the Java language from Sun Labs:
- http://java.sun.com/index.html
-
- The way I use C++ looks like it would transfer to Java
- very easily, giving me access to the featurs of C++ I
- like, without the danger of the many extra C++ "features."
-
- I'm interested in hearing opinions on Java from the many
- posters that dislike C++. While the chances of a new
- language taking off are very very slim, looking at
- languages like Java are good ways of refining the way
- we learn/teach/review/use languages like C++.
-
- Just to steal a bit of the Java doco:
-
-
- Java: A simple, object-oriented, distributed,
- interpreted, robust, secure, architecture neutral,
- portable, high-performance, multithreaded,
- and dynamic language.
-
-
- We wanted to build a system that could be programmed easily without a lot of
- esoteric training and which leveraged today's standard practice.
- Most programmers working these days use C, and most programmers doing
- object-oriented programming use C++. So even though we found
- that C++ was unsuitable, we designed Java as closely to C++ as possible in
- order to make the system more comprehensible.

-
- From: lady0065@sable.ox.ac.uk (David Hopwood)
- Subject: Reflection (was Re: Has C++ had its day?)
- Organization: Oxford University, England
- Date: Wed, 31 May 95 02:59:04 BST
-
- In article <3pq7eo$e50@nova.umuc.edu>, Ell <COATES@EUROPA.UMUC.EDU> wrote:
- [snip]
- >Curious what you mean by "reflective" design?
-
- Reflection is the ability to change aspects of the implementation of a
- language (eg. method dispatch, memory allocation, synchronization
- policies), on a per-object (or per-class) basis.
-
- For example, reflection can be used to add distributed message passing to a
- language that doesn't have this hard-wired into the compiler, simply by
- changing how method dispatch is implemented for remote objects.
-
- A typical (but not the only) model of reflection has a 'meta-object'
- associated with each object. There is a default meta-object which defines the
- basic capabilities of the language (in practice, calls to this are usually
- inlined). The code emitted by the compiler for operations like method
- dispatch, etc. is modified to check whether the object in question is
- reflective (has a meta-object other than the default).
-
- So, the code for a method call
- "receiver.method (param1, param2, ...)"
- might look something like:
-
- if (receiver is non-reflective)
- inline code for a standard method call
- else
- m := the meta-object for receiver
- m.perform (receiver, method_id, parameter-list)
-
- m can also be reflective (which leads some research papers to talk about an
- infinite tower of objects and corresponding meta-objects), but normally only
- one or two levels are used.
-
- The meta-object can implement dispatch however it likes, for example using
- RPC to a distributed object, or whatever. The interface of a meta-object
- (which includes 'perform' in this case) is called the meta-object protocol.
-
- Other applications of reflection include:
-
- - memoized calls
- (the result of a function call is cached, for use on subsequent calls with
- the same parameters)
- - future objects
- (an object is calculated in a parallel thread; any access to the object
- blocks until it is ready)
- - transaction messages
- (as used in ODBMSs)
- - asynchronous messages
- (as used in Actor languages)
- - interfaces to other languages and type systems
- - implementation of garbage collection
- - heaps optimized for different granularities of object
- - persistence
- - checkpointing
- - replication
-
- and so on.

- Release Notes

- Tsukuba Research Laboratory Of Open Fundamental Software Technology
-
- Copyright (c) 1994 Information-Technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA)
-
- All rights reserved. No guarantee.
- This technology is a result of the Open Fundamental Software Technology
- Project of the Information-Technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA)
-
- This document describes the objectives and the configuration of this
- software and the features of this release.
- Details on the copyrights of this software are described in the file
- 'COPYRIGHT'.
-
- 1. What is OZ++ ?
-
- In the software industry, people throughout the world have been continually
- developing software with very similar features; and thus "reinventing the
- wheel" as it were. Such redundancy has been impeding the improvement of
- software productivity and reliability. Therefore, the sharing and distribution
- of not only information but also of software is needed over the network (i.e.
- Internet). However, this cannot be achieved merely by opening the network
- infrastructure and making software publicly available.
-
- The OZ++ system has therefore been developed to solve this problem of
- software transfer. Based on the concept of object-orientation, the OZ++ system
- provides distribution, upgrading, and authorization function of software over
- the network. The high modularity of object-oriented systems and the conformance
- checking of interface between objects promotes the re-using of software
- components. The infrastructure is now being put into place so that components
- of different software products can be combined in much the same way as hardware
- products. Because the OZ++ systems enables the distribution of software (i.e.
- program), software can be brought from all over the world; furthermore, it
- allows such software to run without complicated installation. Because the
- versions of software are automatically recognized by the system, old and new
- versions are available at the same time and the newer version is automatically
- distributed. In addition, validation functions have been included to confirm
- the source of the software so that everyone can use it without worrying about
- viruses. Because of these functions, OZ++ system users are always able to use
- the newest and most appropriate types of software available.
-
- 2.The configurations of the OZ++ system
-
- In OZ++, the computation takes place by communicating distributed objects
- placed over the network. Objects are run on processes called executors. An
- executor can run an arbitrary number of objects and is managed by process
- called 'nucleus'. Each station is always managed by a nucleus and a nucleus
- can manage an arbitrary number of executors.
-
- See README.first for how to install and startup the OZ++ system.
-
- 3. About this release
-
- This release contains the following:
-
- *Nucleus
- *Executor
- *Launcher
- *Compiler-front-end
- *Object-images for demonstration
-
- By this release you can you can compile and execute OZ++ program.
-
- To compile your OZ++ program, you can use the `compiler-front-end'. How
- to use of it is described in the file doc/README.compile.
-
- To execute your OZ++ program, you can use the `launcher'. How to use of
- it is described in the file doc/README.launcher.
-
- To create new object image, a tool called `newimage' is provided. How to
- use of this tool is described in the file doc/README.newimage
-
- Furthermore, you can see two kind of demonstrations of the OZ++ system:
-
- *Application 'Encyclopedia'
-
- Showing the method invocations between remote stations.
-
- *Application 'Object mail system'
-
- Showing where a new version of a program is automatically selected and
- distributed.
- A tutorial of these demonstrations is provided in doc/DemoTutorial.
-
- The Release schedule for future versions is as follows:
-
- *Release 3
-
- Around 6/20. You can compile, manage, and run OZ++ programs distinguishing its
- versions. The first version of debugger will be included.

-
- From: Rick van Rein <rick@iconcomp.com>
- Newsgroups: comp.object,comp.lang.java
- Subject: Full OOA&D example now has Java Implementation
- Date: Wed, 07 Feb 1996 16:53:38 -0600
- Organization: ICON Computing, Inc.
-
- Hello All,
-
- Some time ago we anounced a full example of OOA&D to be available on our
- web site. We are pleased to inform you that the Java implementation is
- now also available.
-
- The exercise available is a small Telephone Switch system, of which the
- Java/AWT GUI on a Netscape browser provides an excellent means of
- getting a feel for the application's workings. This is likely to be of
- great use in understanding the models built during analysis and design.
-
- The example is available on:
-
- http://www.iconcomp.com/demo/case-Phone/phoneCase.html
-
- and the implementation in Java can be accessed by clicking on
- 'Implementation'.
-
- Have fun with it,

- >86 OODB Driver
-
- How many drivers do you put on your client to simultaneously access:
-
- Oracle
- Sybase
- Informix
- uniVerse
- Ingres
- ISAM
- DB2
-
- And how many more do you add when you have on the same client:
-
- Smalltalk apps
- Visual Basic apps
- Visual C++ apps
- Java applets
-
- How would you like to have one database driver that is free that you can
- download off the Internet? And how would you like that driver to be a Web
- development kit so that any data you access from your OO apps can be brought
- up simultaneously as a Web database server?
-
- If you are a developer that has any variation of these problems you owe it
- to yourself to take a look at a product that was just announced today:
-
- http://www.vmark.com/news/preleases/presrel21.html
-
- This is object-oriented middleware built in C++ that does true object passing
- between the database and application environments. The guy the engineered it
- wrote the first CORBA spec for the OMG (although this particular product is
- engineered for high performance DB access and not CORBA).
-
- It's taken six months to convince VMARK to put this on the net for free. It
- is the real stuff and is used in large production sites worldwide. For
- example, the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens serves the net using this middleware:
