Subject: Comp.Object FAQ Version 1.0.7 (10-27) Part 7/10 Newsgroups: comp.object,comp.answers,news.answers From: Bob Hathaway <rjh@geodesic.com> Date: 29 Oct 1994 11:42:28 GMT Archive-name: object-faq/part7 Last-Modified: 10/27/94 Version: 1.0.7 "The good thing is that you can change your object model and just re-generate the database interface classes at the press of a button." Richard Browett, Product manager, K2 Software Developments, Ltd. "The Persistence package saved at least 25 to 50 percent of the development time, and seemed extremely robust. Support has been nothing short of phenomenal." Stew Schiffman, DuPont Research and Development FOR MORE INFORMATION For more information on Persistence, please contact Carl White, VP Sales: - By phone: (415) 341-1280 - By fax: (415) 341-8432 - By email: information@persistence.com Persistent Data Systems PO Box 38415 Pittsburgh, PA 15238-9925 > Subtlware From: subtle@world.std.com (Ted p Kyriakakis) Subject: Re: OOP access to relational databases? Summary: C++ to SQL RDBMS Mapping Tool and Literature Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1993 06:51:48 GMT koch@eis.cs.tu-bs.de (Andreas Koch) writes: >I am interested in approaches and examples of transparent access to >relational databases within OOPLs such as C++ and Smalltalk. Of interest >are pointers to literature and articles as well as ftp'able sample code. >Any hints are appreciated. There is a book out from MIS Press by Al Stevens called "C++ Database Development" which addresses this topic in detail for C++ OO development. The book does a good job of describing issues with object persistence and the implications of using a RDBMS as an object database. There is also a C++ to SQL mapping product, Subtlware for C++/SQL, that provides a tool and framework which addresses many of the issues mentioned in the book. The tool automates the production of the code necessary to map C++ objects to a SQL RDBMS using C++ header files as input. If you want more information, you can contact me at: subtle@world.std.com or you can contact Subtle Software at: (508) 663-5584 > Synchronicity See Databases & Development Sept. 5, 1994, p1. "Lisp, Smalltalk Languages Given Database Systems" Easel's Synchronicity 2.0 is a new release of the company's business object modeling system, fromerly known as Synchrony. The new version, which will run under Windows and OS/2, lets developers using Easel's Enfin development system map Smalltalk objects to relational databases. Easil is at 617-221-2100.

A comprehensive survey of 35 commercial CASE tools is given in "Ovum evaluates: CASE products". It is from 1993 and is continuously updated. It has all the information you asked for. The bad thing is that it is very expensive ($1995 !!!). You should get a 40 % academic discount, however. Moreover, recently they had a "quick-answer discount" making the full price (before academic discount) $1295. Anyway, I believe it is good investment if you quickly want to have comprehensive information about the current CASE market. Particularly valuable is the comparative evaluation of the 35 products. > Proceedings of the Workshop on the Next Generation of CASE Tools (NGCT) From: sjbr@cs.utwente.nl (Sjaak Brinkkemper) Subject: Organization: University of Twente, Dept. of Computer Science Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1993 11:05:51 GMT The proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on the Next Generation of CASE Tools (NGCT'93) are available as a technical report from the Center for Telematics and Information Technology, University of Twente.

Brinkkemper and F. Harmsen Center for Telematics and Information Technology University of Twente the Netherlands 174 pages Abstract The Workshop on the Next Generation of CASE Tools (NGCT) is an annual event, bringing together leading researchers on Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE). NGCT workshop is a pre-conference workshop of the annual Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). The goal of this year's workshop, held in Paris, is to conduct an in-depth discussion of research approaches in the area of Computer Aided Software Engineering. Three main themes have been identified: * CASE architectures * Development process support * Advanced requirements engineering The workshop committee accepted fourteen papers, which are grouped in the proceedings according to these three themes. Among the topics of the papers are: multiparadigm specification for interoperable information systems, capturing design decisions, automated user interface derivation, deductive repositories, human error analysis, and business modeling.

New constructs have been added: * Overloaded symbols (overload). * Local definition of abstract values (overload in). * Implementations and parametric functors (pack to). * Extension functors (overload with). * Class-based Dynamics (dynamic). This version of Alcool is based on the CAML Light implementation (release 0.4) of the ML language, but this release is autonomous.

The software and the manual for the Arjuna system can be obtained by anonymous ftp: arjuna.ncl.ac.uk (128.240.150.1) Arjuna System This beta release of ArjunaPR2.0 fixes all known bugs present in ArjunaPR1.2B that have been reported to us or that we have found, and contains only minimal information about how to use the new features provided. This release should be compilable with the following compilers: AT&T Cfront Release 2.1, on SunOS 4.1.x, (using Sun supplied lex and yacc). AT&T Cfront Release 3.0.1, on SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.1, (using Sun supplied lex and yacc). GCC versions 2.1, 2.2.2, on SunOS 4.1.x, (using flex(v2.3.x) and bison). Patched GCC version 2.3.3 on SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.1, (using flex(v2.3.x) and bison). Sun C++ 2.1, on SunOs 4.1.x, (using Sun's lex++ and yacc++). HP C++ (B2402 A.02.34), HP-UX 8.07, (using HP supplied lex and yacc or lex++ and yacc++). The major new features are: - Faster object store. - Support for replicated objects. - Memory resident object store. - Support for ANSAware (not available via ftp) Arjuna supports nested atomic actions (atomic transactions) for controlling operations on objects (instances of C++ classes), which can potentially be persistent. Arjuna has been implemented in C++ to run on stock platforms (Unix on SUNs, HPs etc). The software available includes a C++ stub generator which hides much of the details of client-server based programming, plus a system programmer's manual containing details of how to install Arjuna and use it to build fault-tolerant distributed applications. The software and the manual can be obtained by anonymous ftp: arjuna.ncl.ac.uk (128.240.150.1) Several enhancements and ports on various distributed computing platforms are in progress. We would be pleased to hear from researchers and teachers interested in using Arjuna. The programmer's manual contains the e-mail addresses for sending your comments and problem reports.

These papers are available in both US Letter and European A4 standards in postscript and should now print on systems. Any problems in printing should be directed to arjuna@newcastle.ac.uk. Since there are too many papers to describe in one posting there is an index available in /pub/Arjuna/Index which contains the abstracts from all of the papers/theses and their locations within the ftp hierarchy. >3 BOS (prototyping) What: BOS From: Sean.Levy@cs.cmu.edu Date: 23 Apr 92 18:07:32 GMT [For readers of comp.object and self-interest, BOS is a prototype-based object system that I have, er, prototyped in Tcl. It is available via anon FTP to monch.edrc.cmu.edu under /usr0/snl/archive/bos-1.2.tar.Z (you have to cd to /usr0/snl/archive first and then get the file, due to CMU security hacks in ftpd). I thought that this would be of interest to comp.object and self-interest, so I'm cross-posting/mailing --S] Note: I play very fast and loose with the terminology of OOP to get my point across. I apologize if I offend any sensibilities, and will clarify what I say if it is obfuscated by my use of terms. >4 G++ for DOS (Many sites) :From: DJ Delorie <dj@ctron.com> :Newsgroups: gnu.announce,gnu.misc.discuss : DJGPP 1.10 is now available! : : : --- DJGPP - G++ for MSDOS/386 --- :djgpp is normally uploaded to: : omnigate.clarkson.edu 128.153.4.2 pub/msdos/djgpp : math.utexas.edu 128.83.133.215 pub/msdos/djgpp(*) : ftp.uni-koeln.de 134.95.128.208 : msdos/gnuprogs/djgpp (*) : ftp.eb.ele.tue.nl 131.155.40.15 : pub/pc/gnu/gcc-pl* & gcc-newst : wowbagger.pc-labor.uni-bremen.de 134.102.228.9 pub/msdos/djgpp : src.doc.ic.ac.uk 146.169.2.1 ibmpc/djgpp : ftp.mcc.ac.uk 130.88.200.7 pub/djgpp : UK.AC.MCC.FTPJ (JANET) user<guest> <PUB>djgpp :(*) Please do not access during working hours (7am - 6pm their local time) >5 cooC (Concurrent, OO C ext.)

This release is something of a beta test since the language has not been widely used outside Berkeley. It is hoped that this release will draw useful comments and suggestions from the world at large that will help in improving future versions of FMPL. >7 MAX (visual OO) From: fingerhu@ircam.fr (Michel Fingerhut) Subject: IRCAM DSP software for DEC/ALPHA and DEC/MIPS Organization: Inst. de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique, Paris Date: Fri, 13 Aug 93 11:25:23 GMT ftp.ircam.fr:/pub/IRCAM/programs contains some of the IRCAM-developed software packages (in demo version; see further down for availability of the fully functional versions), including runnable binaries for both the DEC/ALPHA (osf1) and DEC/MIPS (ultrix) architectures, and soon available on other platforms (SGI and Macintosh). MAX MAX is a visual, object-oriented, programming language, initially designed for interactive musical performance, but which is suitable for digital signal processing as well as real-time control. It allows interconnecting of oscillators and filters, building custom controller modules and simulation units all from a core collection of signal processing objects. First developed by Miller Puckette at IRCAM in late 1986 to control the IRCAM 4X, it was later implemented on the Apple Macintosh as a graphical programming environment for MIDI applications. This version has been extended by the Opcode company in Palo Alto, CA (USA), and is available through them. The Alpha version (and its demo-only subset) is based on the NeXT version, where it is used to control the IRCAM-designed ISPW board. This card, based on two Intel i860 microprocessors, handles numerically-intensive real-time operations. To date, it has been extensively used in live performance of full-length musical compositions (see some references in the MAX/doc directory), as well as in scientific and experimental applications requiring real-time control. SVP SVP (``Super Vocodeur de Phase'') is a signal processing tool which was designed and developed at IRCAM by Gilles Poirot and Philippe Depalle. It is a full system for the analysis and synthesis of sound, whose core is a phase vocoder, and which comprises several modules for analysis (FFT, LPC..), filtering (band modes, surface modes...), time- scaling, mixing, spectral combination, cross-synthesis and amplification, which can be combined in multiple ways. UDI UDI is a library of C routines which provides a coherent software approach for developing and maintaining digital signal processing algorithms on stand-alone workstations or on host/array processor configuration. Initially designed for sound signal analysis and synthesis, it can be used by any application which does vector math calculation. It provides functions ranging from elementary vector and matrix operations to more specific DSP operations, such as, but not limited to, FFT, least-square, linear prediction coding, discrete cepstrum and pitch detection. UDI was actually used in implementing SVP. HOW TO RETRIEVE The following example contains underlined text.

Depending on which aspects of object-orientation you want to convey you may choose your teaching language. If you want to teach the aspect of software reuse and nice graphical user interfaces, you should choose Smalltalk. If you want to show students how to program in a best selling language you should choose C++. *** In which case should I choose O'small? You should consider O'small if you believe that computer languages should have a GOOD FORMAL SEMANTICS. Everyone will agree that a language needs a formal semantics. Otherwise, your program will yield different results on different implementations. A good formal semantics does not only serve the purpose of precisely defining what the results of your programs are, it also gives insights about the nature of the language. You should consider O'small if you do not want to waste time on unnecessary details. O'small is CONCISE. Its syntax and semantics takes no more than one page (if you choose the right font). Its syntax is similar to more traditional languages. O'small has been used in a lecture showing the differences between wrapper semantics (denotational) and method lookup semantics (operational). O'small is FREE! Up to now, there has only been an O'small interpreter written in Miranda [Hen91b]. This interpreter is directly based on the denotational semantics of O'small [Hen91d]. The interpreter itself is available by ftp. However, you need Miranda in order to run it. Now, there is a NEW IMPLEMENTATION of O'small based entirely on EASILY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE. This software is not free but it does not cost anything. The new implementation is based on an abstract machine [Boe93]. You can MODIFY the language and have your students make experiments with it. The source code of the abstract machine and the specifications for the parser and scanner generators are available. Using these generators you can make experiments for your own research in statical analysis of object-oriented languages. *** I would like to TRY O'small You get the implementation by anonymous internet ftp.
