Object-oriented DBMS requirements

The requirements on an object-oriented DBMS for management of information in a large, complex enterprise are presented. These requirements aid in the achievement of an environment characterized by data sharing, open architectures, application and data portability, and assurance of data integrity. They were defined from the point of view of a user of the DBMS; therefore they describe the expected functionality of the DBMS and do not specify the method of implementation to achieve this functionality. They encompass requirements on the data model, query and data manipulation languages, the system architecure, interfaces to the system, change management, and transaction management.     

Grouped Approach for the Design of H.264/AVC Motion Estimation Architectures

This letter presents a novel approach for organizing computational resources into groups within H.264/AVC motion estimation architectures, leading to reductions of up to 75% in the equivalent gate count with respect to state‐of‐the‐art designs.     

Memory of Distributed Computer Systems: Distinctive Features of Their Architectural-Structural Organization and Use

Distinctive features of architectural-structural organization and use of memory networks are considered with the aim of choosing an optimal configuration in designing distributed computer systems.     

Characterizing navigation maps for web applications with the NMM approach

This paper presents the Navigation Maps Modeling approach (NMM), which provides platform independent models for characterizing navigation maps of web applications. The NMM approach is conceived to obtain a trade off between high and low-level design notations. As high-level design notations, NMM models permit architectural details that may hinder the overall understanding of the web application to be left out. As low-level design notations, NMM models can easily be transformed into detailed architectural designs, which are very valuable at coding and maintenance stages.     

Parallel associative combinator evaluation II

A new evaluation model for SK combinator expressions is presented and used as a basis for the design of a novel processor. The resulting machine architecture resembles a dataflow ring, but executions are constrained to be fully lazy. An automatic dynamic load sharing mechanism for a distributed multiprocessor architecture is suggested, and initial simulation results are presented.     

Adding Support for Persistence to CLOS via Its Metaobject Protocol

Language-level support for object persistence frees programmers from having to confront a broad class of database issues from within their applications. By virtue of its metaobject protocol, CLOS is a language whose semantics can be tailored by individual programmers. We used the metaobject protocol to extend CLOS with support for object persistence. Our goal was to obtain a version of CLOS with persistence to which we could easily port a commercial geometric CAD modeling system. We describe the design and implementation of our persistence extension and highlight the strengths and weaknesses exhibited by the CLOS metaobject protocol during our experiment. For many aspects of the implementation we found that the metaobject protocol was ideal. In other cases we had to choose among paying a large performance penalty, extending the protocol, and bypassing the protocol by modifying the language implementation directly.

一种面向对象体系结构的度量模型

针对面向对象体系结构的软件系统缺乏有效度量方法的现状,通过行为、逻辑、构件和部署4个互为补充的模型,对面向对象的软件进行了架构分析,并确定了度量数据的采集集合.基于架构分析获得的原始系统数据,吸收快速原型与白盒、黑盒的基本原理,作者提出了一种适合面向确定对象系统的功能-结构-原型度量模型FCPMM(Function Configuration Prototype Metric Model).结合面向对象的基本准则与基本遗传算法,导出了该模型的循环收敛算法,从而可动态求解软件系统的最优状态.最后利用Matlab仿真实例,从度量参数适应度和最佳个体解码值两个方面验证了该算法的可行性.     

网络媒介影响下建筑相关问题初探

自工业革命以来形成的社会生活方式,在信息数字技术的影响下发生着悄无声息的变化.从原子到比特,数字化生存是必然的趋势.网络媒介的出现使得人们在交流和机会等方面获得平等的权利.随之产生的人们的生活方式、行为的改变已经为艺术领域带来了新的变化.通过对艺术创作的考察,为建筑领域的相关问题提供了参照、借鉴.在建筑创作中,＂图＂与＂底＂的关系正在模糊化,信息交流方式更多样化并具有一定的阶段性,动态的模数将导致更具个性化的设计,空间界面更为柔化,设计成果的生成也具有了更多的不可预见性.
