Identification clouds: aspects of the implementation

This note is concerned with the automatic assignment of keyphrases to (short) documents, for instance abstracts. The assumption is that there is a standardized list of keyphrases that can be used. The emphasis is on implementation issue

Reusability of coordination programs

Isolating computation and communication concerns into separate pure computation and pure coordination modules enhances modularity, understandability, and reusability of parallel and/or distributed software. This can be achieved by moving communication primitives (such as SendMessage and ReceiveMessage), which are now commonly scattered in application codes, into separate modules written in a language dedicated to the coordination of processes and the flow of information among them. MANIFOLD is a pure coordination language that encourages the separation of communication and computation concerns, We use real, concrete, running MANIFOLD programs to demonstrate the concept of pure coordination modules and the advantage of their reuse in applications of different nature

Coordination of a heterogeneous coastal hydrodynamics application in manifold

In this paper we show how the coordination language Manifold can be used to control the interactions of multiple heterogeneous application programs. We use a concrete example from Delft Hydaulics, a consulting and research company which develops models of natural hydraulic systems (e.g., river flows, tidal currents, wave penetrations in harbours, etc.). These simulation programs accurately model water flow phenomena and are used for many places in the world. Often, however, a number of these programs need to be used in conjunction with each other to address more comprehensive problems. For example, the water level in the Rotterdam harbour is determined both by the behaviour of the North Sea and by the discharge of the rivers Rhine and Meuse. Instead of creating Unix shell scripts for each particular configuration of application programs, an executive program has been developed and implemented in Manifold that reads a configuration file and subsequently starts, interconnects and controls all relevant component programs

Ambulant: A Fast, Multi-Platform Open Source SMIL Player

This paper provides an overview of the Ambulant Open SMIL player. Unlike other SMIL implementations, the Ambulant Player is a reconfigureable SMIL engine that can be customized for use as an experimental media player core. The Ambulant Player is a reference SMIL engine that can be integrated in a wide variety of media player projects. This paper starts with an overview of our motivations for creating a new SMIL engine, then discusses the architecture of the Ambulant Core (including the scalability and custom integration fe
