REPORTS AVAILABLE FROM THE DISTRIBUTED OBJECT COMPUTING DEPARTMENT GTE LABORATORIES INCORPORATED 40 Sylvan Road, M/S 62 Waltham, Massachusetts 02254 For over six years, the primary focus of the Distributed Object Computing Department within GTE Laboratories has been the Distributed Object Management (DOM) project. The DOM project conducts research into object-oriented technology for integrating heterogeneous, autonomous, distributed (HAD) computer systems/resources. Major research areas include: interoperable object models; interoperable, distributed object architectures; heterogeneous, extended transaction models; and information requests in HAD environments. We are experimenting in these areas using our prototype DOM system which we have developed over the past five years. This technology is based on ideas from a number of technical areas including distributed, object-oriented, databases, multi-database systems, operating systems, and programming languages.

This is an announcement for KEOBJ, an object-oriented micro-kernel for Digital Signal Processors (DSP) and RISC processors. This is also a request for comments from the Internet community. Feedback on the architecture and programming interface will be appreciated and incorporated into the next release. 1 DESCRIPTION ------------- KEOBJ is an object-oriented micro-kernel optimized for advanced embedded applications, and it particularly targets Digital Signal Processors (DSP) and RISC processors in multimedia environments. Its main features are object-orientation, real-time behavior, signal processing support, micro-kernel architecture and scalability. 1.1 Object-orientation The kernel is a collection of system classes exported to the applications (e.g Process, Thread, Memory, ...). An object name space provides a way to locate any public object (e.g. IPC, memory) using a symbolic path. The kernel is written in C++ and is easily portable. 1.2 Real-time behavior The design stresses fast response time and predictability to qualify for the real-time label. The kernel is reentrant and preeemptable. 1.3 Signal processing support Besides providing an architecture appropriate for most general purpose applications, the kernel incorporates dedicated features for signal processing applications. This includes two phases interrupt processing, time-deadline scheduling, Inter Process Communications, multiple memory pools, awareness of the constraints due to a single data type (word). 1.4 Micro-kernel architecture Probably the most important feature of the kernel is the ability to be extended at run-time with new services such as devices drivers, public classes (IPC, file systems, windowing systems). Applications and system services are dynamically loaded by a COFF compatible loader. The core kernel is customizable at run-time through a personality mechanism to emulate other environments (Operating systems) or to tailor the processes environments. 1.5 Scalability The API supports physical and virtual memory organizations with the same semantics. Applications source code will be portable across DSP and RISC processors. The architecture supports symmetric multiprocessing and distribution (Available by mid-1994). 2 WHERE TO FIND THE PACKAGE --------------------------- A set of documentation about KEOBJ is available via anonymous ftp on the following Internet server: netcom.com (192.100.81.100) in file /pub/softia/keobj.zip If you do not have access to Internet, contact me for other delivery media at: Chris Bidaut clb@softia.com Telephone (408) 262-6520 Fax (408) 262-7210 >54 MindFrame for Windows From: gcl@netcom.com (Geoff Lee) Subject: "MindFrame for Windows" (freeware) application is available for ftp Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1993 21:07:28 GMT MindFrame for Windows 1.0 Release Note ====================================== mndframe.zip (MindFrame for Windows) is available for anonymous ftp on ftp.cica.indiana.edu.

Schmidt) Subject: Re: C++ and Semaphores Date: 22 Nov 1993 19:27:00 -0800 Organization: University of California at Irvine: ICS Dept. THE "ADAPTIVE COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT" (ACE) LIBRARY: A Collection of C++ Network Programming Components -------------------------------------------------- The ACE library is available for anonymous ftp from the ics.uci.edu (128.195.1.1) host in the gnu/C++_wrappers.tar.Z file (approximately .4 meg compressed). This release contains contains the source code, documentation, and example test drivers for a number of C++ wrapper libraries and higher-level network programming foundation classes developed as part of the ADAPTIVE transport system project at the University of California, Irvine. . The C++ wrappers encapsulate many of the user-level BSD and System V Release 4 IPC facilities such as sockets, TLI, select and poll, named pipes and STREAM pipes, the mmap family of memory-mapped file commands, System V IPC (i.e., shared memory, semaphores, message queues), and explicit dynamic linking (e.g., dlopen/dlsym/dlclose) using type-secure, object-oriented interfaces. . The higher-level network programming foundation classes integrate and enhance the lower-level C++ wrappers to support the configuration of concurrent network daemons composed of monolithic and/or stackable services Many of the C++ wrappers and higher-level components have been described in issues of the C++ Report, as well as in the proceedings of (1) the 2nd Annual C++ World conference held in Dallas, Texas in October, 1993, (2) the 11th Annual Sun Users Group Conference held in San Jose, CA in December, 1993, and (3) the 2nd International Workshop on Configurable Distributed Systems held at CMU in Pittsburgh, PA in March, 1994. A relatively complete set of documentation and extensive examples are included in the release. A mailing list is available for discussing bug fixes, enhancements, and porting issues regarding ACE.

Ernst <mernst@research.microsoft.com> Subject: Value dependence graphs paper available Date: Tue, 9 Nov 1993 00:59:36 GMT The paper "Value Dependence Graphs: Representation Without Taxation", which describes a new intermediate representation which is particularly amenable to optimization, is available. (This version corrects typos and clarifies a few minor points that may not have been completely clear in the version which will appear in the POPL 94 proceedings.) You can get a copy in three ways: 1. Via anonymous ftp, obtain file ftp://research.microsoft.com/pub/papers/ (or file vdg.ps635 if you have a HP LaserJet 4 printer). 2. Reply to mernst@research.microsoft.com requesting PostScript by email, and I will send you the PostScript file of your choice. (The files are 483K and 1018K bytes, respectively.) 3. Reply to mernst@research.microsoft.com sending me your physical mail address, and I will mail you a hardcopy. The abstract is: The value dependence graph (VDG) is a sparse dataflow-like representation that simplifies program analysis and transformation. It is a functional representation that represents control flow as data flow and makes explicit all machine quantities, such as stores and I/O channels. We are developing a compiler that builds a VDG representing a program, analyzes and transforms the VDG, then produces a control flow graph (CFG) [ASU86] from the optimized VDG. This framework simplifies transformations and improves upon several published results. For example, it enables more powerful code motion than [CLZ86, FOW87], eliminates as many redundancies as [AWZ88, RWZ88] (except for redundant loops), and provides important information to the code scheduler [BR91]. We exhibit a fast, one-pass method for elimination of partial redundancies that never performs redundant code motion [KRS92, DS93] and is simpler than the classical [MR79, Dha91] or SSA [RWZ88] methods. These results accrue from eliminating the CFG from the analysis/transformation phases and using demand dependences in preference to control dependences.

This also speeds up loading of ILU modules considerably. 2) CORBA-style union support is now there. 3) ILU dynamic object creation is now fully supported. That is, an ILU kernel server may now be created which calls back to Lisp functions to create objects on demand, rather than having to have them available before clients make calls on them. 4) A non-threaded Franz ACL implementation of the ILU support is now included, solely as an example of how to support ILU in Common Lisp implementations without threads. Of course, if your CL has threads, your ILU support should use them. 5) A new version of the ILU manual is included, with the appropriate changes to the CL chapter. 6) A modified version of examples/test1/ is provided, with Lisp examples of the test1 program. ``But what's ILU, anyway?'' The Inter-Language Unification system (ILU) is a multi-language object interface system. The object interfaces provided by ILU hide implementation distinctions between different languages, between different address spaces, and between operating system types. ILU can be used to build multi-lingual object-oriented libraries ("class libraries") with well-specified language-independent interfaces. It can also be used to implement distributed systems. It can also be used to define and document interfaces between the modules of non-distributed programs. ILU interfaces are specified in ILU's Interface Specification Language. The 1.8 release of ILU contains support for the programming languages Common Lisp, C++, ANSI C, Modula-3, and Python). It has been installed on many flavors of UNIX, including SPARC machines running SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2, SGI MIPS machines running IRIX 5.2, Intel 486 machines running Linux 1.1.78, DEC Alpha machines with OSF/1, IBM RS/6000 machines running AIX, and HP machines running HP/UX. A port of ILU to the Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows NT environments has been finished, and will form part of the 1.9 release. ILU supports both threaded and non-threaded operation. One of the implementation goals of ILU is to maximize compatibility with existing open standards. As a result, ILU provides support for use of the OMG CORBA IDL interface description language, and can be thought of as a CORBA ORB system (though with omissions from and extensions to the CORBA spec). As another result, ILU includes a self-contained implementation of ONC RPC, and it is possible to describe and use existing RPC services as ILU objects.

Aoife >63 Chorus,Dist,RT,MicroK From Marc Maathuis (mm@chorus.fr): You may want to take a look at CHORUS, a distributed real-time microkernel that can be combined with the CHORUS/MiX subsystem, which is a modular, fully compatible UNIX System V (R3.2 or R4.0) implementation. There is also an OO subsystem named COOL (CHORUS Object Oriented Layer). CHORUS runs on i386/i486, 680x0, SPARC, transputer and on several other processors. CHORUS is available as a source technology. In Jan 94, SCO and Chorus will release a *binary* product for the PC market: "CHORUS/Fusion for SCO UNIX" is binary compatible with SCO UNIX and offers real-time functionality (POSIX 1003.1b and .1c, i.e. the former .4 and .4a interfaces) and clustering functionality. COOL provides a distributed OO programming environment for C++. COOL supports a set of system calls that allow the creation of dynamic objects. These objects can be sent messages in a location transparent way, they can be migrated between address spaces and sites and they can be stored in a persistent store; this is done in a transparent way, as an extension of the C++ language. There are several technical reports (in PostScript format) on CHORUS and on COOL available via anonymous FTP from Chorus systemes, France: ftp.chorus.fr [192.33.15.3], directory pub/chorus-reports. See the file "index" for an overview. There is also a set of ~90 slides on Chorus and CHORUS available in the directory pub/chorus-slides/CS-TR-92-64 (PostScript, versions 1-up and 2-up). If VTT is a public research lab, then you might be interested by the fact that Chorus systemes has special programs for universities.

"Adaptive Optimization for Self: Reconciling High Performance with Exploratory Programming." Ph.D. thesis, Computer Science Department, Stanford University, August 1994. The report is available in PostScript form via ftp from self.stanford.edu:/pub/papers/hoelzle-thesis.ps.Z or via Mosaic from http://self.stanford.edu. In a few weeks, it should be available in printed form as a Stanford CSD technical report and as a Sun Microsystems Laboratories technical report. Abstract: Crossing abstraction boundaries often incurs a substantial run-time overhead in the form of frequent procedure calls. Thus, pervasive use of abstraction, while desirable from a design standpoint, may lead to very inefficient programs. Aggressively optimizing compilers can reduce this overhead but conflict with interactive programming environments because they introduce long compilation pauses and often preclude source-level debugging. Thus, programmers are caught on the horns of two dilemmas: they have to choose between abstraction and efficiency, and between responsive programming environments and efficiency. This dissertation shows how to reconcile these seemingly contradictory goals by performing optimizations lazily. >65 ORBELINE: CORBA PostModern Computing is making its CORBA-compliant ORBeline product available free of charge to the academic community for teaching and research purposes. ORBeline is available via anonymous ftp from labrea.stanford.edu under pub/pomoco. We are making the SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.3, and OSF/1 versions of ORBeline available. We will consider making other platforms available as well if there is enough interest. Suresh Challa PostModern Computing suresh@pomoco.com What follows is the README file of this release: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORBELINE -------- The SMART Object Request Broker ORBeline is a complete implementation of OMG's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). ORBeline goes beyond the standard specification to provide a SMART communication framework allowing you to easily develop large distributed applications that are robust, scalable, flexible and maintainable. ORBeline incorporates PostModern's proven communication framework that links thousands of nodes. Highlights ---------- ORBeline's SMART Agent dynamically tracks the communication taking place between all objects and their clients: o Smart Binding and Protocol Selection ORBeline automatically picks the best communication mechanism as soon as you try to access an object. If the object is in your process, it bypasses the ORB and the network altogether. When the object is on a remote node, ORBeline's SMART and efficient on-the-wire protocol is selected. When the object is implemented using another vendor's ORB, that vendor's on-the-wire protocol is used. o Built-in Fault Tolerance ORBeline's SMART Agent monitors communication between objects and their clients. In case of a failure, the SMART agent and ORBeline cooperate to reestablish connections between processes or their replicas. o Dynamic Directory Service ORBeline's Dynamic Directory Service tracks all registered and active objects, providing a high degree of efficiency, total location transparency and easy administration. There is no need for cumbersome configuration files, and no need for heavyweight object migration and replication mechanisms. o Platforms ORBeline runs on all classes of computers ranging from Cray supercomputers, to workstations, to personal computers and embedded systems. Complete CORBA implementation ----------------------------- ORBeline is the most complete ORB implementation currently on the market. It features the following: o IDL Compiler implementing the entire Interface Definition Language. o Static and Dynamic Invocation Interfaces o Complete Interface and Implementation Repositories. o Support for Object Activation. o Complete set of object administration tools. Features -------- o High Performance and Low Overhead ORBeline provides high performance while adding little overhead to your application. ORBeline is the only ORB product available on the market today suitable for running on real-time, embedded systems. o Flexible and Easy to Use With ORBeline it is easy to develop, deploy and maintain large distributed applications. ORBeline provides a high degree of flexibility and takes care of cumbersome details allowing developers to focus on their applications. o WAN Connectivity ORBeline uses PostModern's proven communication technology to connect wide area networks. o Scalability ORBeline's smart use of network resources and communication protocols allows applications to scale to networks of thousands of nodes. o Object Migration and Replication ORBeline's SMART agent and Dynamic Directory Service allow easy object migration and replication. Platforms --------- We are making the SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.3, and OSF/1 versions of ORBeline available free of charge to the academic community. We will consider making other platforms available as well if there is enough interest. The following compilers are supported in this release: Solaris 2.3: Sun C++ 4.0 (native), SparcWorks 3.0 SunOS 4.x: Sun C++ 3.0 (cfront), SparcWorks 2.0.1 OSF/1 1.3: DEC C++ If there is enough interest, we can make versions compatible with other compilers available as well. LICENSING --------- ORBeline is provided free of charge to the academic community for teaching and research purposes. After installing ORBeline, call us at (415) 967-6169 or send e-mail to info@pomoco.com and we will send you a perpetual license for your site. If you are interested in ORBeline for commercial purposes, contact us and we can provide a limited time evaluation license. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ---------------- We would like to thank Stanford University for providing us with a high-speed ftp site from which to distribute this ORBeline release.

I am an assistant professor working at Department of Computer Engineering in Pusan University of Foreign Studies which resides in Pusan, Korea. My major interest is in software engineering especially in the area of object oriented methodologies. In teaching courses in systems analysis and software engineering I found a need for a good case tool that could be used by my students. Unfortunately, commercial case tools are too expensive for a university to purchase so I developed OOD. I have spent 17 man months building OOD. Because this is my first project combining object oriented methods, Motif, and C++, some of the source code may be a little clumsy. However, it does work well and it is still evolving. This project is very hard but is also very interesting. Let's enjoy it together. P.S.: I am anxious for your criticism or comment on this product. So, if it works on your system, please respond to me with even a one line (very short) message. It will give me some encouragement. Moreover please inform me your status (student, professor etc.) if possible. -Taegyun Kim --------------- Contents -------------- 0. Summary 1. System Environment 2. Building OOD 3. Initializing the Working Environment 4. Functions 5. Examples 6. Reference Books 7. Cautions 8. FAQ ---------------------------------------- 0. Summary ---------- The Object Modeling Technique [OMT] by James Rumbaugh et al. is a methodology for object oriented development with a graphical notation for representing object oriented concepts. Object Oriented Designer [OOD] is a case tool for constructing the object diagrams defined in OMT. In order to use OOD it is necessary to understand OMT and its graphical notation. See reference (2). Why "OMT"? OMT evolved from the Extended Entity Relationship [EER] model which I have studied since the mid 80's. There are a number of other approaches to expressing object oriented concepts but I believe that OMT is superior to most of these. Yourdon's Object Oriented Analysis [OOA] notation, for example, is another excellent approach to the problem but has some limits in functionality, particularly with respect to data modeling, that are present in OMT. Currently, OOD has following primary functions: - general graphics editor (with limited functionality) - object diagram layout (with some additions w.r.t. original OMT notation) - C++ code skeleton generation (header file + source file) The comments and codes for individual member functions can be documented, or edited within OOD directly. The C++ code generator supports inheritance. I have attempted to make OOD as user-friendly as possible. My students learn to use it in a day even without a manual. The user-friendliness of OOD is due to my own object oriented, user interface mechanisms. Currently OOD generates a C++ code skeleton from an object diagram. I have a short term final goal to develop an object oriented "environment" with flexibility and portability. I think that about additional 20 man months effort could lead me to the final goal. Because I am currently working very hard to enhance its functionality, I am not especially concerned with system portability issues at the moment so building OOD on your particular platform may require a little work on your part. Please inform me of any changes that you need to make to build OOD on your system. 1. System Environment --------------------- OOD was built on a SPARC station running OS4.1.x, X11-R5 and Motif-1.2 and C++-2.0. OOD has also been successfully built on a SPARC using gcc-2.5.8 and libg++-2.5.3. It should build on most UNIX systems with X11-R5, Motif-1.2 and a "reasonable" C++ compiler. 2. Building OOD --------------------- 1) In ood directory edit the Makefile to reflect your environment 2) run "make depend" 3) run "make" 3. Initialize Working Environment -------------------------------- OOD requires the user to select a working repository in which to store various output files. If this is the first time you are running OOD: 1) point at the top-menu, 2) select "Environment", 3) select "Setup", 4) define your working repository. If a working repository has been previously defined, select it: 1) point top-menu 2) select "change to" 3) set your working repository ... >67 OOTher OO CASE Tool From: conrozi@kk90.ericsson.se (Roman Zielinski TT/TSM) Subject: CASE OOTher 1.06f released (free/shareware) Organization: Ericsson Date: Tue, 20 Sep 1994 07:15:09 GMT User Contributions: |
