This paper describes the process of introducing the object-oriented approach to a medium size software development company as well as the experience gained through this transition. The use of object-oriented techniques and tools is also evaluated in terms of improving the efficiency of software ...
Support of object structures has existed since Oracle8i to provide support for an object-oriented approach to programming. For example, programmers can create user-defined data types, complete with their own methods and attributes. Oracle’s object support includes a feature called Object Views throug...
SFML is an object-oriented C++ framework. As can be guessed by the name, its philosophy consists of having a simple, user-friendly application programming interface (API), and allowing for both high performances and fast development. SFML is a multimedia library, meaning that it provides a ...
The package defines an object-oriented Python API that hides much of the internal complexity of openSMILE and returns a pandas.DataFrame for convenience. Extracting baseline ComParE 2016 acoustic features on a WAV file becomes as simple as: import opensmilesmile = opensmile.Smile(feature_set=opensmile...
The first section illustrates the space-set concept, its analytical dimensions, and its roots in different literatures. Drawing on existing quantitative studies, it also outlines two major research questions that the space-set approach can address more systematically: namely, the social stratification ...
I can understand if someone doesn't like DemoApp's C++ class -- it's a personal preference, after all -- but the benefits of object-oriented languages are well-known and, given the state of optimizing compilers, characterizing a single wrapper class as "bloat" is a gross mis...
Introducing Sterling, the Object-Oriented Database for Silverlight and Windows Phone 7 Today, I'm excited to share a project that I've been working on for some time now. The project, called Sterling (for Sterling Silverlight, of course!) is a very light weight approach to handling serializat...
In addition, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology was streamlined, requiring fewer classes and interfaces and offering a simpler approach to object-relational mapping by taking advantage of the Java Persistence API (informally referred to as JPA). Usability improvements in many areas of the platform...
I call it my billion-dollar mistake. It was the invention of the null reference in 1965. At that time, I was designing the first comprehensive type system for references in an object oriented language (ALGOL W). My goal was to ensure that all use of references should be absolutely safe,...
Out of this new scenario, we have identified this new computing approach that we call “Social Dispersed Computing”. This is a powerful paradigm that can significantly improve the performance experienced by applications in what concerns latency and available throughput that will, in turn, have an ...
