Programming with TopSpeed Modula-2


Book Description

This text is a gentle yet thorough introduction to the Modula-2 language, emphasising good programming style and the importance of defining modules for abstract data types and abstract state machines. Designed and developed by a group of programmers previously employed at Borland the text provides an accessible tutorial for programming and using this compiler.




Reducing the Cost of Spacecraft Ground Systems and Operations


Book Description

Reducing the cost of space program interests people more and more nowadays due to the concerns of budget limitation and commercialization of space technology. The Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Reducing the Cost of Spacecraft Ground Systems and Operations bring together papers contributed by the authors representing the research organizations, academic institutions and commercial sectors of 10 countries around the world. The papers encompass the subject areas in mission planning and operation, TT&C systems, mission control centers, and mini and small satellite support, highlighting the issues concerned by the researchers and engineers involved in a wide range of space programs and space industries.




Perspectives of System Informatics


Book Description

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Andrei Ershov Memorial Conference, PSI 2001, held in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia, in July 2001. The 50 revised papers presented together with 2 invited memorial papers devoted to the work of Andrei Ershov were carefully selected during 2 rounds of reviewing and improvement. The book offers topical sections on computing and algorithms, logical methods, verification, program transformation and synthesis, semantics and types, processes and concurrency, UML specification, Petri nets, testing, software construction, data and knowledge bases, logic programming, constraint programming, program analysis, and language implementation.




Modula-2 Applied


Book Description

Programming is a skill requiring knowledge of both the basic constructs of computer languages and the techniques employing these constructs. How these are used in any application is often determined by experience of existing programs. This book provides such experience by describing the techniques and implementing them in one useful program: an advanced drawing package. The book also shows the development of a large program. The program is implemented using TopSpeed Modula-2 running on IBM PCs and compatibles. Modula-2 is ideally suited for the task. A knowledge of the language is assumed. The program, including its source, is available on disk.

Computer Assisted Learning


Book Description

ICCAL '89 is the second in a series of International Conferences on Computer Assisted Learning. The first one was organized by the Institute for Computer Assisted Learning (ICAL) of the University of Calgary, May '87. The success of this first ICCAL demonstrated the need for a regular international, high-caliber conference on post-secondary education which brings together an expanded list of issues concerning computer learning. The coherency of the ICCAL conference series is assured by an international steering committee, and a group of experts in the field acting as the advisory board. This volume consists of about forty papers selected by the program committee from one hundred submissions. It also includes printed versions of a number of invited presentations by outstanding scholars in the field.
