What: We are developing a tool to track variables and their values in C programs as they change at runtime. Because of the low-level, unrestricted memory access the language allows, the challenge lies in collecting accurate information without disrupting the program’s execution. Our approach combines techniques from profiling with memory tracking to analyze dynamic allocation throughout the lifetime of a program.

Welcome to the Python for XBMC Tutorial! This project began one day when I discovered XBMC (XBox Media Center) supports scripts written in Python. Darkie made the port, and I’d like to thank him for his great work and support! (I harassed him with questions and feature suggestions and he was always nice enough to reply to the questions and to add the features.) Curious, I decided to try to use this scripting language to display some basic stuff.

Web Services Description Language (WDSL), originally developed by IBM, Microsoft, and others, is an XML format for technical description of Web services. In this tutorial, Mike Olson and Uche Ogbuji introduce WSDL4Py, an open-source Python library for WSDL 1.1 hosted by IBM developerWork’s open-source zone. Usage of the library is explained, as well as discussion of its development.

This document outlines new functionality, system requirements, installation procedures, and descriptions of the documentation included with the NI Vision Development Module. The NI Vision Development Module is for engineers and scientists who are developing machine vision and scientific imaging applications. The NI Vision Development Module includes NI Vision and NI Vision Assistant. NI Vision is a library of powerful functions for image processing, and is available for LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, and Microsoft Visual Basic. NI Vision Assistant is an interactive environment for developers who need to quickly prototype vision applications without programming. In addition, the NI Vision Development Module ships with the NI Vision Acquisition Software CD, which includes National Instruments driver software for controlling image acquisition products.

First generation wireless systems, which primarily provide analog voice service, are widely in use worldwide. Second generation systems support digital voice/data traffic; some of these systems are already deployed or undergoing deployment. Third generation wireless networks will ultimately carry multimedia traffic that are characterized by combination of different informaion streams of diverse nature (e.g., voice, video, image, data). Some of the salient features of multimedia applications are high speed and changing bit rates (periodic and bursty arrivals), several virtual connections over the same access, synchronization of different information streams, and various service/deliveIy requirements (QoS).

As part of a large undergraduate history course he teaches about World War II, Dr. Martinez developed a mapping mashup that he introduces to the 150 students at the beginning of the semester. The mashup, which works with Google maps, represents major events leading up to and during the war. Fundamentally, it’s a map, he explains, showing them on a projection screen that it works very much like the online mapping tools students regularly use. The map covers virtually the entire globe, and users can move around the world, zooming in and out, showing the area of search as a map, satellite images, or satellite images with maps, dates, and events superimposed.

Delphi/400 is a suite of application modernization tools designed to enable System i application developers to build completely new Web applications or build new Web interfaces to existing applications. For the System/i developer, there is lots of good news. The approach is based on the same notion of holistic application design and user interface / logic separation that System i developers have been using since the box you and I love was once called the System/38 Delphi/400 is the toolset that best addresses the notion of the application factory of rapid application development. It is the natural next step in a progression of tools from those with sophisticated names such as “Intelligent Development Environment,” “Componentization,” and “Visualization.” Yes, It is all of those and more. It does its thing by asking the developer to think about the whole application, not just one Web page at a time. Isn’t that how System i developers already think?
