The MULTI-VISION is an opto-electronic night-vision device of the newest generation. MULTI-VISION enables you to see in poor visibility and in the dark. It allows you to move around safely. MULTI-VISION has a built-in electronic zoom. This provides a magnification of the image of the observed object, bringing it virtually closer. The effect is similar as with binoculars. MULTI-VISION can also be connected to external devices, such as video/television sets, DVD players and computers, so that you can view the images inside the goggles.

Niklaus Wirth of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology {ETH] waspresented the 1984 ACM A. M. Ihring Award at the Association’s Annual Conference in San Francisco in October in recognition of his outstanding work in developing a sequence of innovative computer languages: Euler’ ALGOL-W, Modula, and Pascal. Pascal, in particular, has become significant pedagogically and has established a foundation for future research in the areas of computer language, systems, and architecture. The hallmarks of a Wirth language are its simplicity, economy of design, and high-quality engineering, which result in a language whose notation appears to be a natural extension of algorithmic thinking rather than an extraneous formalism.

This document presents my work as part of course COSC 4080 during fall 2002, under the supervision of Professor Jonathan Ostroff. The initial purpose of the project was to write a reusable component to store Eiffel objects in XML format, and also to investigate a new product from Eiffel Software, namely Eiffel Envision.

Eiffel Envision is a plug-in for Visual Studio.NET that facilitate the writing, debugging and testing of Eiffel code in Visual Studio.NET. Needless to say, the integration between Eiffel and the .NET Framework (hereinafter referred to as Eiffel.NET) is not just at the GUI level. Eiffel is now one of the few languages that are .NET compatible. This means that programmers can compile Eiffel code to run on the .NET Common Language Runtime (more on this issue in the next section).

The web is changing from being essentially a unidirectional publishing medium to one which supports multiparty content creation and collaboration – a change which provides both rich opportunities and challenges. The use of blogs, wikis, media-sharing services and other social software has been shown to empower both staff and students and to create exciting new learning opportunities. Examples include the use of blogs to allow students to share and reflect on learning, and to allow researchers to share knowledge, exchange ideas and easily publish work. Wikis provide a collaborative, easy to use content authoring tool for students, researchers and support staff. Social bookmarking services have introduced user defined tags, facilitating shared resource identification, while virtual worlds like Second Life have introduced new possibilities for social networking among distance students, and unique opportunities for the development of innovative pedagogies.

Of the many innovations the Internet has brought us, one of the most visible is online shopping. The advantages for merchants are clear lower overheads in both staff and shop space, provision of greater convenience for their customers, 24/7 and international availability of the store, and the ability to compete on a far more level playing field with larger companies. The spread of internet shopping sites is a testament to all of these.
