Abstract Obliq is a lexically-scoped untyped interpreted language that supports distributed object-oriented computation. An Obliq computation may involve multiple threads of control within an address space, multiple address spaces on a machine, heterogeneous machines over a local network, and multiple net- works over the Internet. Obliq objects have state and are local to a site. Obliq computations can roam over the network, while maintaining network connections. Contents 1.

    Revision Control Solutions to Protect Your Documents and Track Workflow WHITE PAPER Contents Overview 3 Common Revision Control Systems 4 Revision Control Systems 4 Using BarTender with Revision Control Systems 4 Limitations of Windows Security 5 Librarian 6 Librarian Features 6 Benefits of Using Librarian with BarTender 7 File States, Publishing and Workflow in Librarian 8 Don’t Forget About Security! 9 Related Documentation 10 Overview A revision control system is based around the concept of tracking changes that happen within directories or files, and preventing one user from overwriting the work of another. Some revision control systems are also used to establish and track workflow for the progression of a file through a series of states. The collection of files or directories in a revision control system are usually called a repository. These systems allow you to specify a directory, file or group of files that will have their changes tracked. This frequently entails users "checking out" and "checking in" files from a repository. Changes are tracked as the user edits the folder or file; these changes will be visible to all users once the item is checked back in. Each revision is annotated with a timestamp and the person making the change. Some of the benefits of revision control include: l Automatic revision numbering for easy tracking. l Enhanced security. Not only does a "check in" and "check out" system keep one user's work from overwriting another, it can prevent unauthorized or even malicious users from accessing a document. l Some revision control systems include publishing "states," which allow you to track the publishing progress of a document and establish a logical, traceable workflow.

    Reed. J.;I.. Fdiet7, G. .j. unci AJjeh. ‘-1. ,-I Improving the Aircraft Design Process Using Web-based Modeling and Simulation John A. Reed?, Gregory J. Follenz, and Abdollah A. Afjeht tThe University of Toledo 2801 West Bancroft Street Toledo, Ohio 43606 :NASA John H. Glenn Research Center 2 1000 Brookpark Road Cleveland, Ohio 44135 Keywords: Web-based simulation, aircraft design, distributed simulation, JavaTM,object-oriented ~~ ~ ~ ~~ Supported by the High Performance Computing and Communication Project (HPCCP) at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Page 1 of35 Abstract Designing and developing new aircraft systems is time-consuming and expensive. Computational simulation is a promising means for reducing design cycle times, but requires a flexible software environment capable of integrating advanced multidisciplinary and muitifidelity analysis methods, dynamically managing data across heterogeneous computing platforms, and distributing computationally complex tasks. Web-based simulation, with its emphasis on collaborative composition of simulation models, distributed heterogeneous execution, and dynamic multimedia documentation, has the potential to meet these requirements. This paper outlines the current aircraft design process, highlighting its problems and complexities, and presents our vision of an aircraft design process using Web-based modeling and simulation. Page 2 of 35 1 Introduction Intensive competition in the commercial aviation industry is placing increasing pressure on aircraft manufacturers to reduce the time, cost and risk of product development. To compete effectively in today’s global marketplace, innovative approaches to reducing aircraft design-cycle times are needed. Computational simulation, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA), has the potential to compress design-cycle times due to the flexibility it provides for rapid and relatively inexpensive evaluation of alternative designs and because it can be used to integrate multidisciplinary analysis earlier in the design process [ 171.
