AspectKE* also provides a novel variable binding mechanism for pointcuts, so that pointcuts can uniformly specify join points based on both static and dynamic information about the program. Our implementation strategy performs fundamental static analysis at load-time, so as to retain runtime overheads minimal.

One-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations reveal a radial wind structure consisting of highly compressed shells separated by voids, and colliding with fast clouds. Two-dimensional simulations are still largely missing, despite first attempts. Clumpiness dramatically affects the radiative transfer and thus all wind diagnostics in the UV, optical, and in X-rays. The microturbulence approximation applied hitherto is currently superseded by a more sophisticated radiative transfer in stochastic media. Besides clumps, i.e. jumps in the density stratification, so-called kinks in the velocity law, i.e. jumps in dv/dr, play an eminent role in hot star winds. Kinks are a new type of radiative-acoustic shock, and propagate at super-Abbottic speed.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Fernando2008, author = {Fernando, Tim}, title = {Temporal propositions as regular languages}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-27194}, year = {2008}, abstract = {Temporal propositions are mapped to sets of strings that witness (in a precise sense) the propositions over discrete linear Kripke frames.

The disparate measurements can be reconciled if the winds of O-type stars are strongly clumped on small spatial scales, which in turn implies that mass-loss rates based on Hα or radio emission are too large by up to an order of magnitude.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GebserHinrichsSchaubetal.2010, author = {Gebser, Martin and Hinrichs, Henrik and Schaub, Torsten H. and Thiele, Sven}, title = {xpanda: a (simple) preprocessor for adding multi-valued propositions to ASP}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-41466}, year = {2010}, abstract = {We introduce a simple approach extending the input language of Answer Set Programming (ASP) systems by multi-valued propositions.

There exist some proposals for automatic transformation of list programs into differencelist programs. However, we are interested in construction of difference-list programs by the programmer, avoiding the need of a transformation step. In [GG09] it was demonstrated, how left-recursive procedures with a dangling call of append/3 can be transformed into right-recursion using the unfolding technique. For simplification of writing difference-list programs using a new cons/2 procedure was introduced. In the present paper, we investigate how efficieny is influenced using cons/2. We measure the efficiency of procedures using accumulator technique, cons/2, DCG's, and difference lists and compute the resulting speedup in respect to the simple procedure definition using append/3. Four Prolog systems were investigated and we found different behaviour concerning the speedup by difference lists. A result of our investigations is, that an often advice given in the literature for avoiding calls append/3 could not be confirmed in this strong formulation.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GeskeWolf2010, author = {Geske, Ulrich and Wolf, Armin}, title = {Preface}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-41401}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The workshops on (constraint) logic programming (WLP) are the annual meeting of the Society of Logic Programming (GLP e.V.) and bring together researchers interested in logic programming, constraint programming, and related areas like databases, artificial intelligence and operations research.
