....simple process. A task oriented solution The domain knowledge acquired from research and field studies within the medical sector has been incorporated into the Medical Style Guide developed within the Helios project. This style guide acts as an extension to the OSF Motif Style Guide [4]. In some aspects it may contain restrictions on OSF Motif Style Guide, but mostly it contains supplementary high level information, i.e. domain specific knowledge. The Medical Style Guide is a dynamic and continuously updated document. 4 The Medical Style Guide is divided into five major parts: ....

....only the pattern of probable errors which actually changes. Our work therefore adopted an approach that would develop an analysis technique that could be used on the major languages used for safety critical system development. In order to do this the Architecture Neutral Distribution Format (ANDF) [OSF91] was chosen as our basis for analysis. An advantage of using this format is that the ANDF specification is in the public domain [Andf99] and hence does not tie our approach to a proprietary notation. The ANDF concept was originally defined by the Open Software Foundation as a technique for ....

[10]) This solution is based on the strategy of minimising the distance between the unknown locus of the primary attention focus (PAF) of the user and the locus of the message on the screen. Some open questions are: What is an optimal screen layout (e.g. picture versus text ) Where is the best ....

Practical implementations reflecting some results of the theory 7 have been implemented in security architectures of some distributed environments [38, 47, 50, 51, 57] However, fine grain control of application resources, except when those resources are stored in a consolidated database, is done traditionally in ad hoc manner [65] and there are no automated means to ensure enterprise wide consistency of such controls. Generally speaking, current ....

To simplify the use and understanding of these different kinds of objects we worked out a relationship between the new CoDesk objects and the traditional desktop objects in graphic interfaces such as the Macintosh (Apple 1992) and Motif (OSF 1989). This means in our CoDesk system that the syntax and semantics of how to perform direct manipulative operations on CoDesk objects could be predicted by the normal behaviour of single user graphic interface objects: Users represent (informal) knowledge and competence, just as documents ....

....difficulties of building distributed systems suchassynchronisation and independent failure of components are left in RPC programming. Many leading computer companies have agreed on a vendor neutral distributed computing environment (DCE) architecture proposed by the Open Software Foundation [9]. This architecture is designed under the client server model, and requires the interactions between its components to follow the RPC paradigm. Although the DCE architecture helps reduce the heterogeneity of server access protocols and provides a limited fault tolerant support in the service ....

A prototype implementation demonstrating some of our ideas and concepts as was shown at CASCON 96. The prototype platform was OSF DCE [37] which was chosen because of its availability and our past experience with it. Section 3.1 describes the management applications that made use of the management services. Our management agent is described in Section 3.2. Section 3.3 describes our use of instrumented processes to implement aspects ....

....with the local environment in arbitrary ways. However, the current dominant paradigm for distributed computing, RPC, inhibits such free form interaction. RPC requires static knowledge of a service and its interface. It is impossible, using present RPC implementations such as DCE or Sun RPC [36, 49], to discover and use new services unless they conform exactly to the interfaces expected by the client. A user desiring the use of a newly discovered service has no alternative but to roll up his or her shirtsleeves and start coding. We propose a new standard to define a fundamental level of ....

The CDVE prompts the user for general information about the distributed application such as the application name, the top level directory of the application code files, the type of middleware used (we currently handle DCE [18] and Corba [17] applications) and information about each executable associated with the distributed application. It uses this information to extract the metadata from the application files and generates instances of Application, Cluster, Capsule, BasicEngineeringObject, and Interface objects. The ....
