....the above ideas is in its early stages. Initially, the thrust has been to concentrate on document and program editors, and the tools capable of generating them. Independently of this effort, work has been continuing on browser technology and a programmable Napier object browser has been completed [4]. Some ideas for hyperlinking between objects in the persistent object store have also been prototyped. Once a suitable framework of such facilities has been constructed, this framework will be used in the investigation of research issues related to the kind of support which is helpful during the ....

The declaration sets model is based on a number of earlier systems: Napier88 Release 1. 0 [109] ABERDEEN [110]; and a previous version of the Napier88 programming environment [111] The operations on declaration sets are: create a new declaration set; delete a declaration set; add a value, location or type to a declaration set; display the contents of a declaration set; and . choose an ....

Linguistic reflection enhances support for prototyping by allowing interactive programming, data visualisation [22] and application generator tools [21] tools to be built. It also supports advanced software construction techniques such as hyper programming [23,30] and is useful for building applications that operate at the meta program or meta data level. It is clear that adding orthogonal persistence to ....

....on top of the integrated programming environment described here [Kir92] Browsing technology Advanced persistent object browsers [DCK90,FDK 92] have been developed using the technology described in this thesis. In particular, the ABERDEEN environment developed at the University of Adelaide [Far91] permits the browsing and tagging of persistent objects. Tagged objects may subsequently be incorporated into programs under construction. These tags are resolved during compilation providing another time at which program and data may be bound together. Run time Linguistic reflection The ....

....Type Representations into Denotations The system occasionally makes type information available to the programmer, requiring a conversion from a representation to a denotation. This may occur for 41 example when the programmer is manipulating language values with a tool such as a browser [DB88,Far91] or when type errors occur. With structural equivalence there are an infinite number of denotations for a given representation since the choice of identifiers for named types is arbitrary and they are not part of the type information. However, the identifiers used in a particular set of ....

....and variants as well as structures and vectors. The browser also supported partitioning of the display by means of self contained universes, an idea first proposed in the context of the refined PS algol browser described above. 4.2.5. 4 ABERDEEN The ABERDEEN system, developed by Farkas [Far91], supported interactive program development with compile time linking to persistent data items. The user specified the linking by attaching a tag identifier to the browser representation of the required data item and using that identifier in a source program. The system also allowed a structured ....

These are at program composition time, compilation time and runtime. 139 No other languages support composition time linking. Compilation time linking is available in the ABERDEEN programming environment [Far91]. It also occurs in the interactive languages ML [MTH89] Quest [Car89] and Galileo [ACO85] Several language systems support a distinct linking phase between compilation time and runtime, during which unresolved references to data and programs in the compiled program are established to give an ....

Introduction The development of persistent systems has sparked the emergence of a variety of new programming techniques and tools. In particular, persistent store browsers [4,7,8,14] have been developed which permit users to discover the types of values contained in a persistent store, and the structure of values with respect to each other. In systems such as the Aberdeen programming environment [8] for Napier88 [17] the browser enables a user to quickly locate and execute ....

In systems such as the Aberdeen programming environment [8] for Napier88 [17] the browser enables a user to quickly locate and execute programs in a persistent store without prior knowledge of the location of the data, programs or their interfaces. This is achieved by displaying graphical representations of the discovered values and their types. Using ....
