  Modeling Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction
Obrenovic Z., Starcevic D. Computer 37(9): 65-72, 2004.  Type: Article

Obrenovic and Starcevic make two interesting points in this paper: that the unified modeling language (UML) is indeed flexible, and can be readily extended to new areas of computer applications, and that UML can be applied to the model...

  Implementing the essence of reflection: a reflective run-time environment
Ancona M., Cazzola W.  Applied computing (Proceedings of the 2004 ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, Nicosia, Cyprus, Mar 14-17, 2004) 1503-1507, 2004.  Type: Proceedings

Reflection has been defined as computation performed on self. The authors complain that “it has never penetrated at a level adequate for its capabilities.” They propose correcting this by defining a minimal set of s...
