Communication Messengers as a Basis for Distributed Algorithms
The messenger paradigm is one of the earliest models which propose the exchange of code to implement computer communication. Code becomes mobile and mobile code is now considered a promising alternative for the implementation of distributed applications. One application of mobile code is in the implementation of software agents which themselves are used to implement complex…

Generating Hypertext Views on Databases
This paper presents a language and a system to construct a hypertextual view (a hyperview) of the content of a database. We first study different approaches to map database objects to hypertext components: tuple level mapping, tuple sets mapping, and associated tuples mapping. Then we present a declarative hyperview definition language which integrates these approaches. With this…

Distributed Services in a Messenger Environment
Mobile code is more and more accepted as a promising alternative for structuring distributed applications. The messenger paradigm is the approach to mobile code used in this paper. Messengers are threads of control that can move in a network of messenger platforms to search for resources and information they need to accomplish their task. They are expressed in the MØ messenger…

Access Consistency Memory Model for Messengers
The messenger paradigm is an alternative to computer communication based on the exchange of programs called messengers which are afterwards executed, instead of messages that are interpreted. The communication by messenger paradigm can be used to implement both low level software such as communication protocols and high level software such as distributed applications. Using the…

Formalization of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The Special Case of Category Theory
This working paper lists some ideas on how to apply category theory to agents, and multi-agent systems. It focuses more on the distributivity and compositionality of agents, as well as on the emergence of sociality and properties, than on the intelligence or on the ability of agents to reason. It presents some categorical notions, and explains informally how they can be connected…

Migration of legacy applications to a CORBA platform: a case study
An important problem that many large organizations face today concerns the support and evolution of their large (legacy) information systems. In this paper we present an approach for migrating large and interdependent legacy information systems to CORBA based platforms. Our approach allows continuous availability of the information systems, minimal manpower for the implementation and…

Discriminatory versus uniform Treasury auctions: Evidence from when-issued transactions
We use wehn-issued transactions data to assess the Treasury's current experiment with uniform auctions, suggesting a higher information release, which should reduce pre-auction uncertainty and the winner's curse. Under uniform auctions, wehn-issued volatility falls after the auction and again after the outcome announcement. The pattern is the opposite for discriminatory…

A Comparison of US, UK, and German Insolvency Codes
This paper describes three insolvency codes, those of the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, and the United States (US) and compares their efficiency against a number of benchmarks. These codes have been chosen because they cover a broad spectrum of debtor- and creditor-oriented insolvency procedures. The paper also compares the plans of distressed firms' reorganizations both within…

Contexts and Composite Objects
Many applications require the capability to define and manipulate a collection of related objects as a single unit. Object-oriented database models and systems usually provide the concept of composite object for that purpose. The concept of context that we propose here provides another, more general, way to view and manipulate collections of objects. We compare the two concepts both…

Evolution Features of the F2 OODBMS
Features specially devoted to schema evolution in the F2 object-oriented database system are presented in this paper. They include a meta-circular and reflective model where primitive operations (create, update, delete) on schema objects form a complete taxonomy of schema changes. All the schema objects of a database are updatable and the consequences of these changes on objects are…

The Messenger paradigm and its implications on distributed systems
Most distributed systems are built on top of a message exchange infrastructure. Processes coordinate their execution by exchanging messages which are interpreted according to a pre-established set of protocols. We present in this paper a novel way of communicating which does not require the preconfiguration of protocol entities. The host initiating the communication has the ability…
