Concepts (15)

  • James CoplienAuthor of 'Space: The Final Frontier' essay that crystallized concepts of runtime architecture for the author.
  • Robin MilnerOriginator of Process Algebra and the term 'Information Dynamics'; influential in shifting focus from syntax-driven semantics to autonomous study of informatic structures.
  • BackplaneCore meta-construct and stable component that manages application lifecycle, initialization, and provides standard interfaces for system development.
  • CORBASystem architecture pattern whose interface repository construct inspired the Interface Repository pattern in this work.
  • Interface RepositoryFacility that maps symbolic names to public interfaces, enabling dynamic functionality extension without modifying the backplane.
  • JavaProgramming language used to implement the pattern language constructs, selected for late binding and dynamic class loading capabilities.
  • Bjorklund's AlgorithmAlgorithm developed for timing systems in neutron accelerators; generates binary sequences where pulses are distributed as evenly as possible among intervals.
  • Euclidean AlgorithmAncient algorithm from Euclid's Elements (circa 300 B.C.) that computes greatest common divisor; shown to structurally parallel Bjorklund's rhythm generation algorithm.
  • Gamma et al. (Gang of Four)Authors of the book 'Design Patterns'; the Memento pattern is directly referenced for view creation.
  • Geometry of InteractionDynamic model connecting logic to geometry through explicit treatment of information flow and interaction; demonstrates emergent logical complexity from simple copy-cat processes.
  • Memento PatternGoF design pattern used for passing application-specific arguments during view creation, akin to snapshot state.
  • Bootstrap Application
  • Doug Lea
  • MVC (Model-View-Controller)
  • Standard Application
