General talk about software patterns

[Messaging Design Pattern <dsheppard2k AT yahoo.com>]

Dear List members,

I'm pleased to inform you that the following paper has been accepted for publication in the 18th conference on Pattern Languages of Programs  (PloP 2011):


- Messaging Design Pattern and Live or Animated Objects

http://java.net/projects/jt/downloads/download/Papers/MDPAnimated.doc


I appreciate you earlier comments. Special thanks to  Geert Monsieur for his comments and recommendations for improvement as part of the PloP 2011 shepherding process.

Based on previous discussions, the paper also addresses the following aspects:


1) A more detailed discussion regarding the idea of a realistic software/information model. It expands and clarifies the associated concepts. The main goal is to make the material/presentation easier to grasp. The concept of Biomimetics is also employed:
"Biomimetics, also known as design by nature, is the examination of nature, its models,
systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from, in order to solve
human problems. The term Biomimetics comes from the Greek words bios, meaning life,
and mimesis, meaning to imitate."


2) Additional details related to Messaging implementation considerations and best practices including a discussion about synchronous and asynchronous messaging.

3) A Mathematical model based on the realistic information model and the messaging primitive. Turing-completeness of the proposed model is demonstrated. Please keep in mind, that this  Mathematical model is still work in progress. The main goal is to provide a solid (formal) Mathematical foundation for the proposed information/messaging Model and its messaging primitive.

Additional comments and/or suggestions are appreciated. As usual, please try to be as specific as possible in terms of you comments,  recommendations and questions.
 
Regards,

Al
