General talk about software patterns

[phillip henry <ph1ll1phenry AT yahoo.com>]

Al, 

I notice in one of your references (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-designpattern/) you are described as having been a "Computer Science Professor". 

I googled but could not find to which institute you belong. Could you please clarify?

Regards,

Phillip

Al,

In the references you still claim that you have publications in the proceedings of several PLoP conferences. This is not true and already has been brought to your attention quite a few times. I suggest that you take that serious and remove the references, everything else is far from professional and not acceptible.


Kind regards,
Christian Köppe

Onderwerp: [patterns-discussion] Concepts and a Realistic Information Model

Dear List members,


I hope you are all doing well. Please find enclosed a link to a draft discussing
Concepts and a Realistic Information Model:

https://sites.google.com/site/concept12345678/concept/Concepts.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1

A compilation of papers can be found at

http://sites.google.com/site/concept12345678/concept/Realistic.doc?attredirects=0&d=1

The draft includes several new sections and revisions based on the feedback that I have received:


- Model evaluation and Metrics (includes references to
empirical studies)
- References (revised)
- Mathematical Model

By the way, I found a couple of references that seemed interesting (better late
than never):

“We can note in passing that one of the biggest problems in the development of
object-oriented SW architectures, particularly in the last 25 years, has been an
enormous over-focus on objects and an under-focus on messaging (most so-called
object-oriented languages don’t really use the looser coupling of messaging, but
instead use the much tighter gear meshing of procedure calls – this hurts scalability
and interoperability).” Alan Kay et al.

Tighter gear meshing of procedure calls has also been characterized as “The complex machinery of procedure declarations” while discussing problems associated with traditional APIs [26].   

I've been receiving good feedback on the overall effort:

"The [Conceptual] approach is very interesting, relevant, and can be applied
to several different CS topic areas/courses."

"Applying Biomathematics and Philosophy to software engineering models and programming languages is a novel concept."

"The goal of finding new uniform bases for computing is laudable ..."

I'm also working on a book publication. The publisher has asked me to
provide a list of potential reviewers for a book proposal.

The scope of the effort is limited to one-page questionnaire regarding
the proposal.  If you are interested in participating,  please contact me via email.
I'd really appreciate it .

As usual, please keep making your questions/comments as specific as possible. This allows me to send appropriate  responses. Feel free to quote specific sections
of the draft.

Best regards,

Al
