Download or read book ECOOP Object Oriented Programming written by Erik Ernst and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-07-27 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The21stEuropeanConferenceonObject-OrientedProgramming,ECOOP2007, was held in Berlin, Germany, on July 30 to August 3, 2007. ECOOP is the most importantand inspiring forumin Europeandbeyond for researchers,practiti- ers, and students working in that smorgasbord of topics and approaches known as object orientation. This topic area was explored and challenged by excellent invited speakers—two of which were the winners of this year’s Dahl-Nygaard award—in the carefully refereed and selected technical papers, on posters, via demonstrations, and in tutorials. Each of the many workshops complemented this with a very interactive and dynamic treatment of more speci?c topics. - nally, panels allowed for loud and lively disagreement. Yet, it is one of ECOOP’s specialqualities that this plethora ofactivities add upto a coherentandexciting whole, rather than deteriorating into chaos. The Program Committee received 161 submissions this year. Only 135 of them were carried through the full review process, because of a number of - tractions and a number of submissions of abstracts that were never followed by a full paper. However, the remaining papers were of very high quality and we accepted25 of them for publication. Helping very goodpapers to be published is more useful than having an impressively low acceptance rate. The papers were selected according to four groups of criteria, whose priority depended on the paper: relevance; originality and signi?cance; precisionand correctness;and p- sentation and clarity. Each paper had three, four, or ?ve reviews, depending on how controversial it was.

Download or read book Valley of Shadows written by Rudy Ruiz and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Jesse H. Jones Award for Best Book of Fiction A visionary neo-Western blend of magical realism, mystery, and horror, Valley of Shadows sheds light on the dark past of injustice, isolation, and suffering along the US-Mexico border. Solitario Cisneros thought his life was over long ago. He lost his wife, his family, even his country in the late 1870s when the Rio Grande shifted course, stranding the Mexican town of Olvido on the Texas side of the border. He’d made his brooding peace with retiring his gun and badge, hiding out on his ranch, and communing with horses and ghosts. But when a gruesome string of murders and kidnappings ravages the town, pushing its volatile mix of Anglo, Mexican, and Apache settlers to the brink of self-destruction, he feels reluctantly compelled to confront both life, and the much more likely possibility of death, yet again. As Solitario struggles to overcome not only the evil forces that threaten the town but also his own inner demons, he finds an unlikely source of inspiration and support in Onawa, a gifted and enchanting Apache-Mexican seer who champions his cause, daring him to open his heart and question his destiny. As we follow Solitario and Onawa into the desert, we join them in facing haunting questions about the human condition that are as relevant today as they were back then: Can we rewrite our own history and shape our own future? What does it mean to belong to a place, or for a place to belong to a people? And, as lonely and defeated as we might feel, are we ever truly alone? Through luminous prose and soul-searching reflections, Rudy Ruiz transports readers to a distant time and a remote place where the immortal forces of good and evil dance amidst the shadows of magic and mountains.

Book excerpt: Cynthia West says, "Poems form a path, with places to rest from the grief that rides the shoulders with the claws of a hawk. It takes strong legs to carry the sorrow of all who ask. It takes a clear mind to bear the voices. It takes the balance of a tightrope walker not to trip on the pain. The flowers, upholding petals and seeds, understand the burden a yoke can be. Sensing their transience, they announce, 'Poems build the road forward, providing hollows where gladness can grow.'" Known for her visionary paintings, Cynthia is also a poet, photographer, digital imager, potter and book artist. Her home with many gardens, where she has lived for forty years with her husband and family, is a healing center as well as her studio and gallery. Her works are collected worldwide. west is the author of four previous collections of poetry, "For Beauty Way," "1000 Stone Buddhas," "Rainbringer," and "The New Sun," the last two from Sunstone Press.

Download or read book Glorious Visions written by Helene Furján and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the house and museum and its considerable collections of architectural fragments, models, drawings folios and publications, this book is about thirteen Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London, England, built in the early 1800s by the renowned eighteenth-century architect Sir John Soane. The book maps the influences, references, connections, extensions, and productions at play in Soane’s house-museum. The house, still a public museum, was highly original in its period, and it continues to influence and impress architects and historians alike. Today’s visitor is confronted by a dense, complex series of spaces, a strange accumulation of rooms, objects and effects. This book examines the ways in which Soane enlisted light, shadow, color, fiction and narrative, vistas, spatial complexity, the fragment, and the mirror to produce a spectacular space.
