ThinkCollabs

Sourceforge Project and SVN

Nico — 2008-06-06T22:54:08Z

ThinkCollabs has its own sourceforge project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinkcollabs/ . It allows us to share code for our projects using Subversion. You can get subversion at Subversion project page. To get the source code for one of these projects, use:

svn co https://thinkcollabs.svn.sourceforg... project_name

where project_name is the name of one project which has its own sourceforge repository (currently: collaborativemodeling or flyamouse).

To get the source code for all ThinkCollabs projects, use:

svn co https://thinkcollabs.svn.sourceforg... thinkcollabs

The first draft version of CollaborativeModeling has been released. Please check it out! For now, it doesn't do much, but with your help...

FLIC: Application to Caching of a Dynamic Dependency Analysis for a 3D Oriented CRS,

Gurvan Le Guernic and Julien Perret (2007),
In Proceedings of the Eighth International Workshop on Rule-Based Programming (RULE 2007).

Abstract: FL-systems are conditional rewriting systems. They are used for programming (describing) and evaluating (generating) huge 3D virtual environments, such as cities and forests. This paper presents a formal semantics and a dynamic dependency analysis for FL-systems. This analysis allows the characterization of a set of axioms which are joinable with the currently rewritten axiom. Consequently, it is possible to speed up the rewriting steps of the environments generation by using a cache mechanism which is smarter than standard ones. This work can be seen as a dynamic completion of a set of rewriting rules. This completion increases the number of axioms which are rewritten under normal form by the application of a single rewriting rule.

Romain Thomas is a nice guy with a strong experience in industry. His research interest include spatial syntax, cognition and the human memory. He mainly focuses on interdisciplinary research. He works too.

He also loves life, women, whisky and poker.

Gurvan's short biography

In October 2002, Gurvan started a joint PhD degree in Computer Science between University of Rennes 1 (France) and Kansas State University (USA). He defended his thesis on confidentiality monitoring in 2007. He is now a PostDoc at the INRIA-Microsoft Research Joint Centre. Gurvan's research focuses on program analyses, more precisely on dynamic and static analyses of noninterference (a dependency property subsuming confidentiality).
