Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals
No full textConvenient, subject-based access to current periodicals can be difficult to achieve in today’s mixed and changing journals environment. This paper describes the creation of a web-accessible database of journals in business and economics, using Microsoft Access and ColdFusion. Bel Jour, the Business and Economics Locator for Journals at Rutgers, provides value-added descriptive information about a specific subject-based journal collection, along with convenient access to content from this collection. Although the actual journal collection is dispersed among many physical and online locations, Bel Jour provides a single, virtual point of access for researchers in the discipline.Published in print as Womack, Ryan. “Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals.” Information Technology and Libraries, Volume 21, Number 2, June 2002, pp. 81-86.Peer reviewe
A Denotational Semantics for SPARC TSO
No full textThe SPARC TSO weak memory model is defined axiomatically, with a
non-compositional formulation that makes modular reasoning about programs
difficult. Our denotational approach uses pomsets to provide a compositional
semantics capturing exactly the behaviours permitted by SPARC TSO. It uses
buffered states and an inductive definition of execution to assign an
input-output meaning to pomsets. We show that our denotational account is sound
and complete relative to the axiomatic account, that is, that it captures
exactly the behaviours permitted by the axiomatic account. Our compositional
approach facilitates the study of SPARC TSO and supports modular analysis of
program behaviour
