Internet addresses

The Internet is increasingly becoming a rich source for a variety of information. Below, a number of addresses are given, from which to obtain programs, software libraries or technical papers. These addresses are partly taken from [Locke].

Email

ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com -- subject: help
netlib@research.att.com -- send index
omg@omg.org -- OMG

slide: Internet -- email facilities

For those who have only an email facility at their disposal, software may be obtained by sending email to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (put help in the subject field) or ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (write send index in the message body). Information concerning the activities of the OMG may be obtained by sending email to omg@omg.org. See slide in-email.

Newsgroups

slide: Internet -- newsgroups

Another valuable source of information and programs are the Internet newsgroups {\tt comp.lang.c++}, {\tt comp.lang.eiffel}, {\tt comp.lang.smalltalk} and {\tt comp.databases.object}. See slide in-news.

Ftp sites

\zline{\fbox{ftp}}

slide: Internet -- ftp sites

For those that may use ftp, source code posted to either one of the newsgroups may be obtained by anonymous ftp from ftp.uu.net. Other valuable ftp sites are those mentioned in sections pde and libraries, among which research.att.com, sunsite.unc.edu and iamsun.unibe.ch. See slide in-ftp.

Tcl/Tk

\zline{\fbox{ftp}}

ftp://sprite.berkeley.edu -- Tcl/Tk
ftp://harbor.ecn.purdue.edu -- Tcl/Tk contributions

Concurrent extensions of C++

ftp://actor.cs.vt.edu:/pub/act++ -- ACT++
ftp://plg.uwaterloo.ca:/pub/uSystem -- %m{}C++
ftp://cs.caltech.edu:/comp/CC++ -- Compositional C++
ftp://uvacs.cs.virginia.edu:/pub/mentat -- Mentat/C++

slide: Internet -- miscellaneous

Further, two sites are listed from which Tcl/Tk and contributed software may be obtained, as well as the addresses from which to obtain the concurrent extensions to C++ discussed in section extensions. See slide in-misc.

Research papers and standards

\zline{\fbox{ftp}}

ftp://ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk:pub/bcp -- fomega
ftp://cui.unige.ch:OO-articles -- active objects
ftp://omg.org -- OMG

slide: Internet -- documentation

A valuable collection of research papers may be obtained from ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk:pub/bcp, among which is an introductory paper on type theoretical aspects of OOP which comes with a collection of exercises and an accompanying tool fomega. Other research papers may be found at cui.unige.ch:OO-articles. Also available via anonymous ftp are the writings of the OMG, which may be collected at omg.org. See slide in-doc.

World Wide Web

Apart from email, news and ftp, you may access the Internet by means of dedicated information retrieval programs, such as the Mosaic browser for the World Wide Web. See [WWW].

World Wide Web

WWW

ftp:ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mosaic} -- Mosiac browser
ftp:info.cern.ch:/pub/www/doc -- WWW documentation

Resources

cui_www.unige.ch/OSG/OOinfo/ -- OOP
info.desy.de/user/projects/ -- C++
hepunx.rl.ac.uk/atlas/oo/ -- Atlas
www.osf.org:8001/ -- OSF DCE
www.sco.com/IXI/of_interest/tcl/Tcl.html -- Tcl/Tk

slide: Internet -- World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is an initiative from CERN (the European Library for Particle Physics, Switzerland), intended to make a variety of material available in a common hypermedia format (HTML, see section hypermedia-model). The Mosaic browser provides a graphical interface to the World Wide Web. It is available for X-windows, MS-windows and the Macintosh by anonymous ftp from {\tt ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu:/Mosaic}, where you can also find documentation. More information concerning the World Wide Web initiative may be obtained from {\tt info.cern.ch:/pub/www/doc}. The addresses listed in slide in-web are HTML information resource identifiers, which provide you with a starting point for a journey in cyberspace documents on OOP.
