Emulation of an unconventional model of computation in Java
Abstract
This paper describes the emulation of an unconventional model of computation inspired by the field of optical computing. Our development employed a combination of eXtreme Programming, unit and integration testing with junit, and design patterns. In the final product we implemented a novel content-routing message passing system and have realised the first debugger for an optical computer programming language.

Less-Java, more learning: language design for introductory programming
We present Less-Java, a new procedural programming language with a simple and concise syntax, implicit but strong typing via type inference, and built-in unit testing. These features make programming in Less-Java more intuitive for novice programmers ...
Roving Emulation as a Fault Detection Mechanism
In this paper we present a new built-in test methodology for detecting and locating faults in digital systems. The technique is called roving emulation and consists of an off-line snap shot type emulation or simulation of operating components in a ...
