Subject: ConceptBase 6.1 (metadatabase system) released

Dear all,

the deductive object manager ConceptBase 6.1 has been released
free-of-charge for non-commercial usage! No time to
read text below? Then directly download the software from
http://www-i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/CBdoc/

=======================================================================

ConceptBase is a system for meta modeling based on a deductive object manager.
ConceptBase has been in use since 1988 and is being distributed since about
1990. In the last two years the ConceptBase Team worked to add more
functionality, to support more platforms, and to make it perform faster. As a
result, ConceptBase now

  * runs on multiple platforms including Windows XP/2000, Linux (i386), and Solaris
    (Sparc and i386); you can take the system on your laptop or install it on a
    powerful server;

  * includes a Java-based graph editor whose node and link types can be freely
    configured; the graph editor can also be used to update the object base;

  * evaluates queries between 3 and 20 times faster depending on the type of
    query; recursive queries can enjoy an even more dramatic speed-up; besides
    the increased performance, the query engine now supports dynamic
    stratification;

  * provides access protection for object base modules; you can use the system in
    a multi-user environment and assign users to their individual workspaces;
    this feauture is useful for teaching scenarios but also in cases you manage
    multiple application with ConceptBase as a shared data repository; access
    protection policies are user-definable as query classes.

Besides these improvements, we have corrected dozens of errors, enhanced the
compiler for meta-class-level logical formulas, and increased the flexibility of
queries as parameters of other queries. We are convinced that ConceptBase is
useful for

  * meta modeling, in particular the design of new modeling languages

  * advanced application design, in particular when the relational data model is
    too inflexible

  * serving as model repository for managing multiple interrelated models

  * analyzing large models by means of queries

For more details on the capabilities, see our introductory site at
http://conceptbase.cc

The unique advantage of ConceptBase over similar systems is the extreme
simplicity of its underlying O-Telos data model. O-Telos uses a single data
structure called P-objects for all factual information (objects, attributes,
classes, meta classes, specializations, instantiations) and provides virtually
unlimited flexibility by its Datalog-based rule language. Rules, constraints and
queries can range over any type of object, be it an instance, a class, a meta
class, a meta meta class and so forth. The combination of the uniform data model
with the logical language allows to capture the semantics of link types such as
transitivity, reflexivity etc. by user-defined formulas. Even the semantics of
modeling language constructs, e.g. the concept of cardinality in entity-
relationship diagrams or the key property of the relational data model, can be
captured in ConceptBase.

ConceptBase has been developed at the Technical University of Aachen (Informatik V,
Prof. Dr. M. Jarke) in Germany, in co-operation with the University of
Tilburg (CRISM/Infolab, Dr. M. Jeusfeld) in The Netherlands. The system is free-
of- charge for non-commercial usage. Release 6.1.2 can now be downloaded via

            http://www-i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/CBdoc/

See instructions there on how to register a ConceptBase installation. Registered
users can obtain access to the CB-Forum featuring additional software (e.g.
preview releases of forthcoming ConceptBase versions), an extensive how-to
section and a discussion section.

We hope that this new release is useful for the scientific community!

Kind greetings!

Aachen and Tilburg, December 2004

represented by
Matthias Jarke, Manfred Jeusfeld, Christoph Quix

PS: Thanks go to all who have contributed to the realization of ConceptBase. We
particularily thank the designers of Telos (John Mylopoulos, Alex Borgida,
Manolis Koubarakis, Sol Greenspan, and others) and the numerous colleagues who
worked on extensions of the system. We can't name them all here. Special thanks
go to Martin Staudt who has been heading the ConceptBase team for several years
and who initiated many of the now-realized functions. Rainer Gallersdörfer and
Thomas List did a tremendous job in implementing the dedicated object store.
Rene Soiron realized the meta formula compiler and the cost-based query
optimizer. Finally, Hans Nissen introduced the module sub-system which proves to
be an increasingly useful tool for managing large object bases.

Subject: [LOCAL]: CarrefourBLinuX, 4th Anniversary!


This information may concern anybody who read/talks in French, and anybody 
who is interested or is himself visually impaired:

did you heard about a French-speaking Blinux discussion list?
Well, if the name "Carrefour BLinuX" doesn't sounds familiar to you, 
then you have to know that this is the name of the French-speaking 
Blinux list, now since a few month hosted by FreeArchive.org
(previously on Yahoogroupes).

Today, Nov. the 28th 2004, we exist exactly four years.
We have started this forum to help people with a vision impairment 
discovering Gnu/Linux;
lots of problems around braille and speech support, or around 
accessibility etc, are discussed every day, in French.

If you think this may be easier for you to participate, then feel free to 
join us; read more here:
http://lists.freearchive.org/mailman/listinfo/carrefourblinux

FreeArchive does also hosts a Dutch-speaking Blinux list, called 
BLinuXForum; more info at:

Subject: WPKG - automated software deployment, upgrade and removal script
Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 08:40:23 CST

Hello everyone,

WPKG is an automated software deployment, upgrade and removal script for 
Windows.

It can be used to push/pull software packages, such as Service Packs, 
hotfixes, or program installations from a central server (for example, 
Samba) to a number of workstations.

It can run as a service to install software in the background, without 
user interaction.

It can install MSI, InstallShield, PackagefortheWeb etc. packages, and 
all other packages using repackaging or AutoIt.


For details, see:

http://wpkg.sourceforge.net/
http://wpkg.sourceforge.net/faq.html


So, what exactly can you do with this tool?

Well, lots of things.
Considering you are running Samba on Linux, *BSD, Unix or any other 
Unix-like system, you might have noticed that Windows-administraton 
things like Active Directory, Group Policies / GPO / Group Policy 
Objects, RIS, SUS, IntelliMirror, SMS etc. are not available on these 
platforms.
Software installation / upgrade, or distributing / deploying software to 
many Windows clients can become painful without some of these Windows-tools.

WPKG can help with that.
Once it's installed on the clients, and its configuration is kept on a 
central fileserver (like Samba), you can easily deploy software / 
packages / changes etc. to many Windows clients - without the need of 
doing this manually, that is going from one workstation to another. You 
just configure the software which should be installed on a given machine 
or a group of machines - and next time these Windows workstations are 
booted, the software you specified is installed automatically.

Cpses id an OpenGL 3d scene editor. Import your .3ds and .dff models
and build your 3d scene by positioning, rotating and scaling each of them.
A simple camera is provided through mouse to move the entire scene.
The scene is saved as CSV ascii format.

This is the changelog of release 0.4:
        - Cpsed window has a nice toolbar with pretty icons.
        - It is possible to choose the insert point of the models when just
loaded instead
          of the default position (0,0,0), to ease the model's positioning
into the scene
          when it becomes bigger and bigger.
        - Undo/Redo ability.
        - Camera position is saved with the scene and restored when the
scene is loaded.
        - Cpsed now allows to set a default camera viewpoint.
        - When a model is deleted its name and id appear in the status bar.
        - Ability to change the model's loading path before saving the
scene.
        - The name of the current scene appears in the window title bar.

Subject: LessTif Release 0.94.0 is out
Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 08:42:26 CST

The LessTif Core Team is pleased to announce
      Release 0.94.0
of the LessTif library!

This major release contains both of the recent XPM security bugs,
a number of memory leak fixes, and a couple of other bugfixes.

About LessTif:
LessTif is a "free" (LGPL'd) implementation of the OSF/Motif standard
GUI toolkit for X11. LessTif aims to be source compatible with the Motif 
(a product of The OpenGroup) versions 1.2 and 2.1.

Nearly all Motif apps compile and work out of the box with LessTif!

Some run-time problems however may still exist. The LessTif Core team is 
interested in hearing about Motif applications which don't work with LessTif.
Bug reports are welcome - patches are even more welcome!

More information, source code, and binaries for several platforms
are available at:

        http://lesstif.sf.net
