Free paradigm software for linux

The question-answer paradigm, or QAP, is a term used in psycho-linguistics to refer to a familiar mode of human discourse. The QAP is currently the subject of several lines of linguistics research.

QAParadigm application facilitates a common QAP experiment that involves display of a sentence, then a verbal question about the sentence.

Of special interest in QAP investigations is that the interpretation of a dialog may be influenced by changes that make no syntactic difference, such as a choice of a verb or intonation.

In one type of linguistics study using the QAP, a textual statement is displayed to a test subject, and a question is asked verbally, to detect a difference in interpretation.

The QAParadigm program is meant to facilitate such experiments, by reducing the fuss of organizing and executing them.

reads questions from a simple text file
can automatically randomize question-answer pairs
synchronizes displayed sentences with audio question files
logs the order in which question-answer pairs were presented
associates the subject’s personal data with the logged information

The program can be used in single-screen or multiple-screen modes.

Experiment description is in the form of simple Unicode-encoded text files. Any of the world’s writing systems can be used for the display, provided that supporting fonts are installed on the system.

The program has been tested and used in actual linguistics research projects.

ï¿1⁄2 This implies changing a line in every program using RIGEL.
ï¿1⁄2 The Parameters methods were completely rewritten such that name-based access to parameters works the same way for built-in and hash-stored entries.
ï¿1⁄2 A Delete method was added.
ï¿1⁄2 The starting seed is now properly initialised in test programs.

PyDBDesigner is a free relational database modeling tool that is planned to be able to design both logical and physical models similarly to Erwin(c) and PowerDesigner.

Its goal is to provide a useful toolset that allows developers analysts and database designers to design and develop databases from the verbal model to the schemas and SQL scripts.

There is no such a tool is available as a freeware. There is a project called DbDesigner, but it seems to be discontinued and its functionality is not enough for modeling (and the concept behind it seems to be weak).

The concept is to implement ER logical and physical modeling paradigm as correctly as possible, meanwhile creating a tool that is useful as soon as it is possible. So the development concept is that features are added rapidly, but carefully (trying to leave space to the features that come later).

For example, the "type" class is good enough to implement data domains, however, the code that actually creates domains using GUI is not implemented. The "type" attribute of the properties uses this object, so adding domains to attribute types is easy.

Privateer Gemini Gold is a remake of Wing Commander Privateer.
Back in 1993 Privateer was released as part of the Wing Commander series and became a great success in the gaming industry. Over 10 years later a small group of privateer enthusiasts reintroduce the game with a new graphic engine and real 3d spaceflight.
As Grayson Burrows you inherited a small old scout class ship from your grandfather, to start over as a Privateer in a new and sparsely populated sector of the Confederation. Take your chance and become a pirate, merchant or hunter upgrade your ship and experience the hard truth in a border sector where noone has anything to give away...
This project is different from Privateer Remake in that it focuses on recreating the original Privateer without additional fan created content, it however shares the source with Privateer Remake.

- Lynn Murphy mission: no mission payment
- Search for Mordichai Jones: Pirate doesnt deliver message
- cargo space calculation bug when using cargo expansion
- missing linux/ubuntu dependencies
- npcs are always hostile (linux)
- impossible rescue missions
- sound issues (linux)

Stratego/XT is a development environment for creating stand-alone transformation systems.
It combines Stratego, a language for implementing transformations based on the paradigm of programmable rewriting strategies, with XT, a collection of reusable components and tools for the development of transformation systems.
In general, Stratego/XT is intended for the analysis, manipulation, and generation of programs, though its features make it useful for transforming any structured documents.
In practice, it has been used to build many types of transformation systems including compilers, interpreters, static analyzers, domain-specific optimizers, code generators, source code refactorers, documentation generators, and document transformers.
Enhancements:
- The compiler was restructured.
- Some old language features were removed.
- Man pages for all tools were completed.
- A new introductory tutorial with examples was co-released, and more.

Marathon project is a testing framework for GUI applications developed using Java/Swing. Marathon composes of recorder, runner and editor. The testscripts are composed of python code.

Marathon focuses on end-user testing. One need not know Java or Swing to record test scripts using Marathon. Marthon is kept intentionally simple. The aim to produce test scripts that are readable by everyone on the project. This includes the developers, testers and the customers. Marathon is flexible and provides facilities to extend the functionality available through python scripts or through writing ones own component resolvers.

Marathon captures the semantic actions on components instead of the mouse & keyboard events. This results in scripts that are simple and at a higher granular level. Marathon suites well for applications that mostly depend on forms-paradigm.

php.MVC implements the Model-View-Controller design pattern, and encourages application design based on the Model 2 paradigm. This design model allows the Web page or other contents (View) to be mostly separated from the internal application code (Controller/Model), making it easier for designers and programmers to focus on their respective areas of expertise.
The framework provides a single entry point Controller. The Controller is responsible for allocating HTTP requests to the appropriate Action handler (Model) based on configuration mappings.
The Model contains the business logic for the application. The Controller then forwards the request to the appropriate View component, which is usually implemented using a combination of HTML with PHP tags in the form of templates. The resulting contents are returned to the client browser, or via another protocol such as SMTP.
php.MVC is a PHP port of Jakarta Struts. It currently supports many features of Struts, including declarative application configuration via the XML digester. For example, mappings from the various Action business logic components to appropriate results pages can be specified declaratively in the XML configuration file.
Main features:
- Free OpenSource software: This gives users full control of the software, and the able to modify the source code to suit specific needs.
- Security: php.MVC applications have only one entry point (per application). This makes it easy to protect sensitive application code and data.
- Flexible Installation: Individual php.MVC applications can be installed outside of the main php.MVC library directory tree.
- Multi-applications: There is no limit to the number of applications per php.MVC installation.
- Object Oriented design (OOD). The php.MVC framework is based on OOD principles, making it more extendable and maintainable.
- Database integration: The php.MVC framework ships with the Pear::DB Database Abstraction Layer, and a driver for the MySQL relational database manager (RDBM) is provided.
- Action Chaining: php.MVC allows for passing control to other Actions. This makes it easy to process a sequence of Actions (business logic classes) and static resources (pages).
- XML configuration: php.MVC uses declarative application configurations using Extensible Markup Language (XML) files. Each application has its own XML configuration file.
- MVC Model 2 design: php.MVC implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) Model 2 design pattern. The Model 2 paradigm allows the separation of the application presentation from the business logic, making it easier for designers and programmers to focus on their respective areas of expertise.
- Form button mapping: php.MVC implements the LookupDispatchAction class to enable HTML form buttons to be mapped to particular business logic methods. For example, a form submit button called "Add to Cart" could be mapped to an Action class method called MyCartAction->addToCart(...).
- Message Resources: php.MVC provides a PropertyMessageResources class that handles messages in text string properties files with parametric replacement. This can provide Locale-sensitive messages for internationalized applications.
- The php.MVC framework is based on Jakarta Struts application framework design. Struts has proven to be reliable, extendable and well supported.
Enhancements:
- This development release adds bugfixes and enhancements to the framework, a compressed performance version for use in more demanding hosting environments, and an example application to demonstrate the use of both versions.
