Distributed Monte Carlo Integration Using Corba and Java

The object-oriented middleware standard, CORBA, is a very useful platform for distributed computing, and in particular for sharing a workload among a collection of possibly polymorphic computers. CORBA has, however, received relatively little attention from the scientific computing community. In this article we demonstrate how CORBA and Java can be used to implement a distributed multi-dimensional Monte Carlo integration algorithm which runs on the internet.

C++ Programming with Applications in Administration, Finance and Statistics: (Includes the Standard Template Library)

p>Object-oriented programming has been the most dramatic innovation in software development in the last decade. It offers a powerful way to cope with the complexity of programs. C++ is by far the most popular object-oriented language.This book gives a complete introduction to C++ and object-oriented programming. Additionally, it provides a large collection of C++ programs which are useful in finance, administration and statistics. The book contains more than 20 fully developed classes and more than 200 ready-to-run programs. The Standard Template Library is also included.

GENETIC ALGORITHMS AND OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Genetic algorithms were invented to mimic some of the processes observed in natural evolution. We give a survey on this research field. In particular problems with constraints are studied. Furthermore, problems from statistical mechanics are discussed. An implementation using object-oriented programming is given.
