<div class="article_content" >
We just got the news that our paper entitled "A Theory of Aspects" was accepted for the technical track at ooPSLA'08! This paper resulted from a close collaboration between Pierre Baldi and myself, through work done mostly by Erik Linstead, with Sushil doing a piece of the validation. The work is being supported by a grant from the NSF. Here's a bit of history behind this paper. … <span class="wikilink"><a href="/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ATheoryOfAspects">continue reading</a></span><p class="paragraph"/></div>

11 months into the exploration of the virtual world Second Life, I am now diving head-first into experiments with <span class="wikiexternallink"><a href="http://opensimulator.org">OpenSim</a></span>. My attraction to SL in particular, in contrast to my relative indifference to MMORPGs in general, was its potential to become more like the web; to mature and become a platform for business and life in general. I wanted to run my own 3D content on my … <span class="wikilink"><a href="/xwiki/bin/view/Main/OpenSim">continue reading</a></span><p class="paragraph"/></div>

We've been using <span class="wikiexternallink"><a href="http://xwiki.org">XWiki</a></span> for this site almost since XWiki came out, 3 years ago. Sushil decided it was the best wiki engine for us. Recently, when doing the <span class="wikiexternallink"><a href="http://mondego.calit2.uci.edu:7000/xwiki/bin/view/Main/">CalSWIM wiki</a></span>, Yasser came to the same conclusion. Yasser has been setting that wiki up since October, and has done wonderful extensions to it.
