Dr. Andreas Franz Borchert

My main research area is library design for OO programming languages. The key point is that libraries should be considered as language extensions. This allows programming languages to be designed as a kernel which exports some basic abstractions and mechanisms. An example for such a kernel language is Oberon which is extended by our research project (Ulm's Oberon System) to cover all fundamental areas which are usually implemented by OO-languages instead of libraries (e.g. concurrency, synchronisation, persistence and support of distributed systems).

How to contact me

• E-Mail:
  
  Please do not send documents in one of the Microsoft Word formats as I am unable to process them. Use PostScript or PDF instead. DVI and TeX sources are welcome. GPG-encrypted emails are welcome.

  Messages without plain text or without subject will be deleted unread.
  Unsolicited commercial e-mails and spams are not welcome!

• Except for short amounts of time for sleeping and eating I'm nearly always online. For getting a very fast response you should give my personal daemon a try. Just wait for the connection to be opened, enter your name (your first name or initials), and then try some commands (e.g. ``help'', ``who'') and send a beep (type CTRL-g, followed by RETURN) to get my attention. Martin Hasch has contributed an introduction to this system.
