Phillip, Yes I was. Per my earlier emails let's focus on what is relevant today in terms of the technical substance/merit of the papers. I'm afraid, I'm starting to sound like a politician running for office or a gossip columnist. :-) No point in confusing the relevant technical issues/approach by going on a tangent. I hope it is clear what the focus of this discussion is.

Please find enclosed a link to a draft discussing Concepts and a Realistic Information Model: https://sites.google.com/site/concept12345678/concept/Concepts.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1 A compilation of papers can be found at http://sites.google.com/site/concept12345678/concept/Realistic.doc?attredirects=0&d=1 The draft includes several new sections and revisions based on the feedback that I have received: - Model evaluation and Metrics (includes references to empirical studies) - References (revised) - Mathematical Model By the way, I found a couple of references that seemed interesting (better late than never): “We can note in passing that one of the biggest problems in the development of object-oriented SW architectures, particularly in the last 25 years, has been an enormous over-focus on objects and an under-focus on messaging (most so-called object-oriented languages don’t really use the looser coupling of messaging, but instead use the much tighter gear meshing of procedure calls – this hurts scalability and interoperability).” Alan Kay et al. Tighter gear meshing of procedure calls has also been characterized as “The complex machinery of procedure declarations” while discussing problems associated with traditional APIs [26]. I've been receiving good feedback on the overall effort: "The [Conceptual] approach is very interesting, relevant, and can be applied to several different CS topic areas/courses." "Applying Biomathematics and Philosophy to software engineering models and programming languages is a novel concept." "The goal of finding new uniform bases for computing is laudable ..." I'm also working on a book publication. The publisher has asked me to provide a list of potential reviewers for a book proposal. The scope of the effort is limited to one-page questionnaire regarding the proposal. If you are interested in participating, please contact me via email. I'd really appreciate it . As usual, please keep making your questions/comments as specific as possible. This allows me to send appropriate responses. Feel free to quote specific sections of the draft.
