1.5       noro      494: From the viewpoint of protocol design, it can be regarded as a child
1.11    ! noro      495: of OpenMath \cite{noro:OPENMATH}.  However our approach is somewhat
1.5       noro      496: different. Our main purpose is to provide an environment for
                    497: integrating {\it existing} mathematical software systems. OpenXM
1.11    ! noro      498: RFC-100 \cite{noro:RFC100} defines a client-server architecture.  Under
1.5       noro      499: this specification, a client invokes an OpenXM ({\it OX}) server.  The
                    500: client can send OpenXM ({\it OX}) messages to the server.  OX messages
                    501: consist of {\it data} and {\it command}. Data is encoded according to
                    502: the common mathematical object ({\it CMO}) format which defines
                    503: serialized representation of mathematical objects.  An OX server is a
                    504: stackmachine. If data is sent as an OX message, the server pushes the
                    505: data onto its stack. There is a common set of stackmachine commands
                    506: and each OX server understands its subset. The command set includes
                    507: stack manipulating commands and requests for execution of a procedure.
                    508: In addition, a server may accept its own command sequences if the
                    509: server wraps some interactive software. That is the server may be a

                    610: \section{Concluding remarks}
1.11    ! noro      611: %We have shown the current status of Risa/Asir and its OpenXM
        !           612: %interfaces. As a result of our policy of development, it is true that
        !           613: %Risa/Asir does not have abundant functions. However it is a completely
        !           614: %open system and its total performance is not bad. Especially on
        !           615: %Groebner basis computation over {\bf Q}, many techniques for improving
        !           616: %practical performances have been implemented. As the OpenXM interface
        !           617: %specification is completely documented, we can easily add another
        !           618: %function to Risa/Asir by wrapping an existing software system as an OX
        !           619: %server, and other clients can call functions in Risa/Asir by
        !           620: %implementing the OpenXM client interface.  With the remote debugging
        !           621: %and the function to reset servers, one will be able to enjoy parallel
        !           622: %and distributed computation with OpenXM facilities.
        !           623: %
        !           624: We have shown that many techniques for
        !           625: improving practical performances are implemented in Risa/Asir's
        !           626: Groebner basis engine.  Though another important function, the
        !           627: polynomial factorizer only implements classical algorithms, its
        !           628: performance is comparable with or superior to that of Maple or
        !           629: Mathematica and is still practically useful.  By preparing OpenXM
        !           630: interface or simply linking the Asir OpenXM library, one can call
        !           631: these efficient functions from any application.  Risa/Asir is a
        !           632: completely open system.  It is open source software
        !           633: and the OpenXM interface specification is completely documented, one
        !           634: can easily write interfaces to call functions in Risa/Asir and one
        !           635: will be able to enjoy parallel and distributed computation.
