The term grammar-based software describes software whose input can be specified by a context-free grammar. This grammar may occur explicitly in the software, in the form of an in...
Can virtual machine developers benefit from religiously observing the principles more often embraced for exploratory programming? To find out, we are concurrently constructing two...
In this paper, we develop a new language construct to address one of the pitfalls of parallel programming: precise handling of events across parallel components. The construct, te...
