Concurrent programming languages are growing in importance with the advent of multi-core systems. However, concurrent programs suffer from problems, such as data races and deadloc...
Purely functional programs should run well on parallel hardware because of the absence of side effects, but it has proved hard to realise this potential in practice. Plenty of pap...
Recent functional logic languages such as Curry and Toy combine lazy functional programming with logic programming features including logic variables, non-determinism, unification...
Embedded hard real-time software systems often need fine-grained parallelism and precise control of timing, things typical real-time operating systems do not provide. The Esterel l...
Safe programming languages encourage the development of dynamically extensible systems, such as extensible Web servers and mobile agent platforms. Although protection is of utmost...
