Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation
White Papers This paper is the fruit of a vision for teaching programming languages by integrating the "Two cultures" that have evolved in its pedagogy. One culture is based on interpreters, while the other emphasizes a survey of languages.

Incorporating "Level of Detail" Into Programming Languages Aimed at Real-Time Application
White Papers Currently such programs are written in traditional programming languages, and LOD mechanisms are hand-crafted by the programmes, which is tedious and error-prone. This paper proposes alternative method in which LODs are directly supported by...

Practical Foundations for Programming Languages
White Papers The central organizing principle of the paper is that programming language features may be seen as manifestations of an underlying type structure that governs its syntax and semantics. The emphasis, therefore, is on the concept of type, which...

Understanding Programming Languages
White Papers An implementation on a particular machine cannot serve as a definitional vehicle for a programming language. For one thing, there are too many extraneous details that pertain to the target machine i.e.it is far too idiosyncratic to serve as a...
