Executable English

چکیده
This paper introduces a declarative formal language, called Executable English, for specifying computations. The language is designed to be readable, without training, by any English speaker with an engineering or science background. Hence, programs can be read by members of an engineering team who are not themselves programmers, but whose technical knowledge is being used to create the programs. Programs in the language are fully executable, and their semantics is given by a translation to the functional language SequenceL.

متن کاملA large-alphabet-oriented scheme for Chinese and English text compression
In this paper, a large alphabet oriented scheme is proposed for both Chinese and English text compression. Our scheme parses Chinese text with the alphabet defined by Big-5 code, and parses English text with some rules designed here. Thus, the alphabet used for English is not a word alphabet. After parsed out into tokens, zero, first, and second order Markov models are used to estimate the occu...
