Since their standardizations by the W3C, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and XML Schema Definition (XSD) have been widely adopted as a format to describe data and to define programming language agnostic data types and content models. Several other W3C standards such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL) are based on XML and XSD. At the same time, s...

An empirical and quantitative comparison of C, C++, and Java is carried out. The impact of each language on the development time of a fixed sample project is estimated. A new estimation method for the development time is applied which is based on probability theory. For the sample project, C++ and Java yield better estimates than C. Without training in object-oriented programming, the C++ estim...

Recently, the C and the VISUAL BASIC communities were tantalized by the advent of LINQ [18]—the Language INtegrated Query technology from Microsoft. LINQ represents a set of language extensions relying on advanced (some say hard to understand) techniques drawn from functional languages such as type inference, λexpressions and most importantly, monads. The 3 edition of C just as the 9 of VISUAL ...

Implementations of language oriented programming (LOP) are typically either language workbenches, which facilitate the development of external domain speci c languages (DSLs) with projectional editors, or host languages for internal DSLs that are parsed. In this work, we present Cedalio a novel approach to LOP, along with a prototyped programming language and workbench implementing our approach...

In this paper, we present a semantic theory for the exchange of information in multi-agent systems. We consider the multi-agent programming language agent communication programming language, which integrates the paradigms of concurrent constraint programming and communicating sequential processes (CSP). The constraint programming techniques are used to represent and process information, whereas...

Difficulties with learning a programming language are wide spread in engineering education. The use of a single integrated programming environment for coding, debugging, automated testing and online assessment lowers the initial burdens for novice programmers. We have developed the Virtual-C IDE especially for learning and teaching the C programming language with an integrated framework for pro...

The language Vector C is a superset of the conventional (scalar) programming language C with extensions to facilitate vector processing. In tbis paper, a methodology 'for performing language cJ:tensions and the language features of Vector C arc presented. The implementation of Vcctor C on the Cyber 205 is nearing completion. Some empirical data arc presented which demonstrate that Vector C can ...

In this paper we report our design and implementation of a new self-scheduling parallel programming language, SELSYN-C. Our approach to the challenge of parallel programming language design and implementation is twofold: (1) the design of simple extensions to C that are both easy to use, and useful for eeective compilation, and (2) the design of eecient and eeective scheduling strategies that c...
