“C++ and Object-Oriented Numeric Computing for Scientists and Engineers” is one of the few C++ books targeted toward the scientific community that uses numeric computing as the primary research tool. The book is divided into three parts: the first part introduces the reader to general programming concepts, the second part focuses on the unique aspects of C++ as an object oriented programming la...

This paper presents a strategy to simplify the programming of heterogeneous distributed systems. Our approach is based on integrating a high-level distributed programming model, called the process model, directly into programming languages. Distributed applications written in such languages are portable across di erent environments, are shorter, and are simpler to develop than similar applicati...

This paper presents a novel program editor, C Y NTHIA, for the functional programming language ML. Motivated by the current lack of good programming environments for functional programming, C Y NTHIA incorporates programming by analogy | whereby users write programs by applying abstract transformations to existing programs | and sophisticated correctness-checking techniques such as checking for...

Many beginners are far from being able to overcome the difficulties of the elementary programming study based on such languages as Pascal, Basic, C or Fortran. The success of the Logo "turtle graphics" ilas stimulated the development of the new approach towards the elementary programming teaching. This "mini-language" approach is discussed briefly in the paper. As an example of mini-language we...

Recently, Cheng in 1993 introduced the C” programming language. C” is designed to be a superset of C with all the programming features of FORTRAN. Formulas with dual numbers can be translated into CH programming statements as easily as formulas with real and complex numbers. In this paper we will show that both formulation and programming with dual numbers are remarkably simple for analysis of ...

In this paper we describe the development of a parser for the C# programming language. We outline the development process used, detail its application to the development of a C# parser and present a number of metrics that describe the parser’s evolution. This paper presents and reinforces an argument for the application of software engineering techniques in the area of parser design. The develo...

In this paper, we present an abstract model of the RAPID-2 SIMD architecture. RAPID-2 is a massively parallel add-on board for PCs. It implements a "paginated set-associative" model of architecture, and has systolic capabilities. The L1 language implements the abstract model. L1 is a co-specification language for the programming and micro-programming of RAPID-2. It is derived from C. In order t...
