The ρ-calculus is a new calculus that integrates in a uniform and simple setting first-order rewriting, λ-calculus and non-deterministic computations. The main design concept of the ρ-calculus is to make all the basic ingredients of rewriting explicit objects, in particular the notions of rule application and multisets of results. This paper describes the calculus from its syntax to its basic p...

Implementing a compiler for a language with nondeterministic features is known to be a difficult task. This paper presents two new functions setChoicePoint and fail that extend the C language to efficiently handle choice point management. Originally, these two functions were designed to compile the ELAN strategy language. However, they can be used by programmers for general programming in C. We...

Language comprehension can be subdivided into three processing steps: initial structure building, semantic integration, and late syntactic integration. The two syntactic processing phases are correlated with two distinct components in the event-related brain potential, namely an early left anterior negativity (ELAN) and a late centroparietal positivity (P600). Moreover, ERP findings from health...

Softwarepraktika werden im Grundstudium vieler Informatikstudiengänge angeboten. An einigen Informatikfachbereichen werden auch im Hauptstudium Projektgruppen durchgeführt, in denen Gruppen von ca. zehn Studierenden im Zeitraum von mehreren Semestern gemeinsam ein größeres Projekt bearbeiten (Beispiele sind Dortmund, Oldenburg und Paderborn). Ein zentrales Ziel bei diesen Praktika, ob im Grundo...

A new interface to the ELAN annotation software that can handle automatically generated annotations by a sign language recognition and translation framework is described. For evaluation and benchmarking of automatic sign language recognition, large corpora with rich annotation are needed. Such databases have generally only small vocabularies and are created for linguistic purposes, because the ...
