Pattern matching is a programming language construct considered essential in functional programming. Its purpose is to inspect and decompose data. Instead, object-oriented programming languages do not have a dedicated construct for this purpose. A possible ...
A major problem for writing extensible software arises when recursively defined datatypes and operations on these types have to be extended simultaneously without modifying existing code. This paper introduces Extensible Algebraic Datatypes with Defaults w ...
Currently microsystems consist of more and more functionalities in even smaller volumes. Components size has then to be reduced as well, coming through micro- and then nanoscale. The industrial equipments dedicated to their fabrication and assembly have co ...
The functional complexity of hardware and software systems is growing exponentially. This demands an integration of system validation in the design phase to guarantee that a concrete implementation conforms to the modeled requirements. System validation pr ...
This thesis is at the crossing of object-orientation and reliable distributed systems, and contributes to integrate those two research fields. Existing distributed programming environments can be characterised according to whether they rely on object conce ...
New extensions to programming languages are constantly being proposed. But implementing these extensions usually turns out to be a very difficult and expensive task, since conventional compilers often lack extensibility and reusability. In this paper we pr ...
Pattern matching is a widespread programming language construct that enables definitions of values by cases, generalizing if-then-else and case statements. The cases in a pattern matching expression should be exhaustive: when the value does not match any o ...
The ease of compiling malicious code from source code in higher programming languages has increased the volatility of malicious programs: The first appearance of a new worm in the wild is usually followed by modified versions in quick succession. As demons ...
Nowadays, 3D multimedia applications have grown rapidly in number and consist of complex systems (e.g. 3D graphical processing or games) that process extensive amounts of data to create 3D images and results. This produces highcost and high-power consumpti ...
