Scala.js: Type-Directed Interoperability with Dynamically Typed Languages

Sébastien Jean R Doeraene

Interoperability between statically typed and dynamically typed languages is increasingly important, as can be witnessed by the many statically typed languages targeting JavaScript. Interoperating with both the object-oriented and functional features of Ja ...

Incremental Query Evaluation in a Ring of Databases

Christoph Koch

This article approaches the incremental view maintenance problem from an algebraic perspective. The algebraic structure of a ring of databases is constructed and extended to form a powerful aggregate query calculus. The query calculus inherits the key prop ...

Atomic boxes: coordinated exception handling with transactional memory

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

In concurrent programs raising an exception in one thread does not prevent others from operating on an inconsistent shared state. Instead, exceptions should ideally be handled in coordination by all the threads that are affected by their cause. In this pap ...

Parallel Algorithms for Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems in Haemodynamics

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Gilles Fourestey, Paolo Crosetto

The increasing computational load required by most applications and the limits in hardware performances affecting scientific computing contributed in the last decades to the development of parallel software and architectures. In Fluid-Structure Interaction ...

Type Classes as Objects and Implicits

Martin Odersky

Type classes were originally developed in Haskell as a disciplined alternative to ad-hoc polymorphism. Type classes have been shown to provide a type-safe solution to important challenges in software engineering and programming languages such as, for examp ...

Isolated Actors for Race-Free Concurrent Programming

Philipp Haller

Message-based concurrency using actors has the potential to scale from multicore processors to distributed systems. However, several challenges remain until actor-based programming can be applied on a large scale. First, actor implementations must be effic ...

Capabilities for External Uniqueness

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

Unique object references have many important applications in object-oriented programming. For instance, with sufficient encapsulation properties they enable safe and efficient transfer of message objects between concurrent processes. However, it is a long- ...

Opis: Reliable Distributed Systems in OCaml

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic, Pierre-Evariste Dagand

Concurrency and distribution pose algorithmic and implementation challenges in developing reliable distributed systems, making the field an excellent testbed for evaluating programming language and verification paradigms. Several specialized domain-specifi ...
