An emerging area of research is to automatically compute reasonably accurate upper bounds on numerical errors, including roundoffs due to the use of a finite-precision representation for real numbers such as floating point or fixed-point arithmetic. Previo ...
The culture of architecture is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading, simplification and superficial interpretation of something far away, both in space and time, has been the engine of quite many of the avant-gardes of the recent pas ...
Parametric polymorphism enables code reuse and type safety. Underneath the uniform interface exposed to programmers, however, its low level implementation has to cope with inherently non-uniform data: value types of different sizes and semantics (bytes, in ...
Binary descriptors allow faster similarity computation than real-valued ones while requiring much less storage. As a result, many algorithms have recently been proposed to binarize floating-point descriptors so that they can be searched for quickly. Unfortu ...
Modern computing has adopted the floating point type as a default way to describe computations with real numbers. Thanks to dedicated hardware support, such computations are efficient on modern architectures. However, rigorous reasoning about the resulting ...

Using generics, Scala collections can be used to store different types of data in a type-safe manner. Unfortunately, due to the erasure transformation, the performance of generics is degraded when storing primitive types, such as integers and floating poin ...
The research aims to investigate one of the controversial chapters in architecture, far from the linear evolution of the internationally nascent "Neues Bauen", that is Swedish National Romanticism through the experience of the leading exponent, Ragnar Östb ...

In the presence of parametric polymorphism, erasure-based languages such as Java and Scala handle primitives (boolean values, integers and floating point numbers) in a suboptimal way: in order to provide a uniform representation on the low level, all primi ...
After centuries of popularity, late 19th century educational travel began to change and lose something of the 18th century aristocratic Grand Tour. The South remained the focus of interest, the cradle of that culture from which Europe’s own had grown. Swed ...
