Efficient Distributed Subtyping Tests

Rachid Guerraoui, João Barreto, Patrick Eugster

Subtyping tests are essential in typed publish/subscribe infrastructures, especially when the underlying programming language supports subtype conformance, as in Java or C#. These tests are particularly challenging when the publish/subscribe infrastructure ...

Abolish Runtime Systems: Operating Systems Should Control the Execution

James Richard Larus

Singularity [1] is a research project in Microsoft Research that started with a question: what would a software platform look like if it was designed from scratch with the primary goal of dependability? Singularity is working to answer this question by bui ...

Queryll: Java Database Queries through Bytecode Rewriting

Willy Zwaenepoel, Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

When interfacing Java with other systems such as databases, programmers must often program in special interface languages like SQL. Code written in these languages often needs to be embedded in strings where they cannot be error-checked at compile-time, or ...

An Overview of the Scala Programming Language (2. Edition)

Martin Odersky, Gilles Dubochet, Michel Schinz, Vincent Cremet, Burak Emir, Iulian Dragos, Stéphane Micheloud, Nikolay Mihaylov, Matthias Zenger, Philippe Altherr

Scala fuses object-oriented and functional programming in a statically typed programming language. It is aimed at the construction of components and component systems. This paper gives an overview of the Scala language for readers who are familar with prog ...

Flexible and Efficient Measurement of Dynamic Bytecode Metrics

Code instrumentation is finding more and more practical applications, but the required program transformations are often difficult to implement, due to the lack of dedicated, high-level tools. In this paper we present a novel instrumentation framework that ...

A Core Calculus for Scala Type Checking

Martin Odersky, Vincent Cremet

We present a minimal core calculus that captures interesting constructs of the Scala programming language: nested classes, abstract types, mixin composition, and path dependent types. We show that the problems of type assignment and subtyping in this calcu ...

Reflective Program Teneration with Patterns

James Richard Larus

Runtime reflection facilities, as present in Java and .NET, are powerful mechanisms for inspecting existing code and metadata, as well as generating new code and metadata on the fly. Such power does come at a high price though. The runtime reflection suppo ...

Metamodel-Aware Textual Concrete Syntax Specification

Frédéric Fondement

Metamodeling is raising more and more interest in the field of language engineering. While this approach is now well understood for the definition of abstract syntaxes, the formal definition of concrete syntaxes is still a challenge. Concrete syntaxes are ...

Compiling scala for the Java virtual machine

Michel Schinz

Scala is a new programming language developed at EPFL and incorporating the most important concepts of object-oriented and functional languages. It aims at integrating well with the Java and .NET platforms: their respective libraries are accessible without ...
