While serializability always guarantees application correctness, lower isolation levels can be chosen to improve transaction throughput at the risk of introducing certain anomalies. A set of transactions is robust against a given isolation level if every p ...

Macro annotations are an important feature in Scala 2 macro system. Many projects use macro annotations to implement their systems or libraries. Due to the unportability of Scala 2 macro system, Scala 3 redesigns the macro system to make it more reliable a ...

The isolation level Multiversion Read Committed (RC), offered by many database systems, is known to trade consistency for increased transaction throughput. Sometimes, transaction workloads can be safely executed under RC obtaining the perfect isolation of ...

The growing demand for data-intensive decision support and the migration to multi-tenant infrastructures put databases under the stress of high analytical query load. The requirement for high throughput contradicts the traditional design of query-at-a-time ...
Programming with monads can be advantageous even in imperative languages with builtin support for side effects. However, in these languages composing monadic programs is different from composing side effecting imperative programs. This does not need to be ...
Every five years, a group of the leading database researchers meet to reflect on their community's impact on the computing industry as well as examine current research challenges. ...
Embedding text in one language within text of another is commonplace for numerous purposes, but usually requires tedious and error-prone “escaping” transformations on the embedded string. We propose a simple cross-language syntactic discipline, matchertext ...
Type-level programming is becoming more and more popular in the realm of functional programming. However, the combination of type-level programming and subtyping remains largely unexplored in practical programming languages. This paper presents \emph{match ...
In metaprogramming, code generation and code analysis are complementary. Traditionally, principled metaprogramming extensions for programming languages, like MetaML and BER MetaOCaml, offer strong foundations for code generation but lack equivalent support ...
Software engineering practices have been steadily moving towards higher-level programming languages and away from lower-level ones. High-level languages tend to greatly improve safety, productivity, and code maintainability because they handle various impl ...
