Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model.
Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes.
A language targeting only one runtim ...
Despite many years of research, alignment of business and IT services remains a challenge. In this paper we show how to verify the quantitative properties of a service against stakeholder requirements during service design. We model the service with the Sy ...
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 ...
The Javadoc paradigm for displaying API documentation to users is quite popular, with similar variants existing for many mainstream languages. However, two user interface design properties of Javadoc may reduce its utility when displaying documentation for ...
With Java 5 and C-# 2.0, first-order parametric polymorphism was introduced in mainstream object-oriented programming languages under the name of generics. Although the first- order variant of generics is very useful, it also imposes some restrictions: it ...
After more than a century of research, the mechanisms underlying visual masking are still hotly debated. One key characteristic of masking is that variations in the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between the target and the mask can lead to either monotoni ...

In 1971, the first microprocessor produced in mass production had 2300 transistor and was able to compute 60'000 operations per second at 740 kHz. Nowadays, even a common gaming console uses a central unit including 243 millions of transistors running at 4 ...
