TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for structuring complex computing systems by the use of what they term "recovery blocks", "conversations", and "fault-tolerant interfaces".
Abstract: The paper presents, and discusses the rationale behind, a method for structuring complex computing systems by the use of what we term “recovery blocks”, “conversations” and “fault-tolerant interfaces”. The aim is to facilitate the provision of dependable error detection and recovery facilities which can cope with errors caused by residual design inadequacies, particularly in the system software, rather than merely the occasional malfunctioning of hardware components.

TL;DR: The literature available on the topic of domain-specific languages as used for the construction and maintenance of software systems is surveyed, and a selection of 75 key publications in the area is listed.
Abstract: We survey the literature available on the topic of domain-specific languages as used for the construction and maintenance of software systems. We list a selection of 75 key publications in the area, and provide a summary for each of the papers. Moreover, we discuss terminology, risks and benefits, example domain-specific languages, design methodologies, and implementation techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, a half dozen persons have written technically on combinatory logic, and most of these, including ourselves, have published something erroneous, since some of our fellow sinners are among the most careful and competent logicians on the contemporary scene.
Abstract: \"Some half dozen persons have written technically on combinatory logic, and most of these, including ourselves, have published something erroneous. Since some of our fellow sinners are among the most careful and competent logicians on the contemporary scene, we regard this as evidence that the subject is refractory. Thus fullness of exposition is necessory for accurary; and excessive condensation would be false economy here, even more than it is ordinarily.\
