01 Jan 2002TL;DR: This text provides a comprehensive introduction both to type systems in computer science and to the basic theory of programming languages, with a variety of approaches to modeling the features of object-oriented languages.
Abstract: A type system is a syntactic method for automatically checking the absence of certain erroneous behaviors by classifying program phrases according to the kinds of values they compute. The study of type systems -- and of programming languages from a type-theoretic perspective -- has important applications in software engineering, language design, high-performance compilers, and security.This text provides a comprehensive introduction both to type systems in computer science and to the basic theory of programming languages. The approach is pragmatic and operational; each new concept is motivated by programming examples and the more theoretical sections are driven by the needs of implementations. Each chapter is accompanied by numerous exercises and solutions, as well as a running implementation, available via the Web. Dependencies between chapters are explicitly identified, allowing readers to choose a variety of paths through the material.The core topics include the untyped lambda-calculus, simple type systems, type reconstruction, universal and existential polymorphism, subtyping, bounded quantification, recursive types, kinds, and type operators. Extended case studies develop a variety of approaches to modeling the features of object-oriented languages.

TL;DR: A general method for proving/deciding equivalences between omega-regular languages, whose recognizers are modified forms of Buchi or Muller-McNaughton automata, derived from Milner's notion of “simulation” is obtained.

TL;DR: This book attempts to provide a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate mathematicians with an interest in formal languages and automata, written by Professor Ian Chiswell.
Abstract: The 80 revised papers presented together with two keynote contributions and four invited papers were carefully reviewed and sele... The study of formal languages and automata has proved to be a source of much interest and discussion amongst mathematicians in recent times. This book, written by Professor Ian Chiswell, attempts to provide a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate mathematicians with an interest i...

TL;DR: As I talked with enthusiasts and examined the systems they used, I began to develop a model of the features that produced such delight, and the central ideas seemed to be visibility of the object of interest; rapid, reversible, incremental actions; and replacement of complex command language syntax by direct manipulation of the objects of interest.
Abstract: These feelings are not, of course, universal, but the amalgam does convey an image of the truly pleased user. As I talked with these enthusiasts and examined the systems they used, I began to develop a model of the features that produced such delight. The central ideas seemed to be visibility of the object of interest; rapid, reversible, incremental actions; and replacement of complex command language syntax by direct manipulation of the object of interest-hence the term \"direct manipulation.\" Examples of direct manipulation systems

TL;DR: My 1987 book is now out of print, but it is available here in its entirety in PDF form, in one of two formats: single-page portrait double-page landscape and fully searchable, thanks to OCR and Norman Ramsey.
Abstract: My 1987 book is now out of print, but it is available here in its entirety in PDF form, in one of two formats: single-page portrait double-page landscape Both are fully searchable, thanks to OCR and Norman Ramsey. Errata Section 5.2.4, p87. We need an extra rule match us [] E = E This accounts for the possibility that in the constructor rule (Section 5.2.4) there may be some non-nullary constructors for which there are no equations. P168, line 2, “VAR” should be “TVAR”.
