Logics and Languages for Reliability and Security - Volume 25 NATO Science for Peace and Security Series - D by J. Esparza (Editor); B. Spanfelner (Editor)
Software-intensive systems are today an integral part of many everyday products. Whilst they provide great benefits in terms of ease of use and allow for new applications, they also impose enormous responsibilities. It is vital to ensure that such applications work correctly and that any data they use remains secure. Increasing the reliability of such systems is an important and challenging research topic in current computer science.This volume presents a number of papers which formed the basis for lectures at the 2009 summer school Formal Logical Methods for System Security and Correctness. The topics include: program analysis and verification by abstract interpretation, principles and applications of refinement types, multi-valued automata and their applications, mechanized semantics with applications to program proof and compiler verification and using security policies to write secure software, among others.This book delivers an interesting and valuable overview of state-of-the-art in logic- and language-based solutions to system reliability and security to anyone concerned with the correct functioning of software systems.

Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Event-Driven Programming by Dorian P. Yeager
Essential concepts of programming language design and implementation are explained and illustrated in the context of the object-oriented programming language (OOPL) paradigm. Written with the upper-level undergraduate student in mind, the text begins with an introductory chapter that summarizes the essential features of an OOPL, then widens the discussion to categorize the other major paradigms, introduce the important issues, and define the essential terms. After a brief second chapter on event-driven programming (EDP), subsequent chapters are built around case studies in each of the languages Smalltalk, C++, Java, C#, and Python. Included in each case study is a discussion of the accompanying libraries, including the essential container classes. For each language, one important event-driven library is singled out and studied. Sufficient information is given so that students can complete an event-driven project in any of the given languages. After completing the course the student should have a solid set of skills in each language the instructor chooses to cover, a comprehensive overview of how these languages relate to each other, and an appreciation of the major issues in OOPL design. Key Features: *Provides essential coverage of Smalltalk origins, syntax, and semantics, a valuable asset for students wanting to understand the hybrid Objective C language *Provides detailed case studies of Smalltalk, Java, C++, C#, and Python and features a side-by-side development of the Java and C++ languages--highlighting their similarities and differences *Sets the discussion in a historical framework, tracing the roots of the OOPLs back to Simula 67. *Provides broad-based coverage of all languages, imparting essential skills as well as an appreciation for each language's design philosophy *Includes chapter summary, review questions, chapter exercises, an appendix with event-driven projects, and instructor resources

Programming Distributed Computing Systems by Carlos A. Varela
An introduction to fundamental theories of concurrent computation and associated programming languages for developing distributed and mobile computing systems. Starting from the premise that understanding the foundations of concurrent programming is key to developing distributed computing systems, this book first presents the fundamental theories of concurrent computing and then introduces the programming languages that help develop distributed computing systems at a high level of abstraction. The major theories of concurrent computation--including the p-calculus, the actor model, the join calculus, and mobile ambients--are explained with a focus on how they help design and reason about distributed and mobile computing systems. The book then presents programming languages that follow the theoretical models already described, including Pict, SALSA, and JoCaml. The parallel structure of the chapters in both part one (theory) and part two (practice) enable the reader not only to compare the different theories but also to see clearly how a programming language supports a theoretical model. The book is unique in bridging the gap between the theory and the practice of programming distributed computing systems. It can be used as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in computer science or as a reference for researchers in the area of programming technology for distributed computing. By presenting theory first, the book allows readers to focus on the essential components of concurrency, distribution, and mobility without getting bogged down in syntactic details of specific programming languages. Once the theory is understood, the practical part of implementing a system in an actual programming language becomes much easier.

Real Time Programming: Languages, Specification and Verification by R. K. Shyamasundar; S. Ramesh
The primary aim of this monograph is to present the current research efforts that have gone into/or going on in the systematic design of real-time programs. Such an effort would help researchers and users in the area to get a clear picture of the issues of specification, verification and design of real-time reactive programs. It will clearly enable us to identify languages that can be used for different kinds of applications. Obviously, in an upcoming area like this, this presentation is far from complete.The quintessence of the monograph can be captured by the following question:How can we design and develop Robust Reactive (real-time) Programs?We address this question in this monograph through the various underlying issues listed, such as characteristics of real-time/reactive programs, reactive programming languages, verification and refinements.

Theory of Computation by George Tourlakis
"In the (meta)theory of computing, the fundamental questions of the limitations of computing are addressed. These limitations, which are intrinsic rather than technology dependent, may immediatly rule out the existence of algorithmic solutions for some problems while for others they rule out efficient solutions. The author's approach is anchored on the concrete (and assumed) practical knowledge about general computer programming, attained readers in a first year programming course, as well as the knowledge of discrete mathematics at the same level. The book develops the metatheory of general computing and builds on the reader's prior computing experience. Metatheory via the programming formalism known as Shepherdson-Sturgis Unbounded Register Machines (URM)--a straightforward abstraction of modern highlevel programming languages--is developed. Restrictions of the URM programming language are also discussed. The author has chosen to focus on the highlevel language approach of URMs as opposed to the Turing Machine since URMs relate more directly to programming learned in prior experiences. The author presents the topics of automata and languages only after readers become familiar, to some extent, with the (general) computability theory including the special computability theory of more "practical" functions, the primitive recursive functions. Automata are presented as a very restricted programming formalism, and their limitations (in expressivity) and their associated languages are studied. In addition, this book contains tools that, in principle, can search a set of algorithms to see whether a problem is solvable, or more specifically, if it can be solved by an algorithm whose computations are efficient. Chapter coverage includes: Mathematical Background; Algorithms, Computable Functions, and Computations; A Subset of the URM Language: FA and NFA; and Adding a Stack to an NFA: Pushdown Automata"-- Provided by publisher.

Using OpenCL Programming Massively Parallel Computers by J. Kowalik (Editor); T. Puzniakowski (Editor)
In 2011 many computer users were exploring the opportunities and the benefits of the massive parallelism offered by heterogeneous computing. In 2000 the Khronos Group, a not-for-profit industry consortium, was founded to create standard open APIs for parallel computing, graphics and dynamic media. Among them has been OpenCL, an open system for programming heterogeneous computers with components made by multiple manufacturers. This publication explains how heterogeneous computers work and how to program them using OpenCL. It also describes how to combine OpenCL with OpenGL for displaying graphical effects in real time. Chapter 1 describes briefly two older de facto standard and highly successful parallel programming systems: MPI and OpenMP. Collectively, the MPI, OpenMP, and OpenCL systems cover programming of all major parallel architectures: clusters, shared-memory computers, and the newest heterogeneous computers. Chapter 2, the technical core of the book, deals with OpenCL fundamentals: programming, hardware, and the interaction between them. Chapter 3 adds important information about such advanced issues as double-versus-single arithmetic precision, efficiency, memory use, and debugging. Chapters 2 and 3 contain several examples of code and one case study on genetic algorithms. These examples are related to linear algebra operations, which are very common in scientific, industrial, and business applications. Most of the book's examples can be found on the enclosed CD, which also contains basic projects for Visual Studio, MinGW, and GCC. This supplementary material will assist the reader in getting a quick start on OpenCL projects.

Undocumented Secrets of MATLAB-Java Programming by Yair M. Altman
Preface The Matlab programming environment uses Java for numerous tasks, including networking, data-processing algorithms, and graphical user-interface (GUI). Matlab's internal Java classes can often be easily accessed and used by Matlab users. Matlab also enables easy access to external Java functionality, either third-party or user-created. Using Java, we can extensively customize the Matlab environment and application GUI, enabling the creation of very esthetically pleasing applications. Unlike Matlab's interface with other programming languages, the internal Java classes and the Matlab-Java interface were never fully documented by The MathWorks (TMW), the company that manufactures the Matlab product. This is really quite unfortunate: Java is one of the most widely used programming languages, having many times as many programmers as Matlab. Using this huge pool of knowledge and components can significantly improve Matlab applications. As a consultant, I often hear clients claim that Matlab is a fine programming platform for prototyping, but is not suitable for real-world modern-looking applications. This book aimed at correcting this misconception. It shows how using Java can significantly improve Matlab program appearance and functionality and that this can be done easily and even without any prior Java knowledge. In fact, many basic programming requirements cannot be achieved (or are difficult) in pure Matlab, but are very easy in Java. As a simple example, maximizing and minimizing windows is not possible in pure Matlab, but is a trivial one-liner using the underlying Java codeʹ:"--Provided by publisher.

Functional Programming Using F# by Michael R. Hansen; Hans Rischel
Getting started In this chapter we will introduce some of the main concepts of functional programming languages. In particular we will introduce the concepts of value, expression, declaration, recursive function and type. Furthermore, to explain the meaning of programs we will introduce the notions: binding, environment and evaluation of expressions. The purpose of the chapter is to acquaint the reader with these concepts, in order to address interesting problems from the very beginning. The reader will obtain a thorough knowledge of these concepts and skills in applying them as we elaborate on them throughout this book. There is support of both compilation of F# programs to executable code and the execution of programs in an interactive mode. The programs in this book are usually illustrated by the use of the interactive mode. The interface of the interactive F# compiler is very advanced as e.g. structured values like tuples, lists, trees and functions can be communicated directly between the user and the system without any conversions. Thus, it is very easy to experiment with programs and program designs and this allows us to focus on the main structures of programs and program designs, i.e. the core of programming, as input and output of structured values can be handled by the F# system"-- Provided by publisher.

Logics and Languages for Reliability and Security - Volume 25 NATO Science for Peace and Security Series - D by
Software-intensive systems are today an integral part of many everyday products. Whilst they provide great benefits in terms of ease of use and allow for new applications, they also impose enormous responsibilities. It is vital to ensure that such applications work correctly and that any data they use remains secure. Increasing the reliability of such systems is an important and challenging research topic in current computer science.This volume presents a number of papers which formed the basis for lectures at the 2009 summer school Formal Logical Methods for System Security and Correctness. The topics include: program analysis and verification by abstract interpretation, principles and applications of refinement types, multi-valued automata and their applications, mechanized semantics with applications to program proof and compiler verification and using security policies to write secure software, among others.This book delivers an interesting and valuable overview of state-of-the-art in logic- and language-based solutions to system reliability and security to anyone concerned with the correct functioning of software systems.
Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Event-Driven Programming by
Essential concepts of programming language design and implementation are explained and illustrated in the context of the object-oriented programming language (OOPL) paradigm. Written with the upper-level undergraduate student in mind, the text begins with an introductory chapter that summarizes the essential features of an OOPL, then widens the discussion to categorize the other major paradigms, introduce the important issues, and define the essential terms. After a brief second chapter on event-driven programming (EDP), subsequent chapters are built around case studies in each of the languages Smalltalk, C++, Java, C#, and Python. Included in each case study is a discussion of the accompanying libraries, including the essential container classes. For each language, one important event-driven library is singled out and studied. Sufficient information is given so that students can complete an event-driven project in any of the given languages. After completing the course the student should have a solid set of skills in each language the instructor chooses to cover, a comprehensive overview of how these languages relate to each other, and an appreciation of the major issues in OOPL design. Key Features: *Provides essential coverage of Smalltalk origins, syntax, and semantics, a valuable asset for students wanting to understand the hybrid Objective C language *Provides detailed case studies of Smalltalk, Java, C++, C#, and Python and features a side-by-side development of the Java and C++ languages--highlighting their similarities and differences *Sets the discussion in a historical framework, tracing the roots of the OOPLs back to Simula 67. *Provides broad-based coverage of all languages, imparting essential skills as well as an appreciation for each language's design philosophy *Includes chapter summary, review questions, chapter exercises, an appendix with event-driven projects, and instructor resources

Programming Distributed Computing Systems by
An introduction to fundamental theories of concurrent computation and associated programming languages for developing distributed and mobile computing systems. Starting from the premise that understanding the foundations of concurrent programming is key to developing distributed computing systems, this book first presents the fundamental theories of concurrent computing and then introduces the programming languages that help develop distributed computing systems at a high level of abstraction. The major theories of concurrent computation--including the p-calculus, the actor model, the join calculus, and mobile ambients--are explained with a focus on how they help design and reason about distributed and mobile computing systems. The book then presents programming languages that follow the theoretical models already described, including Pict, SALSA, and JoCaml. The parallel structure of the chapters in both part one (theory) and part two (practice) enable the reader not only to compare the different theories but also to see clearly how a programming language supports a theoretical model. The book is unique in bridging the gap between the theory and the practice of programming distributed computing systems. It can be used as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in computer science or as a reference for researchers in the area of programming technology for distributed computing. By presenting theory first, the book allows readers to focus on the essential components of concurrency, distribution, and mobility without getting bogged down in syntactic details of specific programming languages. Once the theory is understood, the practical part of implementing a system in an actual programming language becomes much easier.
Real Time Programming: Languages, Specification and Verification by
The primary aim of this monograph is to present the current research efforts that have gone into/or going on in the systematic design of real-time programs. Such an effort would help researchers and users in the area to get a clear picture of the issues of specification, verification and design of real-time reactive programs. It will clearly enable us to identify languages that can be used for different kinds of applications. Obviously, in an upcoming area like this, this presentation is far from complete.The quintessence of the monograph can be captured by the following question:How can we design and develop Robust Reactive (real-time) Programs?We address this question in this monograph through the various underlying issues listed, such as characteristics of real-time/reactive programs, reactive programming languages, verification and refinements.
Systematic Program Design: From Clarity to Efficiency by
"A systematic program design method can help developers ensure the correctness and performance of programs while minimizing the development cost. This book describes a method that starts with a clear specification of a computation and derives an efficient implementation by step-wise program analysis and transformations. The method applies to problems specified in imperative, database, functional, logic, and object-oriented programming languages with different data, control, and module abstractions. Designed for courses or self-study, this book includes numerous exercises and examples that require minimal computer science background, making it accessible to novices. Experienced practitioners and researchers will appreciate the detailed examples in a wide range of application areas including hardware design, image processing, access control, query optimization, and program analysis. The last section of the book points out directions for future studies"-- Provided by publisher.
Theory of Computation by
"In the (meta)theory of computing, the fundamental questions of the limitations of computing are addressed. These limitations, which are intrinsic rather than technology dependent, may immediatly rule out the existence of algorithmic solutions for some problems while for others they rule out efficient solutions. The author's approach is anchored on the concrete (and assumed) practical knowledge about general computer programming, attained readers in a first year programming course, as well as the knowledge of discrete mathematics at the same level. The book develops the metatheory of general computing and builds on the reader's prior computing experience. Metatheory via the programming formalism known as Shepherdson-Sturgis Unbounded Register Machines (URM)--a straightforward abstraction of modern highlevel programming languages--is developed. Restrictions of the URM programming language are also discussed. The author has chosen to focus on the highlevel language approach of URMs as opposed to the Turing Machine since URMs relate more directly to programming learned in prior experiences. The author presents the topics of automata and languages only after readers become familiar, to some extent, with the (general) computability theory including the special computability theory of more "practical" functions, the primitive recursive functions. Automata are presented as a very restricted programming formalism, and their limitations (in expressivity) and their associated languages are studied. In addition, this book contains tools that, in principle, can search a set of algorithms to see whether a problem is solvable, or more specifically, if it can be solved by an algorithm whose computations are efficient. Chapter coverage includes: Mathematical Background; Algorithms, Computable Functions, and Computations; A Subset of the URM Language: FA and NFA; and Adding a Stack to an NFA: Pushdown Automata"-- Provided by publisher.
Topics in Programming Languages by
Topics in Programming Languages'explores the arch from the formation of alphabet and classical philosophy to artificial programming languages in the structure of one argumentative topics list: as if it were philosophy interpreted and programmed. One such endeavour is taken to tend toward phonetics and sounds of speech analysis with λ-calculus, and, ultimately, Prolog - the programming language of choice in artificial intelligence - born of the natural language processing reverie and delusion.
Using OpenCL Programming Massively Parallel Computers by
In 2011 many computer users were exploring the opportunities and the benefits of the massive parallelism offered by heterogeneous computing. In 2000 the Khronos Group, a not-for-profit industry consortium, was founded to create standard open APIs for parallel computing, graphics and dynamic media. Among them has been OpenCL, an open system for programming heterogeneous computers with components made by multiple manufacturers. This publication explains how heterogeneous computers work and how to program them using OpenCL. It also describes how to combine OpenCL with OpenGL for displaying graphical effects in real time. Chapter 1 describes briefly two older de facto standard and highly successful parallel programming systems: MPI and OpenMP. Collectively, the MPI, OpenMP, and OpenCL systems cover programming of all major parallel architectures: clusters, shared-memory computers, and the newest heterogeneous computers. Chapter 2, the technical core of the book, deals with OpenCL fundamentals: programming, hardware, and the interaction between them. Chapter 3 adds important information about such advanced issues as double-versus-single arithmetic precision, efficiency, memory use, and debugging. Chapters 2 and 3 contain several examples of code and one case study on genetic algorithms. These examples are related to linear algebra operations, which are very common in scientific, industrial, and business applications. Most of the book's examples can be found on the enclosed CD, which also contains basic projects for Visual Studio, MinGW, and GCC. This supplementary material will assist the reader in getting a quick start on OpenCL projects.

Undocumented Secrets of MATLAB-Java Programming by
Preface The Matlab programming environment uses Java for numerous tasks, including networking, data-processing algorithms, and graphical user-interface (GUI). Matlab's internal Java classes can often be easily accessed and used by Matlab users. Matlab also enables easy access to external Java functionality, either third-party or user-created. Using Java, we can extensively customize the Matlab environment and application GUI, enabling the creation of very esthetically pleasing applications. Unlike Matlab's interface with other programming languages, the internal Java classes and the Matlab-Java interface were never fully documented by The MathWorks (TMW), the company that manufactures the Matlab product. This is really quite unfortunate: Java is one of the most widely used programming languages, having many times as many programmers as Matlab. Using this huge pool of knowledge and components can significantly improve Matlab applications. As a consultant, I often hear clients claim that Matlab is a fine programming platform for prototyping, but is not suitable for real-world modern-looking applications. This book aimed at correcting this misconception. It shows how using Java can significantly improve Matlab program appearance and functionality and that this can be done easily and even without any prior Java knowledge. In fact, many basic programming requirements cannot be achieved (or are difficult) in pure Matlab, but are very easy in Java. As a simple example, maximizing and minimizing windows is not possible in pure Matlab, but is a trivial one-liner using the underlying Java codeʹ:"--Provided by publisher.

Functional Programming Using F# by
Getting started In this chapter we will introduce some of the main concepts of functional programming languages. In particular we will introduce the concepts of value, expression, declaration, recursive function and type. Furthermore, to explain the meaning of programs we will introduce the notions: binding, environment and evaluation of expressions. The purpose of the chapter is to acquaint the reader with these concepts, in order to address interesting problems from the very beginning. The reader will obtain a thorough knowledge of these concepts and skills in applying them as we elaborate on them throughout this book. There is support of both compilation of F# programs to executable code and the execution of programs in an interactive mode. The programs in this book are usually illustrated by the use of the interactive mode. The interface of the interactive F# compiler is very advanced as e.g. structured values like tuples, lists, trees and functions can be communicated directly between the user and the system without any conversions. Thus, it is very easy to experiment with programs and program designs and this allows us to focus on the main structures of programs and program designs, i.e. the core of programming, as input and output of structured values can be handled by the F# system"-- Provided by publisher.
