A General Purpose Cryptography Survey

For far too long an end-user’s interaction with an application using cryptography has been ignored. Cryptography needs to be simplified and evolve such that users do not need to know they are even using it. While the required user-input must remain minimal the difficulties related to securing communication must be resolved automatically. Ubiquitous encrypted communication will not occur until t...

Emerald : A General - Purpose Programming

SUMMARY Emerald is a general-purpose language with aspects of traditional object-oriented languages, such as Smalltalk, and abstract data type languages, such as Modula-2 and Ada. It is strongly-typed with a non-traditional object model and type system that emphasize abstract types, allow separation of typing and implementation, and provide the exibility of polymorphism and subtyp-ing with comp...

A General-Purpose Probabilistic Language

1.1 Introduction In a rational programming language, a program specifes a situation encountered by an agent; evaluating the program amounts to computing what a rational agent would believe or do in the situation. Rational programming combines the advantages of declarative representations with features of programming languages such as modularity, compositionality, and type systems. A system desi...
