A Universal Programming Language

In this paper, we describe a programming language based on constraints. Unlike former approaches, its interpreter propagates sets of possible values (rather than single values) through a network of constraints. During the propagation process, the value sets are filtered to obtain consistent subsets, or new values are computed for the undetermined variables from the set of given variables. Const...

XIML: A Universal Language for User Interfaces

In recent years, there have been a number of industry and academic efforts to standardize the representation of many types of data in order to facilitate the interoperability of applications. There is, however, no comparable effort aimed at interaction data, the data that relates to user interfaces. We introduce XIML (eXtensible Interface Markup Language), a proposed common representation for i...

Universal Networking Language: a tool for language independent semantics?

Given source text in several languages, can one answer queries in some other language, without translating any of the sources into the language of the questioner? While this task seems extremely difficult at first sight, it is possible that the ongoing UN sponsored Universal Networking Language (UNL) proposal may hold some clues towards achieving this distant dream. In this paper we present a p...

Language Sampling for Universal Grammars

In this paper we present a sampling algorithm for constrained strings representing the state of parameters of a universal grammar. This sampling algorithm has been used to asses statistical significance of the parametric comparison method, a new syntactic-based approach to reconstruct linguistic phylogeny.
