Strolling through Paradise

With each of the classical tree–like forcings adjoining a new real, one can associate a σ– ideal on the reals in a natural way. For example, the ideal of Marczewski null sets s corresponds to Sacks forcing S, while the ideal of nowhere Ramsey sets r corresponds to Mathias forcing R. We show (in ZFC) that none of these ideals is included in any of the others. We also discuss Mycielski’s ideal P2...

From GranSim to Paradise

We describe PARADISE (PARAllel DIstribution Simulator for Eden) a simulator developed to proole the execution of programs written in the parallel functional programming language Eden BLOMP96], BLOMP97]. Eden extends the lazy functional language Haskell by syntactic constructs to explicitly deene processes. Paradise is a substantial modiication of GranSim HLP94], Loi96], Loi98], a tool to study ...
