Special purpose language

A Special-Purpose Language for Picture-Drawing

Special purpose languages are typically characterized by a type of primitive data and domain-speci c operations on this data. One approach to special purpose language design is to embed the data and operations of the language within an existing functional language. The data can be de ned using the type constructions provided by the functional language, and the special purpose language then inhe...

Special-Purpose Nickel Alloys

NICKEL-BASE ALLOYS have a number of unique properties, or combinations of properties, that allow them to be used in a variety of specialized applications. For example, the high resistivity (resistance to flow of electricity) and heat resistance of nickel-chromium alloys lead to their use as electric resistance heating elements. The soft magnetic properties of nickel-iron alloys are employed in ...

Special Purpose Parallel Computing

A vast amount of work has been done in recent years on the design, analysis, implementation and veriication of special purpose parallel computing systems. This paper presents a survey of various aspects of this work. A long, but by no means complete, bibliography is given.

Real Time Programming: Special Purpose or General Purpose Languages

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...
