Programming Paradigms and Clustering Rules Programming Paradigms and Clustering Rules

Debugging distributed applications is very di cult, due to a number of problems. To manage the inherent complexity of distributed applications, the use of abstractions is proposed. One frequently performed abstraction is to group processes into clusters. We describe an approach to derive clustering rules from well{known programming paradigms for distributed programming. Programming paradigms de...

Fleet Programming Paradigms

I intend to use the streaming model as the basis for Admiral 2, particularly that of the StreamIt language [1]. In this model, a program consists of multiple independent filters, each of which consists of a steady-state function that computes a fixed number of outputs from a fixed number of inputs. These filters are composed hierarchically into a streaming graph, where edges correspond to the f...

The Role of Programming Paradigms in the First Programming Courses

The choice of the first programming language and the corresponding programming paradigm is critical for later development of a programmer. Despite the huge number of programming languages introduced over the last fifty years, the key issues in programming education remain the same and choosing appropriate first programming language is still challenging. In this paper we overview some of the mos...

Programming Paradigms of the Andorra Kernel Language

The Andorra Kernel Language (AKL) is introduced. We show how AKL provides the programming paradigms of both Prolog and GHC. This is the original goal of the design. It has also been possible to provide capabilities beyond that of Prolog and GHC. There are means to structure search, more powerful than plain backtracking. It is possible to encapsulate search in concurrent reactive processes. It i...
