Top-down design and the algebra of communicating processes

the impact of explicit instruction of top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension of intermediate efl learners

this study investigated (a) the learners’ existing reading strategy repertoire, (b) the effect of instruction in reading strategies on learners’ strategic performance, and (c) the effect of explicit instruction in top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension ability of intermediate learners. the study was conducted with 40 intermediate efl learners in two groups of experimental and cont...

Processes and Experiences in VHDL Top Down Design

Described are VHDL related methods and experiences from the RASSP programs model year effort. The "Virtual Prototype” development methodology is presented highlighting specific VHDL model views and their interact ions with sof tware design. Performance and Instruction Set Archi tec ture model ing areas o f the methodology are elaborated drawing from the experiences of the Demonstration team. Fi...

The Algebra of Communicating Processes With Empty Process

The axiom systems BPX, BPAE,, PA " and ACP " which are in essence the systems BPA, PA and ACP extended with the empty process are presented. For the system ACP " , that contains the other three systems, the first steps are taken towards making it operational: the most basic supplementary axioms are given. It is also adapted such that they can deal with the empty process and a graph model is con...

Reactive Programming using the Algebra of Communicating Processes

R&D on reactive programming is growing and this has delivered quite many language constructs, libraries and tools. Scala programmers can use threads, timers, actors, futures, promises, observables, the async construct, and others. Still it seems to us that the state of the art is not mature: reactive programming is relatively hard, and confidence in correct operation depends mainly on extensive...
