Chunks in PLAN: Language Support for Programs as Packets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chunks are a programming construct in PLAN, the Packet Language for Active Networks, comprised of a code segment and a suspended function call. In PLAN, chunks provide support for encapsulation and other packet programming techniques. This paper begins by explaining the semantics and implementation of chunks. We proceed, using several PLAN source code examples, to demonstrate the usefulness of chunks for micro-protocols, asynchronous adaptation, and as units of authentication granularity.

متن کاملThe Impact of Teaching Chunks on Speaking Fluency of Iranian EFL Learners
Research on multiword clusters (chunks) is based on the assumption that native speakers use plenty of chunks in their everyday language and they are considered as fluent speakers of language. Therefore the present study was an attempt to investigate the impact of using chunks on speaking fluency of Iranian EFL learners. In the first phase of the study, the students of two intermediate classes s...
متن کاملPLAN : A Programming Language for Active
PLAN (Programming Language for Active Networks) is a new language for programs that are carried in the packets of a programmable network. PLAN programs replace the packet headers (which can be viewed as`dumb' programs) used in current networks. As a header replacement, PLAN programs must be lightweight and of limited functionality. These limitations are mitigated by allowing PLAN code to call s...
متن کاملAppropriation Based -Syllabus and Advanced EFL Learners’ Speaking Skill: The Case of Chunks-on-Card Activities
The impetus for conducting the present study came from Thornbury's (2005) approach to teach speaking in which he claimed that awareness-raising techniques, along with appropriation strategies, facilitate the process of teaching and learning speaking. Therefore, the present study attempted to explore the impact of the appropriation-based syllabus to teach speaking by using chunks-on-card...
متن کاملKey Lexical Chunks in Applied Linguistics Article Abstracts
In any discourse domain, certain chunks are particularly frequent and deserve attention by the novice to be initiated and by the expert to maintain a sense of community. To make a relevant contribution to the awareness about applied linguistics texts and discourse, this study attempted to develop lists of lexical chunks frequently used in the abstracts of applied linguistics journals. The abstr...
