We describe programming language constructs that facilitate the application of modular design techniques in parallel programming. These constructs allow us to isolate resource management and processor scheduling decisions from the speciication of individual modules, which can themselves encapsulate design decisions concerned with concurrency, communication, process mapping, and data distributio...

In this paper we show how a pure denotative (nonprocedural) language based on the λ-calculus can be provided with purely denotative analogs of the various constructs—such as while loops, blocks, case statements and the like—of conventional imperative structured programming languages. They can be simulated quite adequately using only two simple tools: phrases, which are compound expressions not ...

constructs such as morality, warmth, and competence are the bread and butter of social psychology. Their antecedents and consequences have been explored frequently using semantic priming, in keeping with early models of memory representation as a semantic network of concept nodes. Contrary to what these models would predict, sensorimotor experiences in multiple modalities have proven capable of...

An important issue in personality is the relationship between the life style of an individual, including his outlook, and his objective characteristics or characteristics of his situation. Certainly it would seem that the wayan individual chooses to construe his environment and his place in it should be related to his own characteristics. Thus, a handsome person might be expected to have quite ...
