An attempt to use the Times macro, [2], was the origin of writing this article. First, the semantics of the macro composition as developed in [23, 3, 4] is extended to the case of macro instructions which are not always halting. Next, several functors extending the memory handling for SCMFSA, [18], are defined; they are convenient when writing more complicated programs. After this preparatory w...

A notational system for use in writing translation routines and related programs is described. The system is specially designed to be convenient for the linguist so that he can do his own programming. Programs in this notation can be converted into computer programs automatically by the computer. This article presents complete instructions for using the notation and includes some illustrative p...

PURPOSE A stepwise process for planning, writing, and submitting a research manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal is described. SUMMARY The research project and writing-related activities should be conducted concurrently along a clear timeline developed with input from all members of the writing team. Issues of conformance to standards of scholarly publishing (e.g., ordering of the author lis...

The proceedings, working notes, or technical report will be printed directly from camera-ready copy furnished by the authors. To ensure that all papers in the publication have a uniform appearance, authors should adhere to the following instructions. (Authors who are only writing an extended abstract need not include an abstract of their

The C and C++ high-level languages provide programmers with atomic operations for writing highperformance concurrent code. At the assembly language level, C and C++ atomics get mapped down to individual instructions or combinations of instructions by compilers, depending on the ordering guarantees and synchronization instructions provided by the underlying architecture. These compiler mappings ...

In 1990, Ford Body & Assembly Operations introduced Standard Language as a requirement for writing process sheet assembly instructions in North America. Standard Language was created to standardize the process sheet assembly instructions and introduce consistency across the entire manufacturing spectrum at Ford Motor Company. Standard Language is a Ford-specific, restricted subset of English th...

We argue it is better to program in a natural language such as English, instead of a programming language like Java. A natural language interface for programming should result in greater readability, as well as making possible a more intuitive way of writing code. In contrast to previous controlled language systems, we allow unrestricted syntax, using wide-coverage syntactic and semantic method...

This paper presents an infrastructure that uses program phase behaviour and brings together the advantages of simulation and physical measurement to capture detailed program power behaviour. Based on the direct correlation between instructions-per-cycle and power dissipation for the same piece of code, we refine the phase classification used in SimPoint to improve the similarity among the inter...

This paper reports on a preliminary study on second language (L2) learners’ interlanguage pragmatic (ILP) development in academic written discourse by examining how epistemic modality is used by non-native speaker (NNS) writers compared with NS writers in both native speaker (NS) and NNS corpus data. This study also investigates how NNS writers gradually develop interlanguage pragmatic competen...
