" Gebraucht - Gut Verlagsmängelex., XVIII, 420 pp. In this book, a programming model is developed that addresses the fundamental issues of \"large-scale programming,\" unifying several concepts from database theory, object-oriented programming and designs of reactive systems. The model and the associated theory have been christened \"Seuss.\" The major goal of Seuss is to simplify multiprogramming. To this end, we separate the concern of concurrent implementation from the core program design problem. A program execution is understood as a single thread of control - sequential executions of actions that are chosen according to some scheduling policy - yet program implementation permits concurrent executions of multiple threads. As a consequence, it is possible to reason about the properties of a program from its single execution thread, whereas an implementation may exploit the inherent concurrency for efficient execution.

A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The new book addresses the problem of developing distributed applications on wide-area networks, such as the internet and world wide web. Computer scientists, computer engineers, and software engineers will find the book offers an authoritative guide to large- scale multiprogramming concepts for wide-area computing.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this book, a programming model is developed that addresses the fundamental issues of 'large-scale programming'. The approach unifies several concepts from database theory, object-oriented programming and designs of reactive systems. The model and the associated theory has been christened "Seuss." The major goal of Seuss is to simplify multiprogramming. To this end, the concern of concurrent implementation is separated from the core program design problem. A program execution is understood as a single thread of control - sequential executions of actions that are chosen according to some scheduling policy. As a consequence, it is possible to reason about the properties of a program from its single execution thread.
