Description

The main objective of the course is the presentation and study of special advanced and modern topics: (a) design and implementation of programming languages and integrated development environments with an emphasis on dynamic languages and domain specific languages, and (b) software technology with an emphasis on metaprogramming, generic programming, advanced design patterns and self-adaptation.
In programming languages emphasis will be given to the following topics:
1. Classes and Inheritance - class-based / object-based inheritance, typed / untyped inheritance, mixin inheritance, classes / prototypes, object protocols, construction / destruction, garbage collection, finalizers.
2. Languages in a language - syntax patterns, grammar emulation, rapid design, semantics implementation.
3. Integrated development environments - circular extensibility, remote deployment, multiple languages, source level debugger, code visualizers.
4. Virtual machines - lookup caching, garbage collection, debugger linkage, instruction set design, just-in-time compilation, concurrency support.
In software technology emphasis will be placed on the following topics:
1. Metaprogramming - meta-programs, compile-time meta-programming (CTMP), staged languages andrun time code generation, quasi quotes and meta-level shifting.
2. Generic programming - generic algorithms, type parameterization, concepts and constraints, concept lifting, associated types, retroactive modeling.
3. Design patterns - lazy initialization, object recycler, template method, studying patterns for missing language features like State, Decorator, Visitor and Iterator
4. Self-adaptation - autonomic systems, self-management, adaptive systems, self-reasoning, adaptive dynamic assembly
