The declarative style as a way to unify the object-oriented and concurrent paradigm of programming

Objective



While the theory of object-orientation and the theory of concurrency have been widely and intensively studied, and now they are very well known and under control, the attempts to integrate these two different views of systems have been recent and with little success. The necessity of having object-oriented concurrent languages is universally accepted since now it is clear that concurrent or object-oriented languages have an expressivity which is insufficient as an extension of the project 'Integrating static and dynamic aspects in the specification of object-oriented and concurrent distributed systems' - Human Capital and Mobility Cat 20. fellowship, contract ERBCHBICT941002, proposal ERB4001GT931544.
With respect to other approaches towards the integration of
object-orientation and concurrency, our approach is distinguished to the extent that we have a larger view of the so-called 'object paradigm' which, for us, consists of specification, programming and refinement in the context of objects, classes, inheritance and concurrency.
Our approach towards this larger integration is algebraic, with the declarative style based on equational reasoning as the way to express both the object-oriented and the concurrent view. There are several reasons for preferring an algebraic approach. Perhaps the most compelling is the extensive algorithmic for term rewriting, unification, narrowing and completion, and theorems for the completeness of equational reasoning with respect to algebras, and the soundness of constructor induction.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
