First, the type corresponding to on-demand production of ele- ments is called a source (Src). An adaptation of the first code ex- ample above to use sources would look as follows, and give the guarantee that the composition does not allocate more memory than the sum of its components. 1 This expectation is expressed in a Stack Overflow question, accessi- ble at this URL: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/296792/haskell-io-and- [Copyright notice will appear here once ’preprint’ option is removed.] closing-files Sumitted to IFL 2015 1 2016/3/1 f :: Src a !

For example, the standard output is naturally given a We begin by assuming a type of effects Eff , which we keep sink type: abstract for now. We can then define negation as follows: type N a = a ! Eff stdoutSnk :: Snk String A shortcut for double negations is also convenient. Using it, we can implement the printing of a file as follows, and type NN a = N (N a) guarantee the timely release of resources, even in the presence of exceptions: The basic idea (imported from classical logic) pervading this paper is that producing a result of type α is equivalent to consuming an main = fileSrc "foo" `fwd` stdoutSnk argument of type Nα. Dually, consuming an argument of type α is equivalent to producing a result of type Nα. In this paper we call In the above fileSrc provides the contents of a file, and fwd for- these equivalences the duality principle. wards data from a source to a sink. The types are as follows: In classical logic, negation is involutive; that is: NN α = α fileSrc :: FilePath ! Src String However, because we work within Haskell, we do not have this 2 fwd :: Src a ! Snk a ! IO () equality . We can come close enough though. First, double nega- tions can always be introduced, using the shift operator: Sources provide data on-demand, while sinks decide when they are shift :: a ! NN a ready to consume data. This is an instance of the push/pull duality. shift x k = k x In general, push-streams control the flow of computation, while pull-streams respond to it. We will see that this polarization does Second, it is possible to remove double negations, but only if not need to match the flow of data. We support in particular data an effect can be outputted. Equivalently, triple negations can be sources with push-flavor, called co-sources (CoSrc). Co-sources collapsed to a single one: are useful for example when a data stream needs precise control unshift :: N (NN a) ! N a over the execution of effects it embeds (sec Sec. 6). For example, unshift k x = k (shift x) sources cannot be demultiplexed, but co-sources can. In a program which uses both sources and co-sources, the need The above two functions are the return and join of the double might arise to compose a function which returns a co-source with negation monad3; indeed adding a double negation in the type cor- a function which takes a source as input: this is the situation where responds to sending the return value to its consumer.

  • Interleaving Data and Effects"
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ Interleaving data and effects By: Robert Atkey and Patricia Johann Abstract: The study of programming with and reasoning about inductive datatypes such as lists and trees has benefited from the simple categorical principle of initial algebras. In initial algebra semantics, each inductive datatype is represented by an initial f-algebra for an appropriate functor f. The initial algebra principle then supports the straightforward derivation of definitional principles and proof principles for these datatypes. This technique has been expanded to a whole methodology of structured functional programming, often called origami programming.In this article we show how to extend initial algebra semantics from pure inductive datatypes to inductive datatypes interleaved with computational effects. Inductive datatypes interleaved with effects arise naturally in many computational settings. For example, incrementally reading characters from a file generates a list of characters interleaved with input/output actions, and lazily constructed infinite values can be represented by pure data interleaved with the possibility of non-terminating computation. Straightforward application of initial algebra techniques to effectful datatypes leads either to unsound conclusions if we ignore the possibility of effects, or to unnecessarily complicated reasoning because the pure and effectful concerns must be considered simultaneously. We show how pure and effectful concerns can be separated using the abstraction of initial f-and-m-algebras, where the functor f describes the pure part of a datatype and the monad m describes the interleaved effects. Because initial f-and-m-algebras are the analogue for the effectful setting of initial f- algebras, they support the extension of the standard definitional and proof principles to the effectful setting.

  • A Real-Time Reactive Platform for Data Integration and Event Stream Processing
    DEGREE PROJECT, IN INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE SYSTEMS / COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING , SECOND LEVEL STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2014 A Real-Time Reactive Platform for Data Integration and Event Stream Processing ALEXANDRE TAMBORRINO KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY A Real-Time Reactive platform for Data Integration and Event Stream Processing ALEXANDRE TAMBORRINO Master’s Thesis at Zengularity, examined by KTH ICT Supervisor: Antoine Michel Examiner: Vladimir Vlassov TRITA xxx yyyy-nn Abstract This thesis presents a Real-time Reactive platform for Data Integration and Event Stream Processing. The Data Inte- gration part is composed of data pullers that incrementally pull data changes from REST data sources and propagates them as streams of immutable events across the system ac- cording to the Event-Sourcing principle. The Stream Pro- cessing part is a Tree-like structure of event-sourced stream processors where a processor can react in various ways to events sent by its parent and send derived sub-streams of events to child processors. A processor use case is main- taining a pre-computed view on aggregated data, which allows to define low read latency business dashboards that are updated in real-time. The platform follows the Reac- tive architecture principles to maximize performance and minimize resource consumption using an asynchronous non- blocking architecture with an adaptive push-pull stream processing model with automatic back-pressure. Moreover, the platform uses functional programming abstractions for simple and composable asynchronous programming. Per- formance tests have been performed on a prototype applica- tion, which validates the architecture model by showing ex- pected performance patterns concerning event latency be- tween the top of the processing tree and the leaves, and expected fault-tolerance behaviours with acceptable recov- ery times.

Hughes published an article entitled 'Why Functional Programming Matters', that has now been one of the most recent references in the field.Safe programming defines the method used by software engineers to include multiple safety mechanism for their system.Secure programming can be broken down into two subgroups to analyse its correlation with software design: access control, secure programme initialization, input validation, cryptography, secure networking, secure random number generation, and anti-tampering. In this paper we provide a review of various functional programming in Haskell for encryption. The inkling of functional programming is to make programming more closely related to mathematics. We describe crucial features and trade-offs that has to be well-thought-out while selecting the right method for secure computation. Keywords: Secure Computation,Cryptography, Haskell, Functional programming 1. Introduction In the internet age, all the interactive and computing devices are interconnected across global and private networks. A vast majority of public and private agencies depend upon information system for their mission critical operations.
