    Conference Programme Sunday 20th October – Thursday 24th October 2013 User Conference 2013 Welcome to the Dyalog User Conference 2013 at Deerfield Beach, Florida All of the presentation and workshop materials are available on the Dyalog 2013 Conference Attendee website at http:/conference.dyalog.com/. Details of the username and password for this site can be found in your conference registration pack. This website is available throughout the conference and will remain available for a short time afterwards – it will be updated as and when necessary. We will be recording the presentations with the intention of uploading the videos to the Internet. For this reason, please do not ask questions during the sessions until you have been passed the microphone. It would help the presenters if you can wait until the Q&A session that concludes each presentation to ask your questions. If your question can't wait, or if the presenter specifically states that questions are welcome throughout, then please raise your hand to indicate that you need the microphone. All of Dyalog's presenters are happy to answer specific questions relating to their topics at any time after their presentation. Scavenger Hunt Have fun and get to know the other delegates by participating in the scavenger hunt that is running throughout Dyalog '13. The hunt runs until 18:30 on Wednesday and prizes will be awarded at the Banquet. Team assignments, rules and the scavenger hunt list will be handed out at registration. Guests are welcome to join in as well as conference delegates. Good luck and happy hunting! For practical information, see the back cover If you have any questions not related to APL, please ask Karen.

  • The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave
    The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave by Cisco Wheeler and Fritz Springmeier Here is a remarkable and powerful book. Save it. Copy it., Give it to friends and therapists for compassionate work. You now have in your hands the very tools that can deprogram the dream. Once you know this, and you absorb its implications, you can no longer be blind folded. By reading this, you may be helping millions of monarch slaves . These techniques only work by our ignorance of knowing them. Herein, let us apply the Heart to the mind, and awaken a Middle Way, by infiltrating another piece of the cancer of sleep, as All Is God in Action. Dedication This book is dedicated to the two million Americans and counting who have been programmed with Monarch-type trauma-based mind control. This book is written to destroy trauma-based mind control before it destroys the human race. It’s time for this horrendous secret to end. Blood, sweat and tears are associated with this book. The blood of the innocent victims of this mind- control cries out in a single unison, along with the pungent sweat of those who have tried to minister help to the shattered humanity left by the sadistic programmers, and the pools of tears shed as this book was written, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on earth?" WARNING, READ THIS FIRST BEFORE READING THE BOOK. IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE you the reader have had mind-control done to you, you must consider the following book to be DANGEROUS.

  • Method of Paradigmatic Analysis of Programming Languages and Systems
    Method of Paradigmatic Analysis of Programming Languages and Systems Lidia Gorodnyaya1,2[0000-0002-4639-9032] 1 A.P. Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems (IIS), 6, Acad. Lavrentjev pr., Novosibirsk 630090, Russia 2 Novosibirsk State University, Pirogov str., 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia [email protected] Abstract. The purpose of the article is to describe the method of comparison of programming languages, convenient for assessing the expressive power of languages and the complexity of the programming systems. The method is adapted to substantiate practical, objective criteria of program decomposition, which can be considered as an approach to solving the problem of factorization of very complicated definitions of programming languages and their support systems. In addition, the article presents the results of the analysis of the most well-known programming paradigms and outlines an approach to navigation in the modern expanding space of programming languages, based on the classification of paradigms on the peculiarities of problem statements and semantic characteristics of programming languages and systems with an emphasis on the criteria for the quality of programs and priorities in decision- making in their implementation. The proposed method can be used to assess the complexity of programming, especially if supplemented by dividing the requirements of setting tasks in the fields of application into academic and industrial, and by the level of knowledge into clear, developed and complicated difficult to certify requirements. Keywords: Definition of Programming Languages, Programming Paradigms, Definition Decomposition Criteria, Semantic Systems 1 Introduction Descriptions of modern programming languages (PL) usually contain a list of 5-10 predecessors and a number of programming paradigms (PP) supported by the language [1,2].

  • Forgotten APL Influences
    Forgotten APL Influences Jon McGrew Forgotten APL Influences Each of these conferences typically focus on the future, rather than simply reviewing the past and rehash what we did years ago. I appreciate that. However, because this is the 50th anniversary of APL, my presentation is going to talk about history. I realized that there are a lot of things from the past for which APL really should get high marks, some of which seem to be forgotten. These are places where APL has really made its mark and made an influence in the world around us, but it may have been forgotten that APL was ever involved with that. We all use instant messaging, word processors, and spreadsheets… but are you aware that these all have links to APL? 1 Before I get into that, I have a list of Thank You’s, and one of the things that I will start with is workspace 1 CLEANSPACE. I put out an APL newsletter in the 1970s and ’80s, internal to IBM, called The APLJot Dot Times, and in the mid-1970s, I wrote an ar- ticle for it about the history of APL at that time, and one question that I wanted to ad- dress was, “When was APL ‘born’ ? ” Figure: “A Programming Language” textbook, 1962 That turned out to be a more complicated question than I had expected, so finding a There are so many dates that we could have good answer became kind of a quest for a chosen for this—all of them reasonable.

    The Language List - Version 2.4, January 23, 1995 Collected information on about 2350 computer languages, past and present. Available online as: http://cui_www.unige.ch/langlist ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/doc/misc/lang-list.txt Maintained by: Bill Kinnersley Computer Science Department University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045 [email protected] Started Mar 7, 1991 by Tom Rombouts <[email protected]> This document is intended to become one of the longest lists of computer programming languages ever assembled (or compiled). Its purpose is not to be a definitive scholarly work, but rather to collect and provide the best information that we can in a timely fashion. Its accuracy and completeness depends on the readers of Usenet, so if you know about something that should be added, please help us out. Hundreds of netters have already contributed to this effort. We hope that this list will continue to evolve as a useful resource available to everyone on the net with an interest in programming languages. "YOU LEFT OUT LANGUAGE ___!" If you have information about a language that is not on this list, please e-mail the relevant details to the current maintainer, as shown above. If you can cite a published reference to the language, that will help in determining authenticity. What Languages Should Be Included The "Published" Rule - A language should be "published" to be included in this list. There is no precise criterion here, but for example a language devised solely for the compiler course you're taking doesn't count. Even a language that is the topic of a PhD thesis might not necessarily be included.
