  • Multi-Level Constraints
    Multi-Level Constraints Tony Clark1 and Ulrich Frank2 1 Aston University, UK, [email protected] 2 University of Duisburg-Essen, DE, [email protected] Abstract. Meta-modelling and domain-specific modelling languages are supported by multi-level modelling which liberates model-based engi- neering from the traditional two-level type-instance language architec- ture. Proponents of this approach claim that multi-level modelling in- creases the quality of the resulting systems by introducing a second ab- straction dimension and thereby allowing both intra-level abstraction via sub-typing and inter-level abstraction via meta-types. Modelling ap- proaches include constraint languages that are used to express model semantics. Traditional languages, such as OCL, support intra-level con- straints, but not inter-level constraints. This paper motivates the need for multi-level constraints, shows how to implement such a language in a reflexive language architecture and applies multi-level constraints to an example multi-level model. 1 Introduction Conceptual models aim to bridge the gap between natural languages that are required to design and use a system and implementation languages. To this end, general-purpose modelling languages (GPML) like the UML consist of concepts that represent semantic primitives such as class, attribute, etc., that, on the one hand correspond to concepts of foundational ontologies, e.g., [4], and on the other hand can be nicely mapped to corresponding elements of object-oriented programming languages. Since GPML can be used to model a wide range of systems, they promise at- tractive economies of scale. At the same time, their use suffers from the fact that they offer generic concepts only.

Instead, an e-commerce site built upon django-SHOP, always consists of this framework, a bunch of other Django apps and the merchant’s own implementation. While this may seem more complicate than a ready-to-use solution, it gives the programmer enormous advantages during the implementation: Not everything can be “explained” to a software system using graphical user interfaces. After reaching a certain point of complexity, it normally is easier to pour those requirements into executable code, rather than to expect yet another set of configuration buttons. When evaluating django-SHOP with other e-commerce solutions, I therefore suggest to do the following litmus test: Consider a product which shall be sold world-wide. Depending on the country’s origin of the request, use the native language and the local currency. Due to export restrictions, some products can not be sold everywhere. Moreover, in some countries the value added tax is part of the product’s price, and must be stated separately on the invoice, while in other countries, products are advertised using net prices, and tax is added later on the invoice.

We present a rich type system with subtyping for an extension of System F. Our type constructors include sum and product types, universal and existential quanti- fiers, inductive and coinductive types. The latter two may carry annotations allowing the encoding of size invariants that are used to ensure the termination of recursive programs. For example, the termination of quicksort can be derived by showing that partitioning a list does not increase its size. The system deals with complex programs involving mixed induction and coinduction, or even mixed polymorphism and (co-)induction (as for Scott- encoded data types).

  • Categorical Models of Type Theory

A group object in a category is a model of the theory of a group. Then, anything we can prove formally in the theory of a group will be valid for group objects in any category. 5 / 43 Doctrines For each kind of type theory there is a corresponding kind of structured category in which we consider models.

  • Class Notes on Type Inference 2018 Edition Chuck Liang Hofstra University Computer Science
    Class Notes on Type Inference 2018 edition Chuck Liang Hofstra University Computer Science Background and Introduction Many modern programming languages that are designed for applications programming im- pose typing disciplines on the construction of programs. In constrast to untyped languages such as Scheme/Perl/Python/JS, etc, and weakly typed languages such as C, a strongly typed language (C#/Java, Ada, F#, etc ...) place constraints on how programs can be written. A type system ensures that programs observe logical structure. The origins of type theory stretches back to the early twentieth century in the work of Bertrand Russell and Alfred N. Whitehead and their \Principia Mathematica." They observed that our language, if not restrained, can lead to unsolvable paradoxes. Specifically, let's say a mathematician defined S to be the set of all sets that do not contain themselves. That is: S = fall A : A 62 Ag Then it is valid to ask the question does S contain itself (S 2 S?). If the answer is yes, then by definition of S, S is one of the 'A's, and thus S 62 S. But if S 62 S, then S is one of those sets that do not contain themselves, and so it must be that S 2 S! This observation is known as Russell's Paradox. In order to avoid this paradox, the language of mathematics (or any language for that matter) must be constrained so that the set S cannot be defined. This is one of many discoveries that resulted from the careful study of language, logic and meaning that formed the foundation of twentieth century analytical philosophy and abstract mathematics, and also that of computer science.

  • A When and How to Use Multi-Level Modelling
    A When and How to Use Multi-Level Modelling JUAN DE LARA, Universidad Autonoma´ de Madrid (Spain) ESTHER GUERRA, Universidad Autonoma´ de Madrid (Spain) JESUS´ SANCHEZ´ CUADRADO, Universidad Autonoma´ de Madrid (Spain) Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) promotes models as the primary artefacts in the software development process, from which code for the final application is derived. Standard approaches to MDE (like those based on MOF or EMF) advocate a two-level meta-modelling setting where Domain-Specific Modelling Languages (DSMLs) are defined through a meta-model, which is instantiated to build models at the meta-level below. Multi-level modelling – also called deep meta-modelling – extends the standard approach to meta- modelling by enabling modelling at an arbitrary number of meta-levels, not necessarily two. Proposers of multi-level modelling claim that this leads to simpler model descriptions in some situations, although its applicability has been scarcely evaluated. Thus, practitioners may find it difficult to discern when to use it and how to implement multi-level solutions in practice. In this paper, we discuss the situations where the use of multi-level modelling is beneficial, and iden- tify recurring patterns and idioms. Moreover, in order to assess how often the identified patterns arise in practice, we have analysed a wide range of existing two-level DSMLs from different sources and domains, to detect when their elements could be rearranged in more than two meta-levels. The results show that this scenario is not uncommon, while in some application domains (like software architecture and enter- prise/process modelling) is pervasive, with a high average number of pattern occurrences per meta-model.

  • Codata in Action
    Codata in Action Paul Downen1, Zachary Sullivan1, Zena M. Ariola1, and Simon Peyton Jones2 1 University of Oregon, Eugene, USA?? [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK [email protected] Abstract. Computer scientists are well-versed in dealing with data struc- tures. The same cannot be said about their dual: codata. Even though codata is pervasive in category theory, universal algebra, and logic, the use of codata for programming has been mainly relegated to represent- ing infinite objects and processes. Our goal is to demonstrate the ben- efits of codata as a general-purpose programming abstraction indepen- dent of any specific language: eager or lazy, statically or dynamically typed, and functional or object-oriented. While codata is not featured in many programming languages today, we show how codata can be eas- ily adopted and implemented by offering simple inter-compilation tech- niques between data and codata. We believe codata is a common ground between the functional and object-oriented paradigms; ultimately, we hope to utilize the Curry-Howard isomorphism to further bridge the gap. Keywords: codata · lambda-calculi · encodings · Curry-Howard · func- tion programming · object-oriented programming 1 Introduction Functional programming enjoys a beautiful connection to logic, known as the Curry-Howard correspondence, or proofs as programs principle [22]; results and notions about a language are translated to those about proofs, and vice-versa [17]. In addition to expressing computation as proof transformations, this con- nection is also fruitful for education: everybody would understand that the as- sumption \an x is zero" does not mean \every x is zero," which in turn explains the subtle typing rules for polymorphism in programs.
