Program Description and Relationship to System-Level Goals A. Briefly describe within a few paragraphs the degree program under consideration, including (a) level; (b) emphases, including concentrations, tracks, or specializations; (c) total number of credit hours; and (d) overall purpose, including examples of employment or education opportunities that may be available to program graduates. The University of West Florida (UWF) seeks to offer a stand-alone Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree program (BSCS). The undergraduate degree program of 120 semester credit hours will be delivered in traditional, face-to-face format on the main Pensacola campus. The BSCS degree program will have two concentrations, one in artificial intelligence and one in software engineering. The Computer Science Department at UWF currently offers a specialization in Computer Science in the Computing and Information Sciences degree program. The stand-alone BSCS degree program will replace in purpose and resource use the current Computer Science specialization. The BSCS degree program is broadly designed to prepare students who seek entry-level work in the rapidly expanding field of Computer Science and Information Technology. The stand-alone BSCS degree program results from a departmental reorganization of degree programs. The change from a Computer Science specialization in the Computing and Infromation Systems degree program (CIP code 11.0101) to a stand-alone Computer Science degree program (CIP code 11.0701) is proposed for the following reasons: 1. Making the BSCS a stand-alone degree program allows the department to pursue accreditation with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Incorporated (ABET). 2. Students and employers are often confused by specializations. A stand-alone BSCS degree program is well understood and well respected by students and employers. 3. There is high demand by the public and private sector for graduates with a BSCS degree with universities not producing enough graduates to meet demand. The Florida Board of Governors has recognized the need to expand Computer Science education and research within the state and in response, established the concept of Programs of Strategic Emphasis. The BSCS degree program meets all criteria pertaining to Programs of Strategic Emphasis. B. Please provide the date when the pre-proposal was presented to CAVP (Council of Academic Vice Presidents) Academic Program Coordination review group. Identify any concerns that the CAVP review group raised with the pre-proposed program and provide a brief narrative explaining how each of these concerns has been or is being addressed. During its October 5, 2017, conference call, the CAVP workgroup expressed no concerns with the BSCS degree program in Computer Science, 11.0701. 3 C. If this is a doctoral level program please include the external consultant’s report at the end of the proposal as Appendix D. Please provide a few highlights from the report and describe ways in which the report affected the approval process at the university. Not applicable, the BSCS degree program is an undergraduate degree. D. Describe how the proposed program is consistent with the current State University System (SUS) Strategic Planning Goals. Identify which specific goals the program will directly support and which goals the program will indirectly support (see link to the SUS Strategic Plan on the resource page for new program proposal). Specific sections from the SUS Strategic Plan 2012-2025 that apply to the program, and to the reason for the change from a specialization to a stand-alone degree program, include the following: Quality Assurance through Academic Program Review and Accreditation A strategic goal of the Board of Governors is to assure high quality programs through program review and accreditation. On this topic, the Board of Governors’ website (http://www.flbog.edu/board/office/asa/apra.php) reads: “Well aligned with regional and discipline-specific accreditation expectations, program review processes in the State University System must emphasize the assessment of student learning outcomes and continuous program improvement.” This statement is perfectly congruent with the aims of ABET accreditation for the stand-alone degree program. The program’s ultimate attainment of ABET accreditation will formalize ongoing processes of careful assessment of student learning outcomes and continuous program improvements. A curriculum cannot initially become ABET accredited nor can it maintain ABET accreditation without careful assessment and continuous improvement. Teaching and Learning – Increase the Number of Degrees Awarded in STEM: The BSCS degree program is being created from a specialization, and is listed in the State University System of Florida (SUS) Programs of Strategic Emphasis under Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The BSCS degree program is clearly aligned with the SUS Strategic Planning Goals. The program will give students an extensive background in computer science. The BSCS degree program will provide students with preparation for entry into graduate school studies and it will afford substantial employment opportunities in government, industry, and with non-governmental organizations. State universities seek to respond to workforce demands for graduates with specific knowledge and skills. Specifically, university goals are being set to increase the number of graduates with degrees in the STEM fields. The BSCS degree program directly supports this goal. 4 Florida must become more competitive in the national and global economy. To accomplish this goal, the state must increase the educational attainment levels of its citizens and the state universities must respond by awarding more degrees in specific high demand programs, particularly the STEM disciplines. As a STEM discipline, the BSCS degree program helps the state accomplish this goal. Strategic Priorities for a Knowledge Economy As a part of its previous strategic planning activities, the Florida Board of Governors, in conjunction with Florida’s leading economic and workforce councils, approved areas of programmatic strategic emphasis for targeting degree programs in the State University System. This list of programs includes certain Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs and programs with critical and/or economic development needs or emerging technologies that serve to assist the state universities in planning for a degree program array that addresses both workforce and student demands. E. If the program is to be included in a category within the Programs of Strategic Emphasis as described in the SUS Strategic Plan, please indicate the category and the justification for inclusion. The program provides preparation for entry into Computer Science and Information Technology employment. The BSCS degree program, CIP code 11.0701, is listed in the Programs of Strategic Emphasis (PSE) under: 3 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Please see the Programs of Strategic Emphasis (PSE) methodology for additional explanations on program inclusion criteria at the resource page for new program proposal. F. Identify any established or planned educational sites at which the program is expected to be offered and indicate whether it will be offered only at sites other than the main campus. The program will be offered in the traditional, face-to face format, on UWF’s main Pensacola campus. INSTITUTIONAL AND STATE LEVEL ACCOUNTABILITY II. Need and Demand A. Need: Describe national, state, and/or local data that support the need for more people to be prepared in this program at this level. Reference national, state, and/or local plans or reports that support the need for this program and requests for the proposed program which have emanated from a perceived need by 5 agencies or industries in your service area. Cite any specific need for research and service that the program would fulfill. As the BSCS degree program is replacing in purpose and resource use an existing undergraduate specialization, it is not addressing a new need and is not a new program beyond those currently being offered.

  • The Circle Meta-Model
    Document:P2062R0 Revises: (original) Date: 01-11-2020 Audience: SG7 Authors: Wyatt Childers ([email protected]) ​ ​ Andrew Sutton ([email protected]) ​ ​ Faisal Vali ([email protected]) Daveed Vandevoorde ([email protected]) The Circle Meta-model Introduction During the November 2019 meeting in Belfast, some of the SG7 participants enthusiastically mentioned Circle1 as providing a more intuitive compile-time programming model and suggested that SG7 investigate overhauling the de-facto SG7 approach (P1240+P17332) to follow Circle's ​ ​ ​ general approach (to reflection and metaprogramming). This paper describes a framework for understanding metaprogramming systems and provides a high-level overview of some of Circle's main characteristics, contrasting them to P1240's ​ ​ approach augmented with an injection mechanism along the lines of P1717. ​ ​ While we appreciate some of Circle’s powerful capabilities, we also raise some concerns with its underlying model and provide arguments in support of P1240’s choices as being a more ​ ​ suitable fit for C++’s evolution. The Dimensions of Reflective Programming In P0633, we identified three “dimensions” of compile-time reflective metaprogramming: ​ ​ 1. Control: How are compile-time computations effected/interpreted? What are metaprograms? 2. Reflection: How are source constructs are made available as data for use in metaprograms? 3. Synthesis: How can “code” be generated from a programmatic representation? 1 https://www.circle-lang.org/ Circle is an impressive project: Sean Baxter developed a brand new ​ ​ C++17-like front end on top of LLVM, incorporating a variety of new compile-time capabilities that align closely with SG7's goals.

  • Directly Reflective Meta-Programming
    Directly Reflective Meta-Programming ∗ Aaron Stump Computer Science and Engineering Washington University in St. Louis St. Louis, Missouri, USA [email protected] Abstract Existing meta-programming languages operate on encodings of pro- grams as data. This paper presents a new meta-programming language, based on an untyped lambda calculus, in which structurally reflective pro- gramming is supported directly, without any encoding. The language fea- tures call-by-value and call-by-name lambda abstractions, as well as novel reflective features enabling the intensional manipulation of arbitrary pro- gram terms. The language is scope safe, in the sense that variables can neither be captured nor escape their scopes. The expressiveness of the language is demonstrated by showing how to implement quotation and evaluation operations, as proposed by Wand. The language's utility for meta-programming is further demonstrated through additional represen- tative examples. A prototype implementation is described and evaluated. Keywords: lambda calculus, reflection, meta-programming, Church en- coding, Mogensen-Scott encoding, Wand-style fexprs, alpha equivalence, language implementation. 1 Introduction This paper presents a new meta-programming language called Archon, in which programs can operate directly on other programs as data. Existing meta- programming languages suffer from defects such as encoding programs at too low a level of abstraction, or in a way that bloats the encoded program terms. Other issues include the possibility for variables either to be captured or escape their static scopes. Archon rectifies these defects by trading the complexity of the reflective encoding for additional programming constructs. We adopt ∗This work is supported by funding from the U.S.

  • Open Programming Language Interpreters
    Open Programming Language Interpreters Walter Cazzolaa and Albert Shaqiria a Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Abstract Context: This paper presents the concept of open programming language interpreters, a model to support them and a prototype implementation in the Neverlang framework for modular development of programming languages. Inquiry: We address the problem of dynamic interpreter adaptation to tailor the interpreter’s behaviour on the task to be solved and to introduce new features to fulfil unforeseen requirements. Many languages provide a meta-object protocol (MOP) that to some degree supports reflection. However, MOPs are typically language-specific, their reflective functionality is often restricted, and the adaptation and application logic are often mixed which hardens the understanding and maintenance of the source code. Our system overcomes these limitations. Approach: We designed a model and implemented a prototype system to support open programming language interpreters. The implementation is integrated in the Neverlang framework which now exposes the structure, behaviour and the runtime state of any Neverlang-based interpreter with the ability to modify it. Knowledge: Our system provides a complete control over interpreter’s structure, behaviour and its runtime state. The approach is applicable to every Neverlang-based interpreter. Adaptation code can potentially be reused across different language implementations. Grounding: Having a prototype implementation we focused on feasibility evaluation. The paper shows that our approach well addresses problems commonly found in the research literature. We have a demon- strative video and examples that illustrate our approach on dynamic software adaptation, aspect-oriented programming, debugging and context-aware interpreters. Importance: Our paper presents the first reflective approach targeting a general framework for language development.

  • Reflective Designs
    Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science 127 (2005) 55–58 www.elsevier.com/locate/entcs Reflective Designs — An Overview Robert Hirschfeld1 DoCoMo Communications Laboratories Europe Munich, Germany Ralf L¨ammel2 Vrije Universiteit & Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract We render runtime system adaptations by design-level concepts such that running systems can be adapted and examined at a higher level of abstraction. The overall idea is to express design decisions as applications of design operators to be carried out at runtime. Design operators can implement design patterns for use at runtime. Applications of design operators are made explicit as design elements in the running system such that they can be traced, reconfigured, and made undone. Our approach enables Reflective Designs: on one side, design operators employ reflection to perform runtime adaptations; on the other side, design elements provide an additional reflection protocol to examine and configure performed adaptations. Our approach helps understanding the development and the maintenance of the class of software systems that cannot tolerate downtime or frequent shutdown-revise-startup cycles. We have accumulated a class library for programming with Reflective Designs in Squeak/Smalltalk. This library employs reflection and dynamic aspect-oriented programming. We have also implemented tool support for navigating in a system that is adapted continuously at runtime. Note: This extended abstract summarises our full paper [7].

Cheriton School of Computer Science University of Waterloo [apokluda | mfbari | r5ahmed | rboutaba]@uwaterloo.ca 2American University of Beirut [email protected] University of Waterloo Technical Report: CS-2013-15∗ ∗This report is a modified version of an internal technical report produced for Orange Labs, the project's sponsor. The original technical report was submitted to Orange Labs in August 2013. Abstract During the main phase of this project we identified and provided solution for the major challenges related to peer-to-peer (P2P) web hosting. More specifically, our solutions for naming, availability, ranking, indexing and dynamic web-hosting have been provided in previous reports. In this report we present a more concrete view of the pWeb infrastructure and address the issues related to a real-life deployment of the system. First we provide an overview of the light-weight P2P communication protocol between pWeb clients for signaling and media streaming in Part I. In Part II we provide an architectural overview of pWeb system and show the mapping of the abstract components in pWeb architec- ture to real life devices and technologies. In order to make pWeb compatible with the existing Web technology we have developed a DNS gateway. In Part II Section 3, we provide the design and implementation of this DNS gateway. For efficient indexing and fast discovery of end-user devices and multimedia content, we have developed a cloud-based solution for crawling, indexing and searching.
