  • The Cecil Language Specification and Rationale Version 3.2
    The Cecil Language Specification and Rationale Version 3.2 Craig Chambers and the Cecil Group Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Washington Box 352350, Seattle, Washington 98195-2350 USA February, 2004 Abstract Cecil is a purely object-oriented language intended to support rapid construction of high-quality, extensible software. Cecil combines multi-methods with a simple classless object model, a kind of dynamic inheritance, modules, and optional static type checking. Instance variables in Cecil are accessed solely through messages, allowing instance variables to be replaced or overridden by methods and vice versa. Cecil’s predicate objects mechanism allows an object to be classified automatically based on its run-time (mutable) state. Cecil’s static type system distinguishes between subtyping and code inheritance, but Cecil enables these two graphs to be described with a single set of declarations, streamlining the common case where the two graphs are parallel. Cecil includes a fairly flexible form of parameterization, including explicitly parameterized objects, types, and methods, as well as implicitly parameterized methods related to the polymorphic functions commonly found in functional languages. By making type declarations optional, Cecil aims to allow mixing of and migration between exploratory and production programming styles. Cecil supports a module mechanism that enables independently-developed subsystems to be encapsulated, allowing them to be type-checked and reasoned about in isolation despite the presence of multi-methods and subclassing. Objects can be extended externally with additional methods and instance variables, often encapsulated in separate modules, supporting a kind of role- based or subject-oriented programming style. This document mixes the specification of the language with discussions of design issues and explanations of the reasoning that led to various design decisions.

To demonstrate its utility, I used predicate dispatching to enhance Weyl, a computer algebra system which doubles as a CLOS library. My result is Dispatching-Enhanced Weyl (DEW), a computer algebra system that I have demonstrated to be well suited for both users and programmers. Thesis Supervisor: Howard E.

  • A Technical History of Apple's Operating Systems
    A Technical History of Apple’s Operating Systems Amit Singh A Supplementary Document for Chapter 1 from the book Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach. Copyright © Amit Singh. All Rights Reserved. Portions Copyright © Pearson Education. Document Version 2.0.1 (July 28, 2006) Latest version available at http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter1/ This page intentionally left blank. Dear Reader This is a supplementary document for Chapter 1 from my book Mac OS X In- ternals: A Systems Approach. A subset (about 30%) of this document ap- pears in the book as the first chapter with the title Origins of Mac OS X. This document is titled A Technical History of Apple’s Operating Systems. Whereas the book’s abridged version covers the history of Mac OS X, this document’s coverage is considerably broader. It encompasses not only Mac OS X and its relevant ancestors, but the various operating systems that Apple has dabbled with since the company’s inception, and many other systems that were direct or indirect sources of inspiration. This was the first chapter I wrote for the book. It was particularly difficult to write in terms of the time and other resources required in researching the mate- rial. I often had to find and scavenge ancient documentation, software, and hardware (all actual screenshots shown in this document were captured first hand.) However, I couldn’t include the chapter in its original form in the book. The book grew in size beyond everybody’s expectations—1680 pages! There- fore, it was hard to justify the inclusion of this much history, even if it is inter- esting history.

Stoyan collected these materials during his career as a researcher and professor, beginning in the former German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik) and moving to the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) in 1981. Types of material collected by Stoyan include memoranda, manuals, technical reports, published and unpublished papers, source program listings, computer media (tapes and flexible diskettes), promotional material, and correspondence. The collection also includes manuscripts of several books written by Stoyan and a small quantity of his personal papers.

    Published by The Internet-First University Press The Early Years of Academic Computing: A Collection of Memoirs Edited by William Y. Arms and Kenneth M. King This is a collection of reflections/memoirs concerning the early years of academic computing, emphasizing the period from the 1950s to the 1990s when universities developed their own com- puting environments. Cornell University Initial Release: June 2014 Increment 01: April 2016 Increment 02-04: April 2017 NOTE: This is the first part of a set of memoirs to be published by The Internet-First University Press. This book – http://hdl.handle.net/1813/36810 Books and Articles Collection – http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/63 The Internet-First University Press – http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/62 An Incremental Book Publisher’s Note This is the second Internet-First publication in a new publishing genre, an ‘Incremental Book’ that becomes feasible due to the Internet. Unlike paper-first book publishing – in which each contribution is typically held in abeyance until all parts are complete, and only then presented to the reading public as part of a single enti- ty – with Internet publishing, book segments (Increments) can be released when finalized. Book parts may be published as they become available. We anticipate releasing updated editions from time-to-time (using dat- ed, rather than numbered editions) that incorporate these increments. These digital collections may be freely downloaded for personal use, or may be ordered as bound copies, at user expense, from Cornell Business Ser- vices (CBS) Digital Services by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or calling 607.255.2524.
