Cilk: An Efficient Multithreaded Runtime System

by Robert D. Blumofe , Christopher F. Joerg, Bradley C. Kuszmaul, Charles E. Leiserson, Keith H. Randall, Yuli Zhou - JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING , 1995
"... Cilk (pronounced "silk") is a C-based runtime system for multithreaded parallel programming. In this paper, we document the efficiency of the Cilk work-stealing scheduler, both empirically and analytically. We show that on real and synthetic applications, the "work" and "cri ..."

A Survey of Program Slicing Techniques

by F. Tip - JOURNAL OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES , 1995
"... A program slice consists of the parts of a program that (potentially) affect the values computed at some point of interest, referred to as a slicing criterion. The task of computing program slices is called program slicing. The original definition of a program slice was presented by Weiser in 197 ..."

Eliciting self-explanations improves understanding

by Michelene T. H. Chi, Nicholas De Leeuw, Mei-hung Chiu, Christian Lavancher - Cognitive Science , 1994
"... Learning involves the integration of new information into existing knowledge. Generoting explanations to oneself (self-explaining) facilitates that integration process. Previously, self-explanation has been shown to improve the acquisition of problem-solving skills when studying worked-out examples. ..."

the pretest to the posttest. Moreover, prompted students who generated o large number of self-explanations (the high explainers) learned with greater understanding than low explainers. Understanding was assessed by answering very complex questions and inducing the function of a component when it was only

Literate programming

An Overview of the C++ Programming Language

by Bjarne Stroustrup , 1999
"... This overview of C++ presents the key design, programming, and language-technical concepts using examples to give the reader a feel for the language. C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias towards systems programming that supports efficient low-level computation, data abstraction, ..."

Concurrent Constraint Programming

by Vijay A. Saraswat, Martin Rinard , 1993
"... This paper presents a new and very rich class of (con-current) programming languages, based on the notion of comput.ing with parhal information, and the con-commitant notions of consistency and entailment. ’ In this framework, computation emerges from the inter-action of concurrently executing agent ..."

Genetic Programming

by John R. Koza , 1997
"... Introduction Genetic programming is a domain-independent problem-solving approach in which computer programs are evolved to solve, or approximately solve, problems. Genetic programming is based on the Darwinian principle of reproduction and survival of the fittest and analogs of naturally occurring ..."

The eyes have it: A task by data type taxonomy for information visualizations

by Ben Shneiderman - IN IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON VISUAL LANGUAGES , 1996
"... A useful starting point for designing advanced graphical user interjaces is the Visual lnformation-Seeking Mantra: overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand. But this is only a starting point in trying to understand the rich and varied set of information visualizations that have been ..."
