Mercoledì 18 Febbraio 2015 in Aula ERCOLANI 3, Mura Anteo Zamboni 2b, Bologna, alle ore 12:00 si terrà il seminario "Concurrency theory and concurrent languages: an evolutionary view of programming abstractions" tenuto da Silvia Crafa dell'Università di Padova.
Abstract:
In this talk I will review the history of popular programming languages from an evolutionary perspective, focusing on the so-called quest for good programming abstractions. In particular, I will discuss the different abstraction levels involved in present-day concurrent and distributed programming, commenting on the role of concurrency theory.
The general aim is pointing out a number of remarks in order to grasp a unifying, but not simplistic, view of concurrency.
