This volume contains the papers which have been accepted for presentation atthe Third International Symposium on Programming Language Implementation andLogic Programming (PLILP '91) held in Passau, Germany, August 26-28, 1991. The aim of the symposium was to explore new declarative concepts, methods and techniques relevant for the implementation of all kinds of programming languages, whether algorithmic or declarative ones. The intention was to gather researchers from the fields of algorithmic programming languages as well as logic, functional and object-oriented programming. This volume contains the two invited talks given at the symposium by H. Ait-Kaci and D.B. MacQueen, 32 selected papers, and abstracts of several system demonstrations. The proceedings of PLILP '88 and PLILP '90 are available as Lecture Notes in Computer Science Volumes 348 and 456.

This book describes an ongoing equational programming project that started in 1975. Within the project an equational programming language interpreter has been designed and implemented. The first part of the text (Chapters 1-10) provides a user's manual for the current implementation. The remaining sections cover the following topics: programming techniques and applications, theoretical foundations, implementation issues. Giving a brief account of the project's history (Chapter 11), the author devotes a large part of the text to techniques of equational programming at different levels of abstraction. Chapter 12 discusses low-level techniques including the distinction of constructors and defined functions, the formulation of conditional expressions and error and exception handling. High-level techniques are treated in Chapter 15 by discussing concurrency, nondeterminism, the relationship to dataflow programs and the transformation of recursive programs called dynamic programming. In Chapter 16 the author shows how to efficiently implement common data structures by equational programs. Modularity is discussed in Chapter 14. Several applications are also presented in the book. The author demonstrates the versatility of equational programming style by implementing syntactic manipulation algorithms (Chapter 13). Theoretical foundations are introduced in Chapter 17 (term rewriting systems, herein called term reduction systems). In Chapter 19 the author raises the question of a universal equational machine language and discusses the suitability of different variants of the combinator calculus for this purpose. Implementation issues are covered in Chapters 18 and 20 focused around algorithms for efficient pattern matching, sequencing and reduction. Aspects of design and coordination of the syntactic processors are presented as well.

Programming Languages: Concepts and Implementation teaches language concepts from two complementary perspectives: implementation and paradigms. It covers the implementation of concepts through the incremental construction of a progressive series of interpreters in Python, and Racket Scheme, for purposes of its combined simplicity and power, and assessing the differences in the resulting languages.

A new edition of a book, written in a humorous question-and-answer style, that shows how to implement and use an elegant little programming language for logic programming. The goal of this book is to show the beauty and elegance of relational programming, which captures the essence of logic programming. The book shows how to implement a relational programming language in Scheme, or in any other functional language, and demonstrates the remarkable flexibility of the resulting relational programs. As in the first edition, the pedagogical method is a series of questions and answers, which proceed with the characteristic humor that marked The Little Schemer and The Seasoned Schemer. Familiarity with a functional language or with the first five chapters of The Little Schemer is assumed. For this second edition, the authors have greatly simplified the programming language used in the book, as well as the implementation of the language. In addition to revising the text extensively, and simplifying and revising the “Laws” and “Commandments,” they have added explicit “Translation” rules to ease translation of Scheme functions into relations.

This excellent addition to the UTiCS series of undergraduate textbooks provides a detailed and up to date description of the main principles behind the design and implementation of modern programming languages. Rather than focusing on a specific language, the book identifies the most important principles shared by large classes of languages. To complete this general approach, detailed descriptions of the main programming paradigms, namely imperative, object-oriented, functional and logic are given, analysed in depth and compared. This provides the basis for a critical understanding of most of the programming languages. An historical viewpoint is also included, discussing the evolution of programming languages, and to provide a context for most of the constructs in use today. The book concludes with two chapters which introduce basic notions of syntax, semantics and computability, to provide a completely rounded picture of what constitutes a programming language. /div
