Module2: Programming Paradigms Teacher: Marco Bellia Laurea Magistrale : Informatics. ^ Schedule ^^^ ^ Day ^ Hour ^ Room ^ | Monday| 11-13 | C1, Polo Fibonacci | | Wednesday| 9-11 | C2, Polo Fibonacci | The course is a required course for the Laurea Magistrale in Informatica ====== Summary of Content ====== The course covers the main topics on the structure of programming languages, from the viewpoints of the runtime support of its abstract machine and of the programming methodologies of the supported linguistic constructs. It focuses on the study of three paradigms, the Object Oriented, the Functional, and the Logic Programming paradigms, and on their use in the various programming methodologies. The Programming methodologies considered in the course includes Decomposition Based, Fully Abstract Abstraction, Inductive Programming, Divide and Conquer, Functional Programming, Memoization, Tail Recursion, Polymorphic Programming, Higher Order Programming, Combinator Based, Deductive Programming, Object Oriented Programming ====== Lectures ====== ^ Date ^ Lecture ^ Notes ^ Reading ^ | 18/2/2013 | Course Overview |lecture1e.pdf | Chapters 1-3 [GM]| | 20/2/2013 | The Expected Characteristics of a Programming Language | lecture2e.pdf| | | 27/2/2013 | The Procedural Machinery: Binding, Mutable and Immutable Values, Env, Store, AR, Block, Scope, S-Scope, D-Scope |lecture3-6e-part1.pdf | Chapters 4 [GM]| | 4/3/2013 | The Procedural Machinery: Different structures of AR, Le Blank-Cook Approach, Program Unit, Aliasing, Lambda Lifting and D-Scope |lecture3-6e-part2.pdf | Chapters 5 [GM]| | 6/3/2013 | The Procedural Machinery: Lambda Lifting and S-Scope, Closures, Formalizations of Env and Store, Stack and Heap.

The participation to the FE is conditioned to passing the PE. Finally, The FE of this module consists of 10 open answer questions to be answered in 2 hours. For other details see the notices provided at the beginning of the first module. Here is a specimen of the FE. ^ Appello-Date ^ Results: Module1 ^ Text: Module1 ^ Results: Module2: ^ Text: Module2 ^ Final Grade ^ |III: june 4th | |text | Table|text | To be registered| |IV: june 25th |Table|text | Table | text| | |V: july 15th |Table| | Table | | To be registered| |VI: sept. 5th |Table| in italian|Table |in italian | To be registered| ====== Communications ====== 18/07: The grade registration (either of the single module, or of the final grade) is tomorrow, friday 19th july, at 9:30 a.m., in my office.
