Sophie Anglade, Jean-Jacques Lacrampe, and Christian Queinnec. Semantics of combinations in scheme. Lisp Pointers, ACM SIGPLAN Special Interest Publication on Lisp, 7(4):15-20, October-December 1995.

Abstract:

This paper presents a denotational semantics for the combinations of the Scheme language. Scheme leaves unspecified the order of evaluation of the terms of a combination. Our purpose is to formally and denotationally characterize such indeterminacy. We achieve this by extending the denotation as well as the domain of final answers to take into account the various possible orders of evaluation.

Abstract:

DMeroon is a library of C functions that provides a data model above a coherently distributed shared memory. DMeroon allows users to statically or dynamically create new classes, to dynamically instantiate these classes and to dynamically and coherently share the resulting instances over a network. DMeroon automatically takes care of representation and alignment, migrating and sharing objects, local and global garbage collections. This document describes DMeroon and its philosophy of design.
