Abstract:

Control of complexity in large programming systems. Building abstractions: computational processes; higher-order procedures; compound data; and data abstractions. Controlling interactions: generic operations; self-describing data; message passing; streams and infinite data structures; and object-oriented programming. Meta-linguistic abstraction: interpretation of programming languages; machine model; compilation; and embedded languages. Substantial weekly programming assignments are an integral part of the course. Enrollment may be limited.
