Concurrency Issues In Programmable Brick Languages, Gilliad E. Munden
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Abstract
The programmable brick constitutes a domain for simple, autonomous robotics geared towards novice programmers in a constructionist setting. A large number of languages have been adapted from other domains to serve as a programming platform for this brick. However, there has yet to be an in-depth analysis of how these languages fit this domain. This work provides such an analysis of the existing brick languages in order to identify how they deal with the issue of concurrency as it relates to the brick. First, the brick domain is characterized and the languages involved are described. Second, the different approaches …
