Cs 480/680: Comparative Languages, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan Jul 2011

Cs 480/680: Comparative Languages, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

This course will introduce fundamental concepts and paradigms underlying the design of modern multi-paradigm programming languages. For concreteness, we study the details of an object-oriented language (e.g. Java), and a functional language (e.g., scheme). The former is an exemplar of a language for programming-in-the-large, while the latter is an exemplar of programming-in-the-small. The overall goal is to enable comparison and evaluation of existing languages. 1he programming assignments will be coded in Java and in Scheme.

Cs 466/666: Introduction To Formal Languages, Guozhu Dong Apr 2011

Cs 466/666: Introduction To Formal Languages, Guozhu Dong

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

CS 466/666 is an introduction to formal language and automata theory. In this course we will examine methods for defining syntax of languages and recognizing patterns in strings/sentences: the syntax of languages can be defined using grammars and the patterns can be accepted by finite state machines. Along with presenting the fundamentals of these two topics, the course will develop and investigate the relationships between language definition mechanisms and pattern recognition devices. The text will be the third edition of Languages and Machines: An Introduction to the Theory of Computer Science, by Thomas Sudkamp.
