  Subsequence references
Hansen W. ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems 14(4): 471-489, 1992.  Type: Article

The introduction notes that, in spite of the steadily increasing importance of text and string operations over the history of computing, programming language facilities that incorporate substrings as first-class values are largely con...

  A program integration algorithm that accommodates semantics-preserving transformations
Yang W., Horwitz S., Reps T. ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology 1(3): 310-354, 1992.  Type: Article

A program may be developed into two variants--possibly because it is available on a popular operating system and is enhanced independently and with different intent at two sites--which do not interfere in the sense th...

  Adaptive Programming
Gouda M., Herman T. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 17(9): 911-921, 1991.  Type: Article

The concept of state-change is fundamental to computing: for example, when the internal clock of some processor reaches 12:00:00.001, the state of a process running on it changes from morning to afternoon. The state of a process in tu...

  Wait-free synchronization
Herlihy M. ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems 13(1): 124-149, 1991.  Type: Article

A set of concurrent processes sharing a data object form a fault-tolerant system only if nonfaulty processes can complete their operations in a finite number of steps even if the system contains arbitrarily slow, including halted, proc...

  The Evolution Support Environment System
Ramamoorthy C., Usuda Y., Prakash A., Tsai W. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 16(11): 1225-1234, 1990.  Type: Article

Computer support for the development of large software systems is now a well-established field of study with its own set of evocative key terms such as “configuration management,” “version control,R...

  Resources in Ada
, ACM Press, New York, NY, 1990.  Type: Book (9780897913744)

A review of a book that is about 40 percent selections from Computing Reviews is somewhat self-referential, and considering that this review is likely to appear in the book’s second edition, perhaps it would have been ...

  Weaving a program: literate programming in WEB
Sewell W., Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., New York, NY, 1989.  Type: Book (9780442319465)

The problem of presenting algorithms in a manner that balances the fundamental need for correctness and portability with the reader’s need for aesthetic satisfaction goes back to what now seems like the dawn, or at least the ...

  TEAM: a support environment for testing, evaluation, and analysis
Clarke L., Richardson D., Zeil S. ACM SIGPLAN Notices 24(2): 153-162, 1989.  Type: Article

This paper concerns efforts to bring under one conceptual roof a range of tools designed to support greater software reliability. The authors assume that the toolkit will grow. Because one of the authors’ aims is to evaluate ...

  The software factory: a fourth generation software engineering environment
Evans M., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1989.  Type: Book (9789780471011927)

Software engineering is an odd sort of discipline, and the term tends to mean different things depending on who utters it. When I participate in selecting a text for a software engineering course, I now use category D.2 as a checklist....

  More file formats for popular PC software: a programmer’s reference
Walden J., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1987.  Type: Book (9789780471850779)

This book is exactly what its subtitle claims: a reference manual. It follows the style of its predecessor, File formats for popular software [1], which provides information on some of the most popular PC software packages such ...
