Description

This course is aimed at graduate students and advanced undergraduates who are interested in systems programming using high-level languages. The course will largely be based on the book "Concurrent Programming in ML." Topics that will be covered include: an overview of concurrent programming idioms, concurrent and distributed programming using Concurrent ML, implementation of high-level concurrent languages, and formal models of concurrency. There will be two modest programming projects.

Project 1: The Voyeur Shell

Project 2: Join calculus
