1. Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering (v4, p107) : Next:433-380 | Prev:433-353
Credit points: 12.5
Coordinator: Dr. P. Stuckey
Prerequisite: Computer Science 433-241 or Electrical Engineering 431-204, Computer Science 433-242, 433-243, 433-244 and 433-245
Contact: 26 hours of lectures and approximately 17 hours of practice classes
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On successful completion of this subject students should:
- be familiar with important concepts and techniques in programming language implementation
- have a general appreciation of the constraints imposed on programming languages by implementation considerations
- understand the basic ideas behind implementation of the programming language paradigms: imperative, object-oriented, functional and logic programming.
Content:
Compilers and interpreters: compiler structures; intermediate representations of programs; global tables, run-time structures, lexical analysis, parsing, semantic analysis, code generation, optimisation; meta-circular interpreters, partial evaluation, program transformation, abstract interpretation.
Assessment:
Up to three hours of written examinations at the end of the subject. Project work, which is expected to take about 36 hours, must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be made known at the commencement of the subject.
