The working set model for program behavior has been proposed in recent years as a basis for the design of scheduling and paging algorithms. Although the words “working set” are now commonly encountered in the literature dealing …

A simple technique for the symbol-table lookup of structured variables based on simple automata theory is presented. The technique offers a deterministic solution to a problem which is currently handled in a nondeterministic

The ability to backtrack, or retrace, the execution of a computer program has gained wider acceptance recently as a desired feature within a programming language. This is particularly useful in two different applications: (1) …
