This e-book is devoted to global optimization algorithms, which are methods to find optimal
solutions for given problems. It especially focuses on Evolutionary Computation by …

Parsing is the process of structuring a linear representation in accordance with a given
grammar. This definition has been kept abstract on purpose to allow as wide an …

LR parsing has become a widely used method of syntax analysis; this is largely due to the
availability of parser generators and compilercompilers based on LR techniques. However …

Language designers must compromise between their goals and resources, and reconcile
conflicting features into a harmonious whole. They cannot try out their ideas on real …

The uses and advantages of a language tailored specifically for the description and
construction of translators are considered. The major features of the Kodiyak language …

This paper introduces Composable Attribute Grammars (CAGs), a formalism that extends
classical attribute grammars to allow for the modular composition of translation …

This paper presents a method to design Spiking Central Pattern Generators (SCPGs) to
achieve locomotion at different frequencies on legged robots. It is validated through …

Aspect-oriented programming addresses the problem that the implementation of some
properties such as error handling and optimization tends to cross-cut the basic functionality …

Attribute grammars provide a formal declarative notation for describing the semantics and
translation of programming languages. Describing any real programming language is a …

A compiler generator is a program or set of programs that takes as input a formal description
of the syntax and semantics of a source language and a target machine language (or …
