Summary on Grant Application Form |
Functional programming systems offer many advantage over conventional procedural systems, particularly during program construction which is more rapid, more modular, less error-prone and yields much smaller programs to maintain. Yet functional systems have not been widely adopted by software professionals. One reason is a lack of the kind of tracing tools familiar to those who work with more conventional systems. It is harder to trace evaluation by normal order graph reduction than to follow a sequence of commands already explicit in a source program. The proposed research attacks this problem by constructing and evaluation a novel tracer.
