Systematic program design from clarity to efficiency /
Liu, Yanhong Annie, 1965-
Systematic program design from clarity to efficiency / [electronic resource] : Yanhong Annie Liu. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2013. - xv, 240 p. : ill.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-233) and index.
Machine generated contents note: 1. Introduction; 2. Loops: incrementalize; 3. Sets: incrementalize and implement; 4. Recursion: iterate and incrementalize; 5. Rules: iterate, incrementalize, and implement; 6. Objects: incrementalize across module abstraction; 7. Conclusion.
"A systematic program design method can help developers ensure the correctness and performance of programs while minimizing the development cost. This book describes a method that starts with a clear specification of a computation and derives an efficient implementation by step-wise program analysis and transformations. The method applies to problems specified in imperative, database, functional, logic, and object-oriented programming languages with different data, control, and module abstractions. Designed for courses or self-study, this book includes numerous exercises and examples that require minimal computer science background, making it accessible to novices. Experienced practitioners and researchers will appreciate the detailed examples in a wide range of application areas including hardware design, image processing, access control, query optimization, and program analysis. The last section of the book points out directions for future studies"--
