The Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming subline aims
to publish papers on patterns and pattern languages as applied to
software design, development, and use, throughout all phases of the
software life cycle, from requirements and design to
implementation, maintenance and evolution. The primary focus of
this LNCS Transactions subline is on patterns, pattern collections,
and pattern languages themselves. The journal also includes
reviews, survey articles, criticisms of patterns and pattern
languages, as well as other research on patterns and pattern
languages. This book, the third volume in the Transactions on
Pattern Languages of Programming series, presents five papers that
have been through a careful peer review process involving both
pattern experts and domain experts. The papers present various
pattern languages and a study of applying patterns and represent
some of the best work that has been carried out in design patterns
and pattern languages of programming over the last few years.
This book presents a survey of the state-of-the-art on techniques
for dealing with aliasing in object-oriented programming. It marks
the 20th anniversary of the paper The Geneva Convention On The
Treatment of Object Aliasing by John Hogg, Doug Lea, Alan Wills,
Dennis de Champeaux and Richard Holt. The 22 revised papers were
carefully reviewed to ensure the highest quality.The contributions
are organized in topical sections on the Geneva convention,
ownership, concurrency, alias analysis, controlling effects,
verification, programming languages, and visions.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th European
Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2012, held in
Beijing, China, in June 2012. The 27 revised full papers presented
together with two keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and
selected from a total of 140 submissions. The papers are organized
in topical sections on extensibility, language evaluation,
ownership and initialisation, language features, special-purpose
analyses, javascript, hardcore theory, modularity, updates and
interference, general-purpose analyses.
From conception to birth is traditionally nine months. The first
emails regarding the volume you now hold in your hands-or the bits
you have downloaded onto your screen-are dated 11 June 2005. From
conception to birth has taken over four years. Springer's LNCS
Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming is dedicated,
first and foremost, to promoting, promulgating, presenting,
describing, critiquing, interrogating, and evaluating all aspects
of the use of patterns in programming. In the 15 years or so since
Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides's Design Patterns became widely
available, software patterns have become a highly effective means
of improving the quality of programming, software engineering,
system design, and development. Patterns capture the best practices
of software design, making them available to everyone participating
in the production of software. A key goal of the Transactions
Series is to present material that is validated. Every contributed
paper that appears in this volume has been reviewed by both
patterns experts and domain experts, by researchers and
practitioners. This reviewing process begins long before the paper
is even submitted to Transactions. Every paper in the Series is
first presented and critiqued at one of the Pattern Languages of
Programming (PLoP) conferences held annually around the world.
Prior to the conference, each submitted paper is assigned a
shepherd who works with the authors to improve the paper. Based on
several rounds of feedback, a paper may proceed to a writers'
workshop at the conference itself.
The motif of death and dying traced through over a thousand years
of the English Arthurian tradition. It is arguably the tragic end
to Arthur's kingdom which gives the myth its exceptional resonance
and power. The essays in this volume explore the presentation of
death and dying in Arthurian literature and film produced in
Englandand America from the middle ages to the modern day. Authors,
texts and topics covered include Geoffrey of Monmouth, the
chronicle tradition, and the alliterative Morte Arthure; Gawain and
the Green Knight, Ywain and Gawain, the stanzaic Morte Arthur, and
Malory's Morte Darthur; Tennyson's Idylls, Pyle's retelling of the
myth for American children, David Jones, T.H. White, Donald
Barthelme, Rosalind Miles and Parke Godwin. Featured films include
Knight Rider, Excalibur, First Knight, and King Arthur.

Essays reflecting the present state of Layamon studies, identifying
problems and outlining current directions in research. This volume
investigates the problems with which the contemporary reader of
Layamon's Brut is faced: To what extent is the archaic feel of the
Brut part of a deliberate aesthetic strategy of Layamon's? For what
sortof audience could it have been written? How can one define its
relation to older or more recent texts and traditions? What
ideological stance (if any) is to be deduced from the work? The
seventeen articles in this book tackle the different issues from a
variety of fields: codicology and palaeography; Linguistics,
stylists and syntax; the socio-political dimension of the work and
its possible audience; the tradition upon which Layamon was
drawing, and his contribution to later writers; literary theory and
more general issues such as gender and spatial symbolism in the
Brut. A number of essays present a synthesis of points of view,
specifically intended to provide students with a yardstick against
which to measure the more controversial articlesin the volume.
