Rlisp '88: An Evolutionary Approach To Program Design And Reuse

The RLISP ‘88 programming system introduces an evolutionary approach to software development that enables small groups of programmers to advance the state of the art over a period of many years. Each new system is built on top of the old; yet, like an Irishman’s hammer, little remains of the original program code. This book presents a style of durable programming for domain specialists and computer scientists alike. Exercises at the end of each chapter encourage its use as a textbook.Contents: IntroductionAn RLISP PrimerCase StudiesFunctionsConclusionReadership: Computer scientists, mathematicians and reduce users.Key Features:Covers theoretical and simulation studies and explains or resolves long-standing phenomena and paradoxes in the field of polymer viscoelasticity in a consistent wayInterplays between molecular theories, experiments and computer simulationsThorough and detailed treatment of each covered subject
