Abstract data types and Data Bases

ACM SIGART Bulletin, 1980
Several researchers have been working, recently, at the attempt of using the ADT approach in the Data Base area. Different specific problems have attacked and we will review some of them.

Abstraction, data types, and models for software

Proceedings of the 1980 workshop on Data abstraction, databases and conceptual modeling -, 1980
In the area of software development and maintenance, a major issue is managing the complexity of the systems. Programming methodologies and languages to support them have grown in response to new ideas about how to cope with this complexity.

Abstract data types in Euclid

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 1978
The programming language Euclid provides features that support abstract data types, but does not strictly speaking provide a true data abstraction mechanism. This paper assesses the data abstraction facilities that Euclid does provide, examines the two ways of instantiating Euclid modules, and discusses other features of modules that the designers of ...

Abstract data types and the development of data structures

Communications of the ACM, 1976
Abstract data types can play a significant role in the development of software that is reliable, efficient, and flexible. This paper presents and discusses the application of an algebraic technique for the specification of abstract data types. Among the examples presented is a top-down development of a symbol table for a block structured language; a ...

Constructive Abstract Data types (CAD)

ACM SIGMOD Record, 1980
1. Distinction from conventional approaches The motivation for CAD is to extend the idea of data abstraction to application programming. Conventional approaches confine themselves to operational concepts of system programming like STACK, QUEUE etc. and do not consider concepts like CONTRACT, INVOICE etc.

An experience in implementing abstract data types

Software: Practice and Experience, 1981
AbstractThe abstract data type concept appears to be a useful software structuring tool. A project, called ‘Système d'Objets Conservés’, which was developed at the University of Rennes, (France), gave some experience in implementing this concept. The possibility of including abstract data type into a pre‐existing compiler is demonstrated, and desirable

Specification of Abstract Data Types in Modula

ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, 1980
The programming language MODULA is extended to permit the formal specification of the structure and functional capabilities of modules. This makes true hierarchical programming possible in MODULA by allowing programmers of higher level parts of a system to ignore completely the internal structure of lower level modules and to rely entirely on the ...

Iteration and abstract data types

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 1987
Numerous languages have been developed which support the creation of abstract data types. Introductions to such languages typically provide the standard stack and complex number examples to demonstrate their respective expressive power. While such examples fit neatly into the framework of these languages, only a few have attempted to deal with the ...

Data structures, types and abstractions

The IEEE Computer Society's Second International Computer Software and Applications Conference, 1978. COMPSAC '78., 2005
The purpose of this paper is to explore the concepts and provide examples of data structures, data types and data abstractions The term data structures has been around for about 30 years; the term data type has been around for about 20 years; and the term data abstraction is a recent one and has been used for the last five years.

Programs are abstract data types

Proceedings 16th Annual International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2001), 2005
We propose to view programs as abstract data types and to perform program changes by applying well-defined operations on programs. The ADT view of programs goes beyond the approach of syntax-directed editors and proof-editors since it is possible to combine basic update operations into larger update programs that can be stored and reused. It is crucial
