Execution Model for Functional Programming Language with States
Joo Hyung Seok, Kim Hong Eub, Yoo Weon Hee · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 1997
Despite elaegant semantics and a lot of features, pure functional programming languages do not provide an affcient way of represnting states.Many researches have been done to resolve the problem, however, another problem arises that it is hard to implement becaese of the complex type system and redujction rule.Therefore, the scheme which simplifies the reduction rule and maintains states effciently is needed to have the implemen-taiton dffetive.This paper proposes st-calculus, the excution model of a functinal language with states and proves that the proposed model satistiies the church-Rosser theorem.It has simple reduction rules and the ability of rerpresenting states without, and the difficulties with implementation may be reduced by simplifving the reduction rules.
