Furthering Baseline Core Lucid Standard Specification in the Context of the History of Lucid, Intensional Programming, and Context-Aware Computing

arXiv:1107.0940

Abstract

This work is multifold. We review the historical literature on the Lucid programming language, its dialects, intensional logic, intensional programming, the implementing systems, and context-oriented and context-aware computing and so on that provide a contextual framework for the converging Core Lucid standard programming model. We are designing a standard specification of a baseline Lucid virtual machine for generic execution of Lucid programs. The resulting Core Lucid language would inherit the properties of generalization attempts of GIPL (1999-2013) and TransLucid (2008-2013) for all future and recent Lucid implementing systems to follow. We also maintain this work across local research group in order to foster deeper collaboration, maintain a list of recent and historical bibliography and a reference manual and reading list for students. We form a (for now informal) SIGLUCID group to keep track of this standard and historical records with eventual long-term goal through iterative revisions for this work to become a book or an encyclopedia of the referenced topics, and perhaps, an RFC. We first begin small with this initial set of notes.
