Dieses Dokument beschreibt eine Applikation namens Stolperwege, die als prototypische Kommunikationstechnologie für eine mobile Public History of the Holocaust dienen soll, und zwar ausgehend vom Beispiel des Kunstprojekts namens Stolpersteine von Gunter Demnig. Auf diese Weise soll eine zentrale Herausforderung bezogen auf die Vermittlung der Geschichte des Holocaust aufgegriffen werden, welche in der Anknüpfung an die neuesten Entwicklungen von Kommunikationsmedien besteht. Die Stolperwege-App richtet sich an Schülerinnen und Schüler, Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner, Historikerinnen und Historiker und allgemein an Besucherinnen und Besucher einer Stadt, die vor Ort den Spuren des Holocaust nachspüren wollen, um sich an der Schreibung einer Public History of the Holocaust aktiv zu beteiligen.
Various static analyses of functional programming languages that permit infinite data structures make use of set constants like Top, Inf, and Bot, denoting all terms, all lists not eventually ending in Nil, and all non-terminating programs, respectively. We use a set language that permits union, constructors and recursive definition of set constants with a greatest fixpoint semantics in the set of all, also infinite, computable trees, where all term constructors are non-strict. This internal report proves decidability, in particular DEXPTIME-completeness, of inclusion of co-inductively defined sets by using algorithms and results from tree automata and set constraints, and contains detailed proofs. The test for set inclusion is required by certain strictness analysis algorithms in lazy functional programming languages and could also be the basis for further set-based analyses.
The calculus LRP is a polymorphically typed call-by-need lambda calculus extended by data constructors, case-expressions, seq-expressions and type abstraction and type application. This report is devoted to the extension LRPw of LRP by scoped sharing decorations. The extension cannot be properly encoded into LRP if improvements are defined w.r.t. the number of lbeta, case, and seq-reductions, which makes it necessary to reconsider the claims and proofs of properties. We show correctness of improvement properties of reduction and transformation rules and also of computation rules for decorations in the extended calculus LRPw. We conjecture that conservativity of the embedding of LRP in LRPw holds.

An improvement is a correct program transformation that optimizes the program, where the criterion is that the number of computation steps until a value is obtained is decreased. This paper investigates improvements in both { an untyped and a polymorphically typed { call-by-need lambda-calculus with letrec, case, constructors and seq. Besides showing that several local optimizations are improvements, the main result of the paper is a proof that common subexpression elimination is correct and an improvement, which proves a conjecture and thus closes a gap in Moran and Sands' improvement theory. We also prove that several different length measures used for improvement in Moran and Sands' call-by-need calculus and our calculus are equivalent.

A concurrent implementation of software transactional memory in Concurrent Haskell using a call-by-need functional language with processes and futures is given. The description of the small-step operational semantics is precise and explicit, and employs an early abort of conflicting transactions. A proof of correctness of the implementation is given for a contextual semantics with may- and should-convergence. This implies that our implementation is a correct evaluator for an abstract specification equipped with a big-step semantics.
Towards correctness of program transformations through unification and critical pair computation
(2011)
Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach to proving correctness is the combination of a context lemma with the computation of overlaps between program transformations and the reduction rules, and then of so-called complete sets of diagrams. The method is similar to the computation of critical pairs for the completion of term rewriting systems.We explore cases where the computation of these overlaps can be done in a first order way by variants of critical pair computation that use unification algorithms. As a case study we apply the method to a lambda calculus with recursive let-expressions and describe an effective unification algorithm to determine all overlaps of a set of transformations with all reduction rules. The unification algorithm employs many-sorted terms, the equational theory of left-commutativity modelling multi-sets, context variables of different kinds and a mechanism for compactly representing binding chains in recursive let-expressions.
