This book describes Lucid, a multidimensional declarative language based on intensional logic. The mathematical underpinnings of Lucid enable programs to be amenable to verification and transformation. Lucid programs concisely and elegantly express multidimensional computations rich in parallelism that can be robustly exploited using a novel demand-driven model of computation. In addition to being an applications programming language, Lucid also serves as the basis of a system for programming conventional parallel computers and a visual programming system.

This book describes a powerful language for multidimensional declarative programming called Lucid. Lucid has evolved considerably in the past ten years. The main catalyst for this metamorphosis was the discovery that Lucid is based on intensional logic, one commonly used in studying natural languages. Intensionality, and more specifically indexicality, has enabled Lucid to implicitly express multidimensional objects that change, a fundamental capability with several consequences which are explored in this book. The author covers a broad range of topics, from foundations to applications, and from implementations to implications. The role of intensional logic in Lucid as well as its consequences for programming in general is discussed. The syntax and mathematical semantics of the language are given and its ability to be used as a formal system for transformation and verification is presented. The use of Lucid in both multidimensional applications programming and software systems construction (such as a parallel programming system and a visual programming system) is described. A novel model of multidimensional computation--education--is described along with its serendipitous practical benefits for harnessing parallelism and tolerating faults. As the only volume that reflects the advances over the past decade, this work will be of great interest to researchers and advanced students involved with declarative language systems and programming.

There is a growing interest in programming languages and systems, and computational models based on intensional logics — such as temporal logic, interval logic and modal logic — and possible world semantics. In fact, a whole new programming model called intensional programming has emerged with applications in a wide range of areas including parallel programming, dataflow computation, temporal reasoning, scientific computation, software version control, real-time programming, temporal query languages, executable temporal logics, spreadsheets, attribute grammars, and hardware synthesis, to name a few. Intensional Programming is especially suited to application domains where the notion of dynamic change is central.This collection will feature papers by leading researchers in the field of intensional programming dealing with theoretical foundations, design, implementation and prototype development issues, comparative studies, and applications, as well as those describing new challenges arising out of applications. It contains revised and extended versions of the papers presented at the Eighth International Symposium on Languages for Intensional Programming held on May 3-5, 1995 at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
