Scala - how to make best use of functions and objects

Know Thy Neighbor

For a long time my research has been on how to unify functional and object-oriented programming. This research has led to the Scala language, which combines both technologies while staying completely interoperable with Java. It allows a terseness of style comparable to scripting language but has at the same time a strong and static type system. In this way, it can express common programming...

FuturICT

What can we learn from the way society is organized? What are the underlying principles? How can we use them to design new technological systems?

Along the lines of these guiding questions, I will start with models of pedestrians and crowds, and the applications in logistics and traffic light control they have inspired.

It will be shown that self-organization is a wide-spread principle...

The Power of Abstraction

I&C - Summer Research Institute

Abstraction is at the center of much work in Computer Science. It encompasses finding the right interface for a system as well as finding an effective design for a system implementation. Furthermore, abstraction is the basis for program construction, allowing programs to be built in a modular fashion.

This talk will discuss how the abstraction mechanisms we use today came to be, how they...

Is Bitcoin Stable, Secure, and Scalable?

EPFL IC School Colloquia

I will first give a short introduction to the Bitcoin system, explaining some of the basics such as transactions and the block chain. Then, I will discuss some interesting technical aspects in more detail, regarding the stability, security, and scalability of Bitcoin. Regarding stability, I will discuss Bitcoin's eventual consistency, and the related problem of double spending. Regarding...
