What is Transitions in Programming Models: 2 about?

The future of programming languages is not what it used to be. From the 50's to the 90's, richer, more flexible, and more robust structures were imposed on raw computation. Generally, new models of data and control managed to subsume older ones. But now, as programs and applications expand beyond a single local network and a single administrative domain, the very nature of data and control changes, and many long-lasting conceptual invariants are disrupted. We discuss three of these disruptive changes, which seem to be happening all at the same time, and for related reasons: asynchronous concurrency, semistructured data, and (in much less detail) security abstractions. We outline research projects that address issues in those areas, mostly as examples of much larger territories yet to explore. Bio Luca Cardelli was born in Montecatini Terme, Italy, studied at the University of Pisa (until 1979), and has a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Edinburgh (1982).
