However, evidence on the value and impact of micro- ...

A strong economic recovery that improves prospects for equitable growth after the COVID-19 pandemic will need to address persistent inequity in school systems. While OECD governments have increased or maintained constant education budgets in response to the pandemic, they will need to make difficult budgetary choices to support the recovery. The pursuit of equity in school systems can go hand in hand with efficiency goals when it comes to the allocation of available resources. Funding approaches ...

Many modern garbage collectors [4] recover space by copying. Using an initial "root" set of pointers which are stored in known locations, all accessible objects are copied into a "new space". Two of the attractive properties of such a collector are that it results in memory compaction and it can have a running time proportional to the amount of accessible storage [2]. However, such schemes place a large burden on the underlying system as all pointers to the objects must be found and changed.

Reasoning about program variables as sets of “values” leads to a simple, accurate and intuitively appealing notion of program approximation. This paper presents approach for the compile-time analysis of ML programs. To develop the core ideas of the analysis, we consider a simple untyped call-by-value functional language. Starting with an operational semantics for the language, we develop an approximate “set-based” operational semantics, which formalizes the intuition of treating program variables ...
