Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e)

Chutimaskul, W.; Kerridge, J.

Abstract

This paper describes the library mechanism for defining generic abstract data types (generic ADTs) as an extension to occam3 (occam3(e)). A generic ADT must be able to reuse either base data types or pre-defined data types and existing operations. A reusable data type can be realised by using the concept of parameterised types, whereas the reusable operations are realised by means of overloading and polymorphism. The work concentrates on the design of the occam3(e) library to support the above concept.
