X Abstract

Haskell programmers often use a multi-parameter type class in which one or more type parameters are functionally dependent on the first. Although such functional dependencies have proved quite popular in practice, they express the programmer's intent somewhat indirectly. Developing earlier work on associated data types, we propose to add functionally dependent types as type synonyms to type-class bodies. These associated type synonyms constitute an interesting new alternative to explicit functional dependencies.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
