Caliban A {declarative} annotation language for controlling the partitioning and placement of the evaluation of expressions in a distributed {functional language}. Designed by Paul Kelly , {Imperial College}. ["Functional Programming for Loosely-coupled Multiprocessors", P. Kelly, Pitman/MIT Press, 1989]. (1995-01-11)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
call-by-name (CBN) (Normal order reduction, leftmost, outermost reduction). An argument passing convention (first provided by {ALGOL 60}?) where argument expressions are passed unevaluated. This is usually implemented by passing a pointer to some code which will return the value of the argument and an environment giving the values of its {free variable}s. This {evaluation strategy} is guaranteed to reach a {normal form} if one exists. When used to implement {functional programming} languages, call-by-name is usually combined with {graph reduction} to avoid repeated evaluation of the same expression. This is then known as {call-by-need}. The opposite of call-by-name is {call-by-value} where arguments are evaluated before they are passed to a function. This is more efficient but is less likely to terminate in the presence of infinite data structures and {recursive} functions. Arguments to {macro}s are usually passed using call-by-name. (1994-11-29)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
call-by-need A {reduction strategy} which delays evaluation of function arguments until they are needed because they are arguments to a {primitive} function or a conditional. Call-by-need is one part of {lazy evaluation}. The term first appears in Chris Wadsworth's thesis "Semantics and Pragmatics of the Lambda calculus" (Oxford, 1971, p. 183). It was used later, by J. Vuillemin in his thesis (Stanford, 1973). (1995-05-27)
