Abstract
In the paper "Functional programming for distributed systems with XC" we present XC, a programming language to develop the collective behaviour of homogeneous distributed systems while abstracting over concurrency, asynchronous execution, message loss, and device failures. The paper describes the design of XC, formalizes a core calculus for it, and shows that XC can effectively capture the logic of several distributed protocols and applications including gossiping, distributed summarization, information flows over self-healing communication structures, and self-organizing behaviours. Then, it discusses implementation, in a Scala and a C++ embedded domain-specific language (DSL), and provides evaluation through a case study in a smart city scenario, called SmartC. The reusable artifact described in this paper contains precisely those software projects: the Scala DSL, referred to as XC/Scala; the C++ DSL, referred to as XC/C++; and the SmartC implementation in both DSLs.

Functional Programming for Distributed Systems with XC

Abstract
Programming distributed systems is notoriously hard due to - among the others - concurrency, asynchronous execution, message loss, and device failures. Homogeneous distributed systems consist of similar devices that communicate to neighbours and execute the same program: they include wireless sensor networks, network hardware, and robot swarms. For the homogeneous case, we investigate an experimental language design that aims to push the abstraction boundaries farther, compared to existing approaches. In this paper, we introduce the design of XC, a programming language to develop homogeneous distributed systems. In XC, developers define the single program that every device executes and the overall behaviour is achieved collectively, in an emergent way. The programming framework abstracts over concurrency, asynchronous execution, message loss, and device failures. We propose a minimalistic design, which features a single declarative primitive for communication, state management, and connection management. A mechanism called alignment enables developers to abstract over asynchronous execution while still retaining composability. We define syntax and operational semantics of a core calculus, and briefly discuss its main properties. XC comes with two DSL implementations: a DSL in Scala and one in C++. An evaluation based on smart-city monitoring demonstrates XC in a realistic application.
