Abstract
In this paper we examine how trends in programming methodology support the definition of value types. We ask the question have we really advanced in the move from traditional to OO methodologies, have we produced square wheels, or have we just changed terminology? We ask this to determine what we should be teaching our students. The work was motivated by a concern that students, through what is, or is not, taught, are missing or rejecting the lessons of history and producing poorer designs because of this.

The humble programmer
Classics in software engineeringIn my opinion, Dijkstra's "Humble Programmer" ought to be required reading for everyone who claims that programming is his or her profession. To me, it ranks as one of the great classics in the field, providing an educational experience for the junior ...
Humble beginnings, uncertain end: getting the internet to provide performance guarantees
Proceedings of the 2006 conference on Applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communicationsOne of the pioneering efforts to obtain guaranteed performance from the Internet was born out of sheer curiosity. The question "Can it be done, and, if so, how?" came unexpectedly to the mind of a researcher who had never been active in the field of ...
