Great Intro for Type Constructor Polymorphism in Scala JANUARY 16, 2011 By Nikita Ivanov in U NCATEGORIZED 2 COMMENTS
http://lampwww.epfl.ch/~odersky/papers/fsttcs2009.pdf (http://lampwww.epfl.ch/~odersky/papers/fsttcs2009.pdf) This is a great paper by M. Odersky and a. Moors explaining how Type Constructor Polymorphism (Higher-Kinded Types) was used in designing Scala 2.8 collection library and how it helped avoid most of the code repetition that plagued pre-Scala 2.8 collection library. It is a pretty dense read but nonetheless critical for library/DSL designers in Scala.

Basically do the nodes have to be in controlled administrative domain or nodes can be on internet (non-dedicated resources , cycle-stealing mode) ? Do client-server communicate via webservices ? N IKITA IVANOV says: January 25, 2011 at 10:11 pm Absolutely. No limitation on where nodes are located or how they communicate with each other. Discovery and communication are fully pluggable.
