With the realization that all programming is concemed with designing and implementing data types, there is a growing awareness that data type designing is far more difficult than traditional books on data stuctures and data types have suggested.<br>\nDesigning data types in isolation is fundamentally diff&#8217;erent from designing them for integration into communities of data types. New approaches and methodologies are needed for handling the design of communities and sub-communities of data types. A modest beginning at uncovering and highlighting some of the issues is presented under the guise of designing a community of List data types.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/260\/TR-73.pdf\">TR-73.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carleton University Technical Report TR-73 May 1985 Designing Communities of Data Types Wilf R.
