Humane Representation of Thought
Bret Victor suggests how each of the human activities in which thought is externalized (conversing, presenting, reading, writing, etc) can be redesigned for a dynamic medium.

ASPIRE:Exploiting Asynchronous Parallelism in Iterative Algorithms using a Relaxed Consistency-based DSM
The authors present a relaxed memory consistency model and consistency protocol that tolerate communication latency and minimize the use of stale values, outperforming other models.

Refactoring Java Generics by Inferring Wildcards, In Practice
John Altidor, Yannis Smaragdakis discuss an algorithm for refactoring and inferring more general type instantiations of Java generics using wildcards without changes to the Java type system.

Confined Gradual Typing
The authors discuss gradual typing, combining static’s safety and dynamic’s flexibility in a single programming language by implicitly inserting casts where needed.
