 The following observations lead to novel requirements for CTPS' userinterface:

 %

 %theorem proving will be integrated into software development

 %

 %hundreds of proof obligations are generated during a software verification process 

 %

 %so the final goald of Isabelle's planning is integration with other software development tools in an integrated development environment (IDE).

 %

 %still many principal issues need to be clarified with respect to integration of CTP and other development tools. So engaging into details makes no sense at the present, and Isabelle will approach the final goal via experimental intermediate steps of integration.

 \item favorite IDE is the jEdit, because it is clearer than Eclipse or NetBeans. The reason behind this choice follows in section 4.2

 Scala \footnote{http://www.scala-lang.org} is a hybrid programming language. It combines object-oriented programming and functional programming. Scala runs on the Java Virtual Machine and is byte-code compatible with existing Java programs. The compilation model of Scala is nearly the same as the Java's model. So existing tools, libraries and applications can be used with Scala. The syntax of Scala is similar to Java and ML. A number of keywords plus the block syntax is adopted from Java and from ML the syntax for type annotation and declaration. The source-code is typically reduced, concisely and more compact compared to equivalent Java code \footnote{http://www.scalasolutions.com/scala}.

 Scala is pure object-oriented, this means every value is an object. The same is true for primitive data types, because compiler-generated byte code is using primitive data types. Known design patterns from OOP can be used with Scala as well. Data types and behaviors of objects are described by classes and traits [wiki]. Traits not only consist of definitions, they also can contain implementations of methods. To avoid the problems of multiple inheritance, classes are able to extend various traits, this is a flexible mixin-based mechanism. The keyword Object is used to implement a Singleton-Class. \\

 In Scala every function is a value, hence Scala is also a functional language. Functions in Scala are first-class objects, this means it is possible to pass a function as a parameter, return a function from a subroutine, or assign to a variable. Scala also supports case classes, which are used for pattern matching. Case classes are regular classes which export their constructor parameters[wiki-11-1s]. Furthermore Scala supports higher-order functions, currying and allows functions to be nested. \\

 Scala is more statically typed than Java, but is able to infer types by usage. So most static type declarations are optional. This static type system ensures a safe and coherent use of abstraction. Scala supports:

 Concurrency has lately become more and more attention, because multicore processors make concurrency very important for efficient program execution, by running multiple threads parallel and so concurrent programming gets indispensable and distributed computing,web services and mobile environments are naturally concurrent. A very attractive model is message-based concurrency, which is based on the actor model.

 Concurrency has lately become more and more attention, because multicore processors make concurrency very important for efficient program execution, by running multiple threads parallel and so concurrent programming gets indispensable and distributed computing,web services and mobile environments are naturally concurrent. \\

 An actor is a concurrent process that executes a function. The state of an actor gets never shared, so it doesn't need to compete for locks of shared data. Actors own a mailbox where incoming messages are stored in. A mailbox is mainly a queue with actors, which operate as several producers and one consumer. Actors share data by sending Messages which are sent asynchronously. Messages are unchangeable, so they don't require a lock. By creating new actors, by sending messages to known actors, or changing its behavior, an actor is able to reply to a message. The actor-based process is combined with pattern matching for messages.

 A very attractive model, because of the fact that it might addresses multicore processors and several techniques which are basically concurrent, is message-based concurrency. Most of the message passing systems, which are used in practice, are based on the actor model. \\

Actors own a mailbox where incoming messages are stored in. A mailbox is mainly a queue with several producers and one consumer, which are other actors.

By creating new actors, by sending messages to known actors, or changing its behavior, an actor is able to reply to a message. The actor-based process is combined with pattern matching for messages.\\

 The Erlang programming language is a functional programming language that supports message-based concurrency, which operates with actors. It was developed for real-time control systems. Such systems are telephone exchanges, network simulators and distributed resource controllers \cite{scala:jmlc06}. These systems use a very popular lightweight implementation and a large number of concurrent processes, which can be active simultaneously.

 The Erlang programming language is a functional programming language and a very popular implementation of message-based concurrency, which operates with actors. It was developed for real-time control systems. Such systems are telephone exchanges, network simulators and distributed resource controllers [IoC]. These systems use a very lightweight implementation and a large number of concurrent processes, which can active simultaneously.\\

 Operating system threads and threads of virtual machines, are too heavyweight for the implementation of such processes. The standard concurrency for mainstream platforms where shared-memory threads with locks. Such a platform is the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which suffers from high memory consumption and context-switching overhead.

Such a platform is the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which suffers from high memory consumption and context-switching overhead.

 The main reasons are:

 The most disadvantageous consequences are \cite{scala:jmlc06}:

 %[IoC]

 For that reasons Erlang uses lightweight concurrent processes by its own run time system and not by the underlying operating system [IoC] and the computations on these platforms are often modeled in an event-driven style, which is complicated and error-prone.

 \paragraph{Actors in Scala} are based on actors in Erlang. Scala uses the basic thread model of Erlang, but on the other hand all higher-level functions got implemented in the Scala library as classes or methods. The Scala-actors are a unification of the concurrent process implementation models, mentioned above and they are compatible with normal Virtual Machine thread. Normal VM threads can use the same communication and monitoring capabilities, because they are treated like an actor. A message-based concurrency seems to be more secure than shared-memory with locks, because accessing an actor's mailbox is race-free. The advantage of a implementation in a library is that it can be flexibly extended and adapted to new needs. The library makes use of Scala abstraction opportunities, like partial functions and pattern matching.

 The main idea of this model is that an actor is able to wait for a message by using two different operations, which try to remove a message from the current actor's mailbox. To do so, a partial function must be given to the operation, that specifies a set of message patterns. These operations are receive and react. An actor can suspend with a full thread stack (receive) or it can suspend with just a continuation closure (react) [2.P]. The first operation of an actor to wait for an message is equal to thread-based programming and the second operation to event-based programming.

 The main idea of this model is that an actor is able to wait for a message by using two different operations, which try to remove a message from the current actor's mailbox. To do so, a partial function must be given to the operation, that specifies a set of message patterns. These are {\itshape receive} and {\itshape react}. An actor can suspend with a full thread stack (receive) or it can suspend with just a continuation closure (react) \cite{Haller:2009:SAU:1496391.1496422}. The first operation of an actor to wait for an message is equal to thread-based programming and the second operation to event-based programming.

 receive:         def receive[R](f: PartialFunction[Any, R]): R

 \subparagraph{receive:} The current actor's mailbox get scanned and if there is one message which matches one of the patterns declared in the partial function, the message is removed from the mailbox and the partial function is applied to the message, the result is returned. The declaration of receive:

 The current actor's mailbox get scanned and if there is one message which matches one of the patterns declared in the partial function, the message is removed from the mailbox and the partial function is applied to the message, the result is returned. Otherwise the current thread blocks. Thus the receiving actor has the ability to execute normally when receiving a message which matches.  Note that receive retains the complete call stack of the receiving actor; the actor’s behavior is therefore a sequential program which corresponds to thread-based programming [2.P]. \\

 $$\mathit{def}\;\mathit{receive}\mathit{[R]}(f: \mathit{PartialFunction}[Any, R]): \mathit{R}$$

 react:          

 Otherwise the current thread blocks. Thus the receiving actor has the ability to execute normally when receiving a message which matches.  Note that receive retains the complete call stack of the receiving actor; the actor’s behavior is therefore a sequential program which corresponds to thread-based programming \cite{Haller:2009:SAU:1496391.1496422}.

 \subparagraph{react:} The action which is specified in the partial function is the last code that the current actor executes, if the message is matching. The declaration of react:

 The action which is specified in the partial function is the last code that the current actor executes, if the message is matching. The partial function gets registered by the current actor and the underlying thread gets released. React has the return type Nothing, this means that the method never returns normally. When the actor receives a matching message, the earlier registered partial function gets called and the actor's execution gets continued. The partial function f which corresponds to a set of event handlers [2.P]. \\

 The partial function gets registered by the current actor and the underlying thread gets released. React has the return type Nothing, this means that the method never returns normally. When the actor receives a matching message, the earlier registered partial function gets called and the actor's execution gets continued. The partial function f which corresponds to a set of event handlers \cite{Haller:2009:SAU:1496391.1496422}. 

 For this implementation multiple acotrs are executed by multiple threads and therefore a thread pool is used. Whenever it is necessary the pool can be re sized, to support the operations of the thread-based and event-based model. If only operations of the event-based model are executed then the thread pool could be fixed. To avoid system-included deadlocks, if some actors use thread-based operations, the thread pool has to grow, because if there are outstanding tasks and every worker thread is occupied by a blocked actor, new threads are necessary. \\

 Since the communication between actors takes place through asynchronous message passing, asynchronous operations get executed, tasks have to be created and submitted to a thread pool for execution. A new task is created, when an actor spawns a new actor or a message, which enables an actor to continue, is send to an actor which is suspended in a react operation or by calling react, where a message can be immediately removed from the mailbox.\\

 The importance of connecting the ML-world with the world of user interfaces has been is discussed in Sect.\ref{ml-users}. jEdit follows these lines, it is an open-source, Java-based text editor that works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. A big advantage of jEdit is, that there is a very good and also simple way to use and write a Plugin. There are a lot of useful and powerful Plugins available in the net and it is also possible to use a existing Plugin as part of a new one. Because of this facts, jEdit is very suitable for a project like Isabelle and also for the Isac-project at TU-Graz. \\\\

 Each jEdit-Plugin basically consists of source files, written in Java or Scala, XML-files and property files. The XML-Files are important for the administration of a Plugin and provides information like the name, author, ... of the Plugin. They are also containing small pieces of BeanShell code which is executed upon a user request. (Like pressing the 'start plugin' button.) So the XML-files provide the “glue” between user input and specific Plugin routines located in the source files. As you see, this files are used as interface between the Plugin and the jEdit engine itself.\\

 A build-file like \textit{build.xml} contains one project and at least one (default) target. Targets contain task elements. Each task element of the build-file can have an id attribute and can later be referred to by the value supplied to this. So the id has to be unique. Such targets can be "run", "debug", "build", ... and can have dependencies to other targets. Tasks define what should happen, if a target is executed. So like in the example above, the target is \textit{pre-jar}, that means that this things will happen before the jar-package is packed. The tasks of this target are copying some files into the package.\\

 jEdit is completely written in Java and the required plugin(s) for Isac will be coded in Scala - so there must be ways to exchange data between Java and Scala. One way is to connect this two worlds with the in 4.2 described XML-files. Here you need to use a third type of code to get an interface between Java and Scala code. But there is also a way to get a direct connection.\\

 This link should be shown on the graphic-library \textit{Swing}. In both languages it is possible to use Swing which provides a lot of different shapes and useful functionality. So there is a Java-Swing and also a Scala-Swing-library. Now it is interesting to examine the connection between this two libraries.\\

 In Scala a direct use of Java-Libs (like Java-Swing) is possible. So if you are Java-Programmer and want to use Java-Swing in Scala, you can simply type \textit{import javax.swing.JButton} to work with a Java-button. But you can also use the Scala-equivalent \textit{scala.swing.Button}. This two button-types will provide nearly the same functionality.\\So what is the idea of creating a nearly similar library a second time? Why have the Scala-developers done such extra work? The answer is, that they have tried to improve and simplify the usage of the Swing-library(and many other libs too!). So big parts of this Scala-Libraries are just Wrapper-objects, Wrapper-Classes and Wrapper-Methods of already existing parts in Java-Libraries. Needless to say that they also added new useful shapes and functionality.\\

 This link should be shown on the graphic-library \textit{Swing}. In both languages it is possible to use Swing which provides a lot of different shapes and useful functionality. So there is a Java-Swing and also a Scala-Swing-library. Now it is interesting to examine the connection between this two libraries.

 In Scala a direct use of Java-Libs (like Java-Swing) is possible. So if you are Java-Programmer and want to use Java-Swing in Scala, you can simply type\\ \textit{import javax.swing.JButton}\footnote{http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JButton.html} to work with a Java-button. But you can also use the Scala-equivalent \textit{scala.swing.Button}\footnote{http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/swing/Button.html}. This two button-types will provide nearly the same functionality.

 So what is the idea of creating a nearly similar library a second time? Why have the Scala-developers done such extra work? The answer is, that they have tried to improve and simplify the usage of the Swing-library(and many other libs too!). So big parts of this Scala-Libraries are just Wrapper-objects, Wrapper-Classes and Wrapper-Methods of already existing parts in Java-Libraries. Needless to say that they also added new useful shapes and functionality.
