nondeterminism

• This is very close to gambling, but the nondeterminism comes directly from the actions of other users, not the randomness of a dice roll or a deck of cards, so while Swoopo hasn't quite crossed the line, they can see it from where they stand. —  The Register
• Unfortunately, that implementation did not necessarily satisfy the semantics, because it allowed the nondeterminism of thread scheduling to leak through. —  Planet Haskell
• Thus, in the presence of two specific computational effects -- storage and escapes -- any expressible monadic structure (e.g., nondeterminism as represented by the list monad) can be added as a purely definitional extension, without requiring a reinterpretation of the whole language. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• The paper includes an implementation of the construction (in Standard ML with some New Jersey extensions) and several examples. actor bio cloud concurrent dataflow datastructures functionalprogramming gpgpu grammar graphics grid haskell hpc kdtree llvm messagepassing monad multicore nondeterminism os parallel petrinets pl provenance threads typesystem verification workflow CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• Having objects update pseudo-randomly simulates the parallel operation of cells in culture and the nondeterminism fundamental to living systems, while building in a controllable degree of uncertainty. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
