Extending MultiJava with generics

MultiJava is an extension of the Java Programming Language with open classes and symmetric multiple dispatch. This thesis extends MultiJava by adding support for parametric polymorphism, which allows the definition and implementation of generic abstractions. Multiple dispatch has limited interaction with generics due to the semantics of generics chosen for Java. The interesting problem is how to mix MultiJava\u27s open classes feature with the new generic feature. This thesis explains extensions to MultiJava\u27s Semantics and describes the implementation of generics as an extension to the MJC compiler
