On 0-Complete Partial Metric Spaces and Quantitative Fixed Point Techniques in Denotational Semantics [PDF]

open access: goldAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
In 1994, Matthews introduced the notion of partial metric space with the aim of providing a quantitative mathematical model suitable for program verification.

A Denotational Semantics for Communicating Unstructured Code [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015
An important property of programming language semantics is that they should be compositional. However, unstructured low-level code contains goto-like commands making it hard to define a semantics that is compositional. In this paper, we follow the ideas

A Denotational Semantics for SPARC TSO [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2019
The SPARC TSO weak memory model is defined axiomatically, with a non-compositional formulation that makes modular reasoning about programs difficult.

Denotational cost semantics for functional languages with inductive types [PDF]

open access: greenACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming, 2015
A central method for analyzing the asymptotic complexity of a functional program is to extract and then solve a recurrence that expresses evaluation cost in terms of input size.

On the equivalence of game and denotational semantics for the probabilistic mu-calculus [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2012
The probabilistic (or quantitative) modal mu-calculus is a fixed-point logic de- signed for expressing properties of probabilistic labeled transition systems (PLTS).

Semantics-based Automated Web Testing [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015
We present TAO, a software testing tool performing automated test and oracle generation based on a semantic approach. TAO entangles grammar-based test generation with automated semantics evaluation using a denotational semantics framework.

Quantum Alternation: Prospects and Problems [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015
We propose a notion of quantum control in a quantum programming language which permits the superposition of finitely many quantum operations without performing a measurement.

A Denotational Semantics for First-Order Logic [PDF]

open access: green, 2000
In Apt and Bezem [AB99] (see cs.LO/9811017) we provided a computational interpretation of first-order formulas over arbitrary interpretations. Here we complement this work by introducing a denotational semantics for first-order logic.

Semantics for a Quantum Programming Language by Operator Algebras [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
This paper presents a novel semantics for a quantum programming language by operator algebras, which are known to give a formulation for quantum theory that is alternative to the one by Hilbert spaces.
