Denotational and operational semantics for prolog
The semantics of PROLOG programs is usually given in terms of the model theory of first-order logic. However, this does not adequately characterize the computational behavior of PROLOG programs. PROLOG implementations typically use a sequential evaluation strategy based on the textual order of clauses and literals in a program, as well as nonlogical ...

Denotational semantics for occam [PDF]
A denotational semantics is given for a large subset of occam, a programming language for concurrent systems. The semantic domain used is a "failure-sets" model modified to allow machine states to be properly dealt with. The applications of the semantics are discussed briefly, and we see how the natural congruence induced by the semantics allows us to ...

Semantic Variability of the Word ‘Creature’ in Elizabethan Prose Fiction [PDF]
The present research focuses on the exploration of the meaning of the word ‘creature’ in the context of Elizabethan prose fiction. The inherent vagueness and ambiguity of the lexeme ‘creature’, comprising diverse meanings, yields its multiple readings

Modularity in Denotational Semantics
AbstractWe consider a modular approach to denotational semantics. We reformulate and extend the idea of monads as notions of computation to algebraic structure together with a construction of an extended semantic category. We show that upon making that reformulation, one can obtain some account of modularity, in particular accounting for the ...
