WHY DENOTATIONAL?

Fundamenta Informaticae, 1996
This is an essay where the author expresses his views on applied denotational semantics. In the author's opinion, whether a software system has or does not have a sufficiently abstract denotational semantics should be regarded as a pragmatic attribute of the system rather than merely as a mathematical attribute of its description.

CPP denotational semantics

Proceedings Third IEEE International Workshop on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation, 2004
We show that CPP, the preprocessor of the C language, can be seen as a programming language in which directives are statements, parametrized macros are functions, files are procedures, directories are modules, and command lines are programs. The semantics of CPP can therefore be described using traditional techniques.

Continuous Denotational Semantics

1991
The development of a programming logic in the scope of classical first -order logic is connected with making the formal notions, used to describe program properties, internal. This can be ensured by defining the definability of these notions in the logic in question.

Denotational semantics of concurrency

Proceedings of the fourteenth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing - STOC '82, 1982
A general framework for the denotational treatment of concurrency is introduced. The key idea is the notion of process which is element of a domain obtained as solution of a domain equation in the style as considered previously by Plotkin. We use tools from metric topology as advocated by Nivat to solve this equation, show how operations upon processes

Definable Denotational Semantics

1991
In this chapter we show how an appropriate first-order language can be built up to describe the properties of rP σ 1 -programs. Here we also use the logical tools introduced in Chapter 13, and the method of the development of the required dynamic logics is similar to that used in the previous chapter.

Denotational Semantics

1995
Abstract Designers, implementers, and serious users of a programming language need a complete and accurate understanding of the semantics (the intended meaning) of every construct of that language. The semantic descriptions in reference manuals and language standards are almost always inadequate because they are based primarily on ...

Extending CSP: denotational semantics

IEE Proceedings - Software, 2003
Modern CSP is an algebra which describes processes which engage in events. Its characteristic comprehensiveness combined with simplicity arises in large part from the fact that it was originally defined by a denotational semantics. This sets it apart from other process algebras.
