A Denotational Semantics for SPARC TSO

open access: diamond, 2018
The SPARC TSO weak memory model is defined axiomatically, with a non-compositional formulation that makes modular reasoning about programs difficult.

A Denotational Semantics for First-Order Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Elgot Algebras [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2006
Denotational semantics can be based on algebras with additional structure (order, metric, etc.) which makes it possible to interpret recursive specifications.

Decorated proofs for computational effects: States [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2012
The syntax of an imperative language does not mention explicitly the state, while its denotational semantics has to mention it. In this paper we show that the equational proofs about an imperative language may hide the state, in the same way as the ...

The stack calculus [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2013
We introduce a functional calculus with simple syntax and operational semantics in which the calculi introduced so far in the Curry-Howard correspondence for Classical Logic can be faithfully encoded.

Ticking clocks as dependent right adjoints: Denotational semantics for clocked type theory [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2020
Clocked Type Theory (CloTT) is a type theory for guarded recursion useful for programming with coinductive types, allowing productivity to be encoded in types, and for reasoning about advanced programming language features using an abstract form of step ...

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.

Inductive Definition and Domain Theoretic Properties of Fully Abstract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A construction of fully abstract typed models for PCF and PCF^+ (i.e., PCF + "parallel conditional function"), respectively, is presented. It is based on general notions of sequential computational strategies and wittingly consistent non-deterministic ...

A Simple Semantics and Static Analysis for Stack Inspection [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2013
The Java virtual machine and the .NET common language runtime feature an access control mechanism specified operationally in terms of run-time stack inspection. We give a denotational semantics in "eager" form, and show that it is equivalent to the "lazy"

A Provenance Tracking Model for Data Updates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
For data-centric systems, provenance tracking is particularly important when the system is open and decentralised, such as the Web of Linked Data. In this paper, a concise but expressive calculus which models data updates is presented.
