Decorated proofs for computational effects: States [PDF]
Electronic 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 ...

Electronic 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]
Logical 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 ...

An Experiment with Denotational Semantics [PDF]
SN Computer Science, 2019 The paper is devoted to showing how to systematically design a programming language in 'reverse order', i.e. from denotations to syntax. This construction is developed in an algebraic framework consisting of three many-sorted algebras: of denotations, of an abstract syntax and of a concrete syntax.

Semantics-based Automated Web Testing [PDF]
Electronic 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.

A Simple Semantics and Static Analysis for Stack Inspection [PDF]
Electronic 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 Model of Cooperative Threads [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2010 We develop a model of concurrent imperative programming with threads. We focus on a small imperative language with cooperative threads which execute without interruption until they terminate or explicitly yield control.

A Denotational Semantics for Circus
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2007 AbstractCircus specifications define both data and behavioural aspects of systems using a combination of Z and CSP. Previously, a denotational semantics has been given to Circus; however, as a shallow embedding of Circus in Z, it was not possible to use it to prove properties like the refinement laws that justify the distinguishing development ...

Modeling Simply-Typed Lambda Calculi in the Category of Finite Vector Spaces [PDF]
Scientific Annals of Computer Science, 2014 In this paper we use finite vector spaces (finite dimension, over finite fields) as a non-standard computational model of linear logic. We first define a simple, finite PCF-like lambda-calculus with booleans, and then we discuss two finite models, one ...

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