An operational semantics for android activities [PDF]
We define an operational semantics for a large part of the Android platform, encompassing the Dalvik bytecode but also, and more importantly, the inter-component communication mechanism used inside Android applications. This semantics is intended to provide a formal basis for the development of static analyses that consider the complex flow of ...

Extended Connectors: Structuring Glue Operators in BIP [PDF]
Based on a variation of the BIP operational semantics using the offer predicate introduced in our previous work, we extend the algebras used to model glue operators in BIP to encompass priorities.

Modeling operational semantics of machine instructions
This paper offers a model which allows describe operational semantics of machine instructions for various target architectures. Feature of this model is that it is intended for reverse transformation compared with classical compilation one, however the ...

Categorical model of structural operational semantics for imperative language
Definition of programming languages consists of the formal definition of syntax and semantics. One of the most popular semantic methods used in various stages of software engineering is structural operational semantics.

Timed Operational Semantics and Well-Formedness of Shape Calculus [PDF]
The Shape Calculus is a bio-inspired calculus for describing 3D shapes moving in a space. A shape forms a 3D process when combined with a behaviour. Behaviours are specified with a timed CCS-like process algebra using a notion of channel that models ...

Towards a mathematical operational semantics [PDF]
We present a categorical theory of 'well-behaved' operational semantics which aims at complementing the established theory of domains and denotational semantics to form a coherent whole. It is shown that, if the operational rules of a programming language can be modelled as a natural transformation of a suitable general form, depending on functorial ...

First Class Call Stacks: Exploring Head Reduction [PDF]
Weak-head normalization is inconsistent with functional extensionality in the call-by-name λ-calculus. We explore this problem from a new angle via the conflict between extensionality and effects. Leveraging ideas from work on the λ-calculus with control,

Dynamic structural operational semantics
We introduce Dynamic SOS as a framework for describing semantics of programming languages that include dynamic software upgrades, for upgrading software code during run-time. Dynamic SOS (DSOS) is built on top of the Modular SOS of P. Mosses, with an underlying category theory formalization.

Structural operational semantics for stochastic and weighted transition systems
We introduce weighted GSOS, a general syntactic framework to specify well-behaved transition systems where transitions are equipped with weights coming from a commutative monoid.

Causality in the Semantics of Esterel: Revisited [PDF]
We re-examine the challenges concerning causality in the semantics of Esterel and show that they pertain to the known issues in the semantics of Structured Operational Semantics with negative premises. We show that the solutions offered for the semantics
