An Operational Petri Net Semantics for the Join-Calculus [PDF]
We present a concurrent operational Petri net semantics for the join-calculus, a process calculus for specifying concurrent and distributed systems. There often is a gap between system specifications and the actual implementations caused by synchrony ...

Sequential Composition in the Presence of Intermediate Termination (Extended Abstract) [PDF]
The standard operational semantics of the sequential composition operator gives rise to unbounded branching and forgetfulness when transparent process expressions are put in sequence.

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.

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,

A Provenance Tracking Model for Data Updates [PDF]
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.

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

On Coevaluation Behavior and Equivalence
Coevaluation, the coinductive interpretation of standard big-step evaluation rules, is a concise form of semantics, with the same number of rules as in evaluation, which intends to simultaneously describe finite and infinite computations.

A Modular Structural Operational Semantics for Delimited Continuations [PDF]
It has been an open question as to whether the Modular Structural Operational Semantics framework can express the dynamic semantics of call/cc. This paper shows that it can, and furthermore, demonstrates that it can express the more general delimited ...

Enhanced Operational Semantics in Systems Biology [PDF]
We are faced with a great challenge: the cross-fertilization between the fields of formal methods for concurrency, in the computer science domain, and systems biology in the biological ...
