Semantics for Prolog with Cut – Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper revisits the semantics for Prolog with cut from the perspective of formulating a semantic base that is amenable to abstract interpretation. It argues that such a semantics should separate the question of divergence from questions pertaining to

Automatic C Program Verification Based on Mixed Axiomatic Semantics

open access: yesМоделирование и анализ информационных систем, 2013
The development of the C-light project resulted in the application of new formalisms and implementation techniques which facilitate the verification process.

Operational Improvements to Reduce the Climate Impact of Aviation—A Comparative Study from EU Project ClimOP

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Aviation significantly contributes to anthropogenic radiative forcing with both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions. In contrast to technical advancements to mitigate the climate impact, operational measures can benefit from short implementation times and thus are

An operational semantics for android activities [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN 2014 Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation, 2014
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 ...

Modeling Simply-Typed Lambda Calculi in the Category of Finite Vector Spaces [PDF]

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Operational Semantics for MSC'96 [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Networks, 1999
Recently, the ITU-standardised specification language Message Sequence Chart has been extended with constructs for more complete and structured specifications. The new version of the language is called MSC'96. Currently, research is performed on the extension of the formal semantics towards a semantics for MSC'96.

KST: Executable Formal Semantics of IEC 61131-3 Structured Text for Verification

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are special purpose computers designed to perform industrial automation tasks. They require highly reliable control programs, particularly when used in safetycritical systems such as nuclear power stations.

An Operational Semantics of Graph Transformation Systems Using Symmetric Nets [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
Graph transformation systems (GTS) have been successfully proposed as a general, theoretically sound model for concurrency. Petri nets (PN), on the other side, are a central and intuitive formalism for concurrent or distributed systems, well supported by

Syntax and Semantics for Operations with Scopes [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science, 2018
Motivated by the problem of separating syntax from semantics in programming with algebraic effects and handlers, we propose a categorical model of abstract syntax with so-called scoped operations. As a building block of a term, a scoped operation is not merely a node in a tree, as it can also encompass a whole part of the term (a scope).

Action semantics in retrospect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper is a themed account of the action semantics project, which Peter Mosses has led since the 1980s. It explains his motivations for developing action semantics, the inspirations behind its design, and the foundations of action semantics based on ...
