Semantics for Prolog with Cut – Revisited [PDF]
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
The development of the C-light project resulted in the application of new formalisms and implementation techniques which facilitate the verification process.

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]
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]
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]
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
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]
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]
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]
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 ...
