The Problem of Programming Language Concurrency Semantics [PDF]
Despite decades of research, we do not have a satisfactory concurrency semantics for any general-purpose programming language that aims to support concurrent systems code.

Regulating Data Exchange in Service Oriented Applications [PDF]
We define a type system for COWS, a formalism for specifying and combining services, while modelling their dynamic behaviour. Our types permit to express policies constraining data exchanges in terms of sets of service partner names attachable to each ...

A Fibrational Tale of Operational Logical Relations: Pure, Effectful and Differential [PDF]
Logical relations built on top of an operational semantics are one of the most successful proof methods in programming language semantics. In recent years, more and more expressive notions of operationally-based logical relations have been designed and ...

Operational and denotational semantics of prolog
A Vienna Definition Language operational semantics of PROLOG, which includes the cut, the database, and the extra-logical operations, is presented. This semantics serves as the basis for deriving a denotational-continuation-style semantics of PROLOG through a systematic transformation of the operational semantics by a method described by Berry.

Operational Semantics of Security Protocols [PDF]
Based on a concise domain analysis we develop a formal semantics of security protocols. Its main virtue is that it is a generic model, in the sense that it is parameterized over e.g. the intruder model. Further characteristics of the model are a straightforward handling of parallel execution of multiple protocols, locality of security claims, the ...

Process versus Unfolding Semantics for Place/Transition Petri Nets
In the last few years, the semantics of Petri nets has been investigated in several different ways. Apart from the classical "token game," one can model the behaviour of Petri nets via non-sequential processes, via unfolding constructions, which provide ...

Two Semantics of Trust Management Language with Negation
The family of Role-based Trust management languages is used for representing security policies by defining a formalism, which uses credentials to handle trust in decentralized, distributed access control systems.

Multi-Agent Systems with Information Sharing: Strategies and Model Checking
We introduce a prototyping language for multi-agent systems with information sharing, allowing agents to act in parallel and to migrate between distributed locations according to explicit timers.

Operational methods in semantics
The focus of these lecture notes is on abstract models and basic ideas and results that relate to the operational semantics of programming languages largely conceived. The approach is to start with an abstract description of the computation steps of programs and then to build on top semantic equivalences, specification languages, and static analyses ...
