  An introduction to metric semantics: operational and denotational models for programming and specification languages
Breugell F. Theoretical Computer Science 258(1-2): 1-98, 2001.  Type: Article

This paper is a tutorial introduction to semantics based on metric spaces. Similar material has appeared before in research papers, collections [1], and monographs [2,3]....

  A denotational semantics for a process-based simulation language
Tofts C., Birtwistle G. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 8(3): 281-305, 1998.  Type: Article

The authors describe a formal translation from &mgr;Demos, the kernel of the process-based simulation language Demos, to Milner’s CCS process algebra. They call this translation a denotational semantics and claim that it ...

  Tail recursion through universal invariants
Jay C. Theoretical Computer Science 115(1): 151-189, 1993.  Type: Article

Fixed points and initial algebras are familiar techniques in the semantics of data types. This work proposes the use of invariants, which are, in a certain sense, dual to fixed points. The aim is to interpret data types in a way that c...

  On a generalized product for domains
Dosch W. Theoretical Computer Science 119(1): 103-125, 1993.  Type: Article

The domain operation described is an n-ary product that allows an arbitrary specified subset of the n components of n-ary tuples to be the “bottoms” of their ...

  Integrating the structured analysis and design models: a category-theoretic approach
Tse T. Australian Computer Journal 19(1): 25-31, 1987.  Type: Article

This work outlines an attempt to use category-theoretic concepts to unify and integrate various approaches to system analysis and design. A category of structured task specifications and abstractions is defined. It is then claimed, tho...

  Introduction to higher order categorical logic
Lambek J., Scott P., Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 1986.  Type: Book (9789780521246651)

This book attempts to reconcile two approaches to the foundations of mathematics: mathematical logic and category theory. The contents can be briefly summarized as follows. There is an introductory Part 0 on category theory, following ...

  Two complete axiom systems for a theory of communicating sequential processes
de Nicola R. Information and Control 64(1-3): 136-172, 1985.  Type: Article

The first part of this paper presents a set of axioms which is shown to be complete relative to the “refusals set” semantics of Brookes et al. [1] for a CSP-like language. In the second part, slightly different sema...

  The denotational semantics of dynamic networks of processes
de Bruin A., Böhm W. ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems 7(4): 656-679, 1985.  Type: Article

This paper presents a formal description of a language based on the well-known Kahn and MacQueen model of parallel processes [1,2]. The main semantic idea (fixed-points of stream functions) was already given in the original papers, but...

  A basic abstract semantic algebra
Mosses P.  Semantics of data types (, Sophia-Antipolis, France, Jun 27-29, 1984) 1081984.  Type: Proceedings

The author here continues his long-term project of trying to improve the modularity, modifiability, and comprehensibility of semantic descriptions by the use of “abstract semantic algebras” (i.e., axiomatically-spec...
