Abstract. We present a categorical denotational semantics for a database mapping, based on views, in the most general framework of a database integration/exchange. Developed databa...
Quest is a programming language based on impredicative type quantifiers and subtyping within a three-level structure of kinds, types and type operators, and values. The semantics ...
Final coalgebras for a functor serve as semantic domains for state based systems of various types. For example, formal languages, streams, nonwell-founded sets and behaviors of CCS...
Game semantics is an unusual denotational semantics in that it captures the intensional (or algorithmic) and dynamical aspects of the computation. This makes it an ideal semantica...
Terms are a concise representation of tree structures. Since they can be naturally defined by an inductive type, they offer data structures in functional programming and mechanis...
