A number of authors have exported domain-theoretic techniques from denotational semantics to the operational study of contextual equivalence and preorder. We further develop this,...
In this paper we investigate the addition of first-class relationships to a prototypical object-oriented programming language (a “middleweight” fragment of Java). We provide ...
Work on agent communication languages has since long striven to achieve adequate speech act semantics; partly, the problem is that references to an agent’s architecture (in parti...
Abstract. This paper extends the recent work [CMT00] on the operational semantics and type system for a core language, called MiniMLBN ref , which exploits the notion of closed typ...
Curry is a multi-paradigm declarative language covering functional, logic, and concurrent programming paradigms. Curry’s operational semantics is based on lazy reduction of expre...
