Semantics

de REX Workshop (1992 Beekbergen, Netherlands), J. W. De Bakker, W. P. De Roever

"Researchers working on the semantics of programming languages came together in The Netherlands in June 1992 for a workshop on Semantics - Foundations and Applications. This volume is based on the meeting and contains material prepared by the lecturers after the meeting took place. The volume includes papers on a wide range of topics in both foundationsand applications, including: - Comparative domain theory, category theory, information systems, - Concurrency: process algebras, asynchronous communication, action semantics, trace nets, process refinement, concurrent constraint programming, - Predicate transformers, refinement, weakest preconditions, - Comparative semantics of programming concepts, full abstraction, - Reasoning about programs: total correctness, epistemic logic, - Logic programming, - Functional programming: sequentiality, integration with concurrency, applied structured operational semantics. The workshop was an activity of the project REX (Research andEducation in Concurrent Systems) sponsored by the Netherlands NFI (NationaleFaciliteit Informatica) Programme."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.
