This book provides a rigorous introduction to the formal semantics of programming languages. Coverage includes the fundamental ideas behind these approaches, stresses their relationship by formulating and proving the relevant theorems, and illustrates the applications of semantics in computer science.
The book introduces a novel framework that enhances the type notation used in functional programming languages by incorporating a specific notation to differentiate between run-time and compile-time behaviors. This extension aims to improve clarity and understanding of type systems, facilitating better programming practices and error detection in functional languages.
Focusing on formal methods, this textbook covers the semantics of essential programming constructs and techniques for program analysis and verification. The authors introduce program graphs to represent control structures, aiming to strike a balance between generality and conceptual complexity, making the material accessible while providing a robust foundation for understanding program behavior and correctness.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th Nordic Conference on Secure IT Systems, NordSec 2013, held in Ilulissat, Greenland, in October 2013. The 18 revised regular papers together with 3 short papers and one invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on formal analysis of security protocols, cyber-physical systems, security policies, information flow, security experiences, Web security, and network security.
This volume presents the refereed proceedings from the 14th International Symposium on Static Analysis. The papers address all aspects of static analysis, including abstract domains, abstract interpretation, abstract testing, compiler optimizations, control flow analysis, data flow analysis, model checking, program specialization, security analysis, theoretical analysis frameworks, type-based analysis, and verification systems.
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Sixth European Symposium on Programming, ESOP '96, held in Linköping, Sweden, in April 1996. The 23 revised full papers included were selected from a total of 63 submissions; also included are invited papers by Cliff B. Jones and by Simon L. Peyton Jones. The book is devoted to fundamental issues in the specification, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and systems; the emphasis is on research issues bridging the gap between theory and practice. Among the topics addressed are software specification and verification, programming paradigms, program semantics, advanced type systems, program analysis, program transformation, and implementation techniques.
