In programming, the two key concepts often surface when discussing the quality and functionality of code are syntax and semantics. While syntax refers to the structure and rules that code must adhere ...

In this text we’ll talk about syntax and semantics, so it’s important that we understand what these terms mean, particularly in the context of computer programming. In a (natural) language course—say ...

This course is about understanding and reasoning about programs and programming languages. Any programming language an be studied at a number of di erent (but related) levels.

Abstract: The study of fixpoints has long been at the heart of logic programming. However, whereas least fixpoint semantics works well for SLD‐refutations (i.e. is sound and complete), there is no ...

Abstract: Software programming requires both API reference (know-what ... This fusion creates nine categories of API semantic relations and two types of task semantic relations which are not present ...

I will present our K-based language-independent verification framework that can be instantiated with an operational semantics to automatically generate a program verifier. The framework treats both ...
