Operational semantics is a category of formal programming language semantics in which certain desired properties of a program, such as correctness, safety...

called axiomatic semantics. In the 1970s, the terms operational semantics and denotational semantics emerged. The field of formal semantics encompasses all...

providing formal semantics of programming languages include axiomatic semantics and operational semantics. Broadly speaking, denotational semantics is concerned...

styles of formal specifications for behavior, axiomatic semantics and operational semantics. Despite not being part of the interface, the constraints...

Algebraic semantics (computer science) — in terms of algebras Denotational semantics — by translation of the program into another language Operational semantics...

Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning. It examines what meaning is, how words get their meaning, and how the meaning of a complex expression depends...

computations to be cut short (that is, reduced). Likewise, the operational semantics of simply typed lambda calculus can be fixed as for the untyped...

structural operational semantics (SOS) and his work on denotational semantics. In particular, his notes on A Structural Approach to Operational Semantics were...

in the 1990s. It is a mixture of denotational, operational and algebraic semantics. Action semantics aim to be pragmatic, and action-semantic descriptions...

Operational semantics not requiring programs to be accompanied by types are named type-erasure semantics, in contrast with type-passing semantics. Type-erasure...
