Orthogonal Extensions in Structural Operational Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we give novel and more liberal notions of operational and equational conservativity for language extensions. We motivate these notions by showing their practical application in existing formalisms. Based on our notions, we formulate and prove meta-theorems that establish conservative extensions for languages defined using Structural Operational Semantics (SOS).

Structural Congruences and Structural Operational Semantics
Structural congruences have been used to define the semantics and to capture inherent properties of language constructs. They have been used as an addendum to transition system specifications in Plotkin’s style of Structural Operational Semantics (SOS). However, there has been little theoretical work on establishing a formal link between theses two semantic specification frameworks. In this pap...
متن کاملFacilitating Modular Property-Preserving Extensions of Programming Languages
We will explore an approach to modular programming language descriptions and extensions in a denotational style. Based on a language core, language features are added stepwise on the core. Language features can be described separated from each other in a self-contained, orthogonal way. We present an extension semantics framework consisting of mechanisms to adapt semantics of a basic language to...
متن کاملPomsets for Message Sequence Charts
Message sequence charts (MSCs) are a standardised formalism for the specification of the system’s communication behaviour that is widely used by industry. Various extensions to MSCs have recently been standardised by the ITU. This paper treats the extension of MSCs with structural operators that allow the hierarchical composition of MSCs. In particular, we propose a linear-time partial-order se...
متن کاملK-Stores A Spatial and Epistemic Concurrent Constraint Interpreter
Concurrent constraint programming (ccp) is a mature formalism for reasoning about concurrent systems that exhibit a constrained behavior. Spatial ccp and epistemic ccp are two novel variants of ccp currently being developed by Knight and Valencia. These variants model systems with spatial hierarchies of group information and knowledge. These systems are ubiquitous due to the advent of social ne...
متن کاملReconstruction of paradigm shifts
There are many extensions of the basic attribute grammar formalism intended to improve its pragmatics, e.g. certain modularity concepts, remote access, object-orientation, templates, rule models and higher-order features. In the paper, a generic and formal approach to an effective and orthogonal reconstruction of the concepts underlying some extensions is described. The reconstruction is effect...
