Predicate Calculus and Program Semantics
Author: Edsger W. Dijkstra
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461232287
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This booklet presents a reasonably self-contained theory of predicate trans former semantics. Predicate transformers were introduced by one of us (EWD) as a means for defining programming language semantics in a way that would directly support the systematic development of programs from their formal specifications. They met their original goal, but as time went on and program derivation became a more and more formal activity, their informal introduction and the fact that many of their properties had never been proved became more and more unsatisfactory. And so did the original exclusion of unbounded nondeterminacy. In 1982 we started to remedy these shortcomings. This little monograph is a result of that work. A possible -and even likely- criticism is that anyone sufficiently versed in lattice theory can easily derive all of our results himself. That criticism would be correct but somewhat beside the point. The first remark is that the average book on lattice theory is several times fatter (and probably less self contained) than this booklet. The second remark is that the predicate transformer semantics provided only one of the reasons for going through the pains of publication.

Relating State Transformation Semantics and Predicate Transformer Semantics for Parallel Programs
Author: Franck van Breugel
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Parallel programming (Computer science)
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Abstract: "A state transformation semantics and a predicate transformer semantics for programs built from atomic actions, sequential composition, nondeterministic choice, parallel composition, atomisation, and recursion are presented. Both semantic models are derived from some SOS-style labelled transition system. The state transformation semantics and the predicate transformer semantics are shown to be isomorphic extending results of Plotkin and Best."

A Paradigm for Program Semantics
Author: Chris Brink
Publisher: Stanford Univ Center for the Study
ISBN: 9781575863450
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This book provides a synthesis of four versions of program semantic--srelational semantics, predicate transformer semantics, information systems, and domain theory--showing, through an exhaustive case study analysis, that it is possible to do back-and-forth translation from any of these versions of program semantics into any of the others, and demonstrating that while there are many variations of each, in principle they may be thought of as intertranslatable.
