Semantics

freebase

 
Semantics is the study of meaning. The word "semantics" itself denotes a range of ideas, from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language to denote a problem of understanding that comes down to word selection or connotation. This problem of understanding has been the subject of many formal inquiries, over a long period of time. The word is derived from the Greek... Read enhanced Wikipedia article

linkage, study, roles, analysis, structures, conditions, rules, programs, creation and bind.

Results for "semantics include linkage"

Semantics Traditionally, semantics has included the study of sense and denotative reference, truth conditions, argument structure, thematic roles, discourse analysis, and the linkage of all of these to syntax.

Results for "semantics include rules"

Programming language For compiled languages, static semantics essentially include those semantic rules that can be checked at compile time.

Results for "semantics include programs"

Denotational semantics of the Actor model Thus Actor semantics includes sequential programs as a special case, and agrees with conventional semantics of such programs.

Results for "semantics include creation"

Join Java Join semantics try to provide explicit expressions of synchronization without breaching the object-oriented idea of modularization, including dynamic creation and destruction of processes and channels.

Results for "semantics include bind"

Alfred Korzybski The basic principles of general semantics, which include time-binding, are outlined in Science and Sanity, published in 1933.

provide :
title, mean, basis, nondeterminism, justification, definition, expressions, denotation, implementation and way.

Results for "semantics provide title"

Boris Yoffe Yoffe is a prolific theoretical writer as well as an expert on Romantic music, and his essays are a staple of the Russian internet forum "Musical Semantics," which also provided the title for his most recent CD.

Results for "semantics provide mean"

Promela The semantics of executability provides the basic means in Promela for modeling process synchronizations.

Results for "semantics provide basis"

Categorical logic In many cases, the categorical semantics of a logic provide a basis for establishing a correspondence between theories in the logic and instances of an appropriate kind of category.

Results for "semantics provide nondeterminism"

Actor model and process calculi history The semantics provided bounded nondeterminism unlike the Actor model with unbounded nondeterminism.

Results for "semantics provide justification"

Library (computing) The different semantics provide technical justification for this usage.

Results for "semantics provide definition"

Delay (programming) The denotational semantics of programming languages can be used to provide a definition of futures: An expression of the form delay <Expression> is defined by how it responds to an Eval message with environment E and customer C as follows: The delay expression sends C a newly created actor D which is a proxy for the value of the expression <Expression> that has a body <Expression> and an environment E that behaves as follows:

Results for "semantics provide expressions"

Join Java Join semantics try to provide explicit expressions of synchronization without breaching the object-oriented idea of modularization, including dynamic creation and destruction of processes and channels.

Results for "semantics provide denotation"

Denotational semantics As originally developed by Strachey and Scott, denotational semantics provided the denotation (meaning) of a computer program as a function that mapped input into output.

Results for "semantics provide implementation"

Denotational semantics A formal semantics need not always provide such an implementation, though, and to believe that semantics must provide an implementation leads to confusion about the formal semantics of concurrent languages.

Results for "semantics provide way"

Business semantics management Business semantics provide a kind of abstracted, federated, and virtualized way to access and deliver data in a more efficient and aligned manner.

describe :
transitions, semantics, computations, mean, effect, guarantees, concepts and information.

Results for "semantics describe transitions"

Formal semantics of programming languages Operational semantics may define an abstract machine (such as the SECD machine), and give meaning to phrases by describing the transitions they induce on states of the machine.

Results for "semantics describe semantics"

Formal semantics of programming languages Algebraic semantics describes semantics in terms of algebras;

Results for "semantics describe computations"

Formal semantics of programming languages Concurrency semantics is a catch-all term for any formal semantics that describes concurrent computations.

Results for "semantics describe mean"

Formal semantics of programming languages Predicate transformer semantics, developed by Edsger W. Dijkstra, describes the meaning of a program fragment as the function transforming a postcondition to the precondition needed to establish it.

Results for "semantics describe effect"

Axiomatic semantics Axiomatic semantics define the meaning of a command in a program by describing its effect on assertions about the program state.

Results for "semantics describe guarantees"

Regular semantics Regular semantics is a term which describes the guarantees provided by a data register shared by several processors in a parallel machine or in a network of computers working together.

Results for "semantics describe concepts"

Business semantics management Business Semantics describe the business concepts as they are used and needed by the business instead of describing the information from a technical point-of-view.

Results for "semantics describe information"

Business Object Model To describe the information processed by software modules, the semantics must be unified.

    Semantics (album)

    Semantics was a 1983 EP by iconic Australian surf rock band Australian Crawl. The album marked a change in the line up of the band as Bill McDonough (drums) was replaced first by Graham Bidstrup (ex-The Angels, The Party Boys with Crawl member James Reyne) to record the EP.

    General semantics

    General semantics is a non-Aristotelian educational discipline created by Alfred Korzybski (1879–1950) during the years 1919 to 1933. General Semantics is distinct from semantics (a sub-field of linguistics), a different subject.

    Denotational semantics

    In computer science, denotational semantics is an approach to formalizing the meanings of programming languages by constructing mathematical objects (called denotations) which describe the meanings of expressions from the languages. Other approaches to providing a formal semantics of programming languages include axiomatic semantics and operational semantics.

    Kripke semantics

    Kripke semantics (also known as relational semantics or frame semantics, and often confused with possible world semantics) is a formal semantics for non-classical logic systems created in the late 1950s and early 1960s by Saul Kripke, beginning when he was a teenager. It was first made for modal logics, and later adapted to intuitionistic logic and other non-classical systems.
