Semantics

Semantics is the study of meaning in communication. The word derives from Greek σημαντικός (semantikos), "significant", from σημαίνω (semaino), "to signify, to indicate" and that from σήμα (sema), "sign, mark, token". In linguistics it is the study of interpretation of signs as used by agents or communities within particular circumstances and contexts. It has related meanings in several other...

Results for "semantics include programs"

Communicating sequential processes The CSPM dialect of CSP possesses a formally defined operational semantics, which includes an embedded functional programming language.

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 study"

Semantics Traditionally, semantics has included the study of connotative 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 definition"

Enterprise messaging system Message body semantics – Message body semantics include the precise definition of all of the data elements in the body of the message.

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 provide denote"

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 foundations"

Formal semantics Model-theoretic semantics provides the foundations for an approach to the theory of meaning known as Truth-conditional semantics, which was pioneered by Donald Davidson.

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 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 nondeterminism"

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

Results for "semantics provide insights"

Wendell Johnson In 1956 his Your Most Enchanted Listener was published; in 1972, his Living With Change: The Semantics of Coping, a collection of selected portions of transcriptions of hundreds of his talks, organized by Dorothy Moeller, provided further general semantic insights.

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.

Results for "semantics use theories"

Formal semantics of programming languages Categorical (or "functorial") semantics uses category theory as the core mathematical formalism;

Default logic The following semantics use assertional theories:

Results for "semantics use substitution"

Actor model However, the semantics of the lambda calculus were expressed using variable substitution in which the values of parameters were substituted into the body of an invoked lambda expression.

Results for "semantics use models"

Second-order logic As mentioned above, Henkin proved that the standard deductive system for first-order logic is sound, complete, and effective for second-order logic with Henkin semantics, and the deductive system with comprehension and choice principles is sound, complete, and effective for Henkin semantics using only models that satisfy these principles.

Results for "semantics use points"

Abstract interpretation Program semantics are generally described using fixed points in the presence of loops or recursive procedures.

Results for "semantics use metaphor"

Formal semantics of programming languages Game semantics uses a metaphor inspired by game theory.

Results for "semantics use idea"

Stable model semantics The stable model semantics uses the same idea, but it does not explicitly refer to default logic.

Results for "semantics use subset"

Scheme (programming language) However, the Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), which provides a method of specifying SGML stylesheets, uses a Scheme subset.

Results for "semantics use structures"

Denotational semantics Independence of denotational and operational semantics: The denotational semantics should be formalized using mathematical structures that are independent of the operational semantics of a programming language;

    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.
