Abstract

During the development of a software system, many errors, both physical and logical, sneak into the source code. However, the system’s ability to work properly depends on the ability to find these errors and get rid of them. To this objective, a controller is needed to find and eliminate both types of errors. In this paper, we suggest an approach to a semantic controller, including a syntactic check, by applying tags to production rules. The syntactic check of the controller takes care of the physical errors, and the semantic check takes care of the logical ones.
