Abstract
In Semantics, one studies functions M: L → P, mapping the language L to a semantic domain P. We provide an overview of recent progress along the axes
-
identifying, comparing and unifying the control flow principles of present day programming languages L
-
designing the variety of semantic models P (input-output/trace-based, uniform/nonuniform, linear/branching, …)
-
the two ways of defining M (or is there only one way?).
