Book Price $0 : During The Last Three Decades Several Different Styles Of Semantics For Program­ Ming Languages Have Been Developed. This Book Compares Two Of Them: The Operational And The Denotational Approach. On The Basis Of Several Exam­ Ples We Show How To Define Operational And Denotational Semantic Models For Programming Languages. Furthermore, We Introduce A General Technique For Comparing Various Semantic Models For A Given Language. We Focus On Different Degrees Of Nondeterminism In Programming Lan­ Guages. Nondeterminism Arises Naturally In Concurrent Languages. It Is Also An Important Concept In Specification Languages. In The Examples Discussed, The Degree Of Non Determinism Ranges From A Choice Between Two Alternatives To A Choice Between A Collection Of Alternatives Indexed By A Closed Interval Of The Real Numbers. The Former Arises In A Language With Nondeterministic Choices. A Real Time Language With Dense Choices Gives Rise To The Latter. We Also Consider The Nondeterministic Random Assignment And Parallel Composition, Both Couched In A Simple Language. Besides Non Determinism Our Four Example Languages Contain Some Form Of Recursion, A Key Ingredient Of Programming Languages.
