K is an executable semantic framework in which programming languages, calculi, as well as
type systems or formal analysis tools can be defined, making use of configurations …

Rewriting logic is a flexible and expressive logical framework that unifies algebraic
denotational semantics and structural operational semantics (SOS) in a novel way, avoiding …

This paper shows how rewriting logic semantics (RLS) can be used as a computational logic
framework for operational semantic definitions of programming languages. Several …

Rewriting logic is an executable logical framework well suited for the semantic definition of
languages. Any such framework has to be judged by its effectiveness to bridge the existing …

In contrast to a transition system specification in process algebra, a structural operational
semantics (SOS) of a programming language usually involves auxiliary entities: stores …

This chapter targets a better understanding of the compositionality of analyses, including
different forms of compositionality and specific conditions of composition. Analysis involves …

Rewriting logic is a flexible and expressive logical framework that unifies denotational
semantics and SOS in a novel way, avoiding their respective limitations and allowing very …

This paper serves as a brief introduction to the K tool, a system for formally defining
programming languages. It is shown how sequential or concurrent languages can be …

K is a rewrite-based framework proposed for giving formal executable semantics to
programming languages and/or calculi. K departs from other rewrite-based frameworks in …

A plethora of programming languages have been and continue to be developed to keep
pace with hardware advancements and the ever more demanding requirements of software …
