Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to present the structural operational approach to programming language semantics. A number of paradigmatic untyped and typed languages will be introduced. The entire course will focus on the concepts of operational semantics and type system. Formal techniques for verifying the behavior of programs will be introduced.
At the end of the course students should
• be familiar with rule-based presentations of the operational semantics and type systems for some simple imperative, functional and interactive program constructs
• be able to prove properties of an operational semantics using various forms of induction (mathematical, structural, and rule-based)
• be familiar with some operationally-based notions of semantic equivalence of program phrases and their basic properties
Program
