Description |
Action semantics is a semantic description framework with very goodpragmatic properties but until now a rather weak theory for reasoningabout programs. A strong action theory would have a great practicalpotential, as it would facilitate reasoning about the large class ofprogramming languages that can be described in action semantics.This report develops the foundations for a richer action theory, bybringing together concepts and techniques from process theory andfrom work on operational reasoning about functional programs. Semanticpreorders and equivalences in the action semantics setting arestudied and useful operational techniques for establishing contextualequivalences are presented. These techniques are applied to establishequational and inequational action laws and an induction rule.
