چکیده

The abstract state machine (ASM) is a modern computation model. ASMs and ASM based tools are used in academia and industry, albeit on a modest scale. They allow you to give high-level operational semantics to computer artifacts and to write executable specifications of software and hardware at the desired abstraction level. In connection with the 2006 conference on Developments in Language Theory, we point out several ways that we believe abstract state machines can be useful to the DLT community.

AsmL Semantics in Fixpoint

AsmL is a novel executable specification language based on the theory of Abstract State Machines (ASMs). It represents one of the most powerful practical engines to write and execute ASMs. In this report, we present a proven complete small-step trace-based operational semantics of the main parts of AsmL. Such a semantics provides precise and non ambiguous definitions of AsmL. It is very useful ...

Some improvements in fuzzy turing machines

In this paper, we improve some previous definitions of fuzzy-type Turing machines to obtain degrees of accepting and rejecting in a computational manner. We apply a BFS-based search method and some level’s upper bounds to propose a computational process in calculating degrees of accepting and rejecting. Next, we introduce the class of Extended Fuzzy Turing Machines equipped with indeterminacy s...

ASM Semantics for C++ 2.0

The Abstract State Machines (ASMs) theory has been applied to formalize the semantics of the C♯ programming language in a rigorous mathematical manner. We have extended the C♯ ASM model in order to handle C♯ 2.0 specific features like generics, anonymous methods and iterator blocks. We discovered that the existing operational model (the dynamic semantics) can be reused entirely. It is not alter...

Proceedings of the 15 th International Conference on Real - Time and Network Systems RTNS

We present a novel language for specifying real-time systems. The language addresses a key challenge in the design and analysis of real-time systems, namely the integration of functional and non-functional properties into a single specification language. The non-functional properties that can be expressed in the language include timing behavior and resource consumption. The language enables the...

Universal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...
