This is an introduction to the philosophy and use of OBJ, emphasizing its oper-ational
semantics, with aspects of its history and its logical semantics. Release 2 of OBJ3 is …

The area of software verification has grown its importance in software engineering. This is a
bibliography of verification of a specialized class of softwares called compiler. The citations …

The fact that Z is a specification language only, with no associated program development
method, is a widely recognised problem. As an answer to that, we present ZRC, a refinement …

We present algebraic laws for a language similar to a subset of sequential Java that
includes inheritance, recursive classes, dynamic binding, access control, type tests and …

This paper presents a formal verification with the Coq proof assistant of a memory model for
C-like imperative languages. This model defines the memory layout and the operations that …

In this article we introduce a comprehensive set of algebraic laws for ROOL, a language
similar to sequential Java but with a copy semantics. We present a few laws of commands …

A crucial point in hardware/software co-design is how to perform the partitioning of a system
into hardware and software components. Although several algorithms to partitioning have …

This paper considers how the algebraic semantics for Verilog relates with its denotational
semantics. Our approach is to derive the denotational semantics from the algebraic …

As a system-level modelling language, SystemC possesses several novel features such as
delayed notifications, notification cancelling, notification overriding and delta-cycle. It also …

We give an overview of a proof-producing compiler which translates recursion equations,
defined in higher order logic, to assembly language. The compiler is implemented and …
