We explain the main ingredients of the Abstract State Machines (ASM) method for high-level
system design and analysis and survey some of its application highlights in industrial …

This paper presents K-Java, a complete executable formal semantics of Java 1.4. K-Java
was extensively tested with a test suite developed alongside the project, following the Test …

This article presents the formal semantics of a large subset of the C language called Clight.
Clight includes pointer arithmetic, struct and union types, C loops and structured switch …

JavaScript is the most widely used web language for client-side applications. Whilst the
development of JavaScript was initially just led by implementation, there is now increasing …

This paper presents the formal verification of a compiler front-end that translates a subset of
the C language into the Cminor intermediate language. The semantics of the source and …

The proposed method provides this support by a combination of its abstraction concept and
its operational character: models come as behavioral models in the precise and simple form …

In this paper we introduce a new research effort in making abstract state machines (ASMs)
executable. The aim is to specify and implement an execution engine for a language that is …

We introduce into and survey the ASM method for high-level system design and analysis.
We explain the three notions—Abstract State Machine [37], ASM ground model (system …

Abstract LLVM [Lattner and Adve, 2004] is designed for the compile-time, link-time and run-
time optimization of programs written in various programming languages. The language …

We define an extensible semantical framework for business process modeling notations.
Since our definition starts from scratch, it helps to faithfully link the understanding of …
