A Formalisation of Core Erlang, a Concurrent Actor Language
Péter Bereczky, Dániel Horpácsi, Simon Thompson
In order to reason about the behaviour of programs described in a programming language, a mathematically rigorous definition of that language is needed. In this paper, we present a…
A Frame Stack Semantics for Sequential Core Erlang
Péter Bereczky, Dániel Horpácsi, Simon Thompson
We present a small-step, frame stack style, semantics for sequential Core Erlang, a dynamically typed, impure functional programming language. The semantics and the properties that…
Program Equivalence in an Untyped, Call-by-value Lambda Calculus with Uncurried Recursive Functions
Dániel Horpácsi, Péter Bereczky, Simon Thompson
We aim to reason about the correctness of behaviour-preserving transformations of Erlang programs. Behaviour preservation is characterised by semantic equivalence. Based upon our e…
A Comparison of Big-step Semantics Definition Styles
Péter Bereczky, Dániel Horpácsi, Simon Thompson
Formal semantics provides rigorous, mathematically precise definitions of programming languages, with which we can argue about program behaviour and program equivalence by formal m…
A Proof Assistant Based Formalisation of Core Erlang
Péter Bereczky, Dániel Horpácsi, Simon Thompson
Our research is part of a wider project that aims to investigate and reason about the correctness of scheme-based source code transformations of Erlang programs. In order to formal…
