Membership algebra as a logical framework for equational specification

TL;DR: The paper presents the basic properties of the logic and its models, and discusses in detail how many total and partial equational specification formalisms can be represented in it, as well as the practical benefits in terms of tool reusability that this opens up for other languages, including CASL.
Book ChapterDOI

The Semantics of CLEAR, A Specification Language

TL;DR: A blend of denotational semantics with categorical ideas is used for the Clear language for specifying problems and programs, described by Burstall and Goguen in 1977.
Book

An Introduction to Substructural Logics

Greg Restall
TL;DR: This book introduces an important group of logics that have come to be known under the umbrella term 'susbstructural' and systematically survey the new results and the significant impact that this class oflogics has had on a wide range of fields.
Book

Category Theory

Steve Awodey
TL;DR: The second edition of the book as discussed by the authors contains numerous revisions to the original text, including expanding the exposition, revising and elaborating the proofs, providing additional diagrams, correcting typographical errors and, finally, adding an entirely new section on monoidal categories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abstract types have existential type

TL;DR: This work uses a second-order typed lambda calculus SOL to show how data algebras may be given types, passed as parameters, and returned as results of function calls.
