The formal theory of monads II

TLDR
In this article, the authors give an explicit description of the free completion EM ( K ) of a 2-category K under the Eilenberg-Moore construction, and demonstrate that much of the formal theory of monads can be deduced using only the universal property of this completion.

Basic concepts of enriched category theory

G. M. Kelly
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors give a selfcontained account of basic category theory as described above, assuming as prior knowledge only the most elementary categorical concepts, and treating the ordinary and enriched cases together from Chapter 3 on.

Towards a mathematical operational semantics

TL;DR: A categorical theory of 'well-behaved' operational semantics which aims at complementing the established theory of domains and denotational semantics to form a coherent whole.
