Course Literature

Nielson and Nielson
Semantics with Applications: An Appetizer
Springer-Verlag, 2007, ISBN: 978-1-84628-691-9
Available from Kårbokhandeln at the start of the period.

In addition: some hand-written slides on axiomatic semantics and verification condition generation (see outline, part III).

Here are my own LaTeX definitions. Derivation trees I create with the following package.

Additional reading for the curious student:

• a paper by Freund and Mitchell formalizing the Java Virtual Machine and Language, thus providing an abstract machine semantics for the Java bytecode language JVML.
