Semantics of Programming Languages and Model Theory
Fourteen papers presented at the conference on [title], held at the International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science, Schloss Dagstuhl, June 1991, as well as a few others submitted by colleagues unable to attend, reflect the interplay between algebra, logic, and semantics of programming languages. Among the topics are a formal specification of PARLOG, synthesis of nondeterministic asynchronous automata, observable modules and power domain constructions, the Smyth-completion of a quasi-uniform space, current trends in the semantics of data flow, and a theory of unary pairfunctions.

Semantics of Programming Languages
Semantics of Programming Languages exposes the basic motivations and philosophy underlying the applications of semantic techniques in computer science. It introduces the mathematical theory of programming languages with an emphasis on higher-order functions and type systems. Designed as a text for upper-level and graduate-level students, the mathematically sophisticated approach will also prove useful to professionals who want an easily referenced description of fundamental results and calculi. Basic connections between computational behavior, denotational semantics, and the equational logic of functional programs are thoroughly and rigorously developed. Topics covered include models of types, operational semantics, category theory, domain theory, fixed point (denotational). semantics, full abstraction and other semantic correspondence criteria, types and evaluation, type checking and inference, parametric polymorphism, and subtyping. All topics are treated clearly and in depth, with complete proofs for the major results and numerous exercises.
