On the Abstractness of Continuation Semantics

Gabriel Ciobanu, Eneia Nicolae Todoran

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

We present a denotational semantics for a simple concurrent language based on Milner's CCS extended with multiparty synchronous interactions. We show that our denotational model is weakly abstract with respect to a corresponding operational semantics. The denotational semantics is designed with metric spaces and continuation semantics for concurrency. The significance of the results presented in this paper is given also by the flexibility provided by the continuations technique.
