Most object-oriented or functional languages are higher order
languages, i.e. ones in which the means of manipulation (e.g.
object or function) can itself be manipulated. This 1998 book
contains a collection of original articles about recent
developments in operational semantics for higher order programming
languages by some of the leading researchers in the field.
Operational techniques are important because they are closer to
implementations and language definitions than more abstract
mathematical techniques such as denotational semantics. One of the
exciting developments reflected by the book is that mathematical
structures and techniques used in denotational semantics (such as
fixpoint induction) may be recovered from a purely operational
starting point. The book surveys and introduces techniques such as
contextual equivalence, applicative bisimulation, logical
relations, improvement relations, explicit models of memory
management, and labelling techniques for confluence properties. It
treats a variety of higher order languages, based on functions,
processes and objects, with and without side effects, typed and
untyped.
