Casl Semantics: Polished Version 1.0 of the semantics of many-sorted basic specifications available
The first "free-standing" version of the semantics of basic specifications as described in v1.0.1 of the CASL Language Summary is now available in PDF and LaTeX from the CoFI Archives at
ftp://ftp.brics.dk/Projects/CoFI/Documents/CASL/Semantics/

("Free-standing" = not in the form of annotations on the Language Summary, in contrast to all previous versions.)

Don Sannella writes:

Comments welcome! I am particularly interested in constructive comments on the style of presentation, for instance whether it is possible to make sense of this document without reference to the Language Summary. Most of the technical definitions have been through many iterations already so I am relatively confident that they are error-free.
