Denotational semantics is commonly used to precisely define the meaning of a programming language. This meaning is given by functions that map syntactic elements to mathematically well defined sets called semantic algebra. Models in semantic algebra need to be processed through reductions towards a normal-form in order to allow the verification of semantics properties. MDA is a current trend that shifts the focus and effort from implementation to models, metamodels and transformations during the development process. In order to put forward denotational semantics in the MDA vision, we turn semantic algebra into an useful domain-specific language. In this context, this paper describes our proposed MOF metamodel and ATL reductions between the generated models. The metamodel serves as abstract syntax for semantic algebra. It is useful for static semantics verifications. The reductions enable processing towards a normal-form to compare semantics. This process can be guided by using some rewrite system. |
