Nominal Sets : Names and Symmetry in Computer Science Hardback
by Andrew M. (University of Cambridge) Pitts
Part of the Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science series
Hardback
Description
Nominal sets provide a promising new mathematical analysis of names in formal languages based upon symmetry, with many applications to the syntax and semantics of programming language constructs that involve binding, or localising names.
Part I provides an introduction to the basic theory of nominal sets.
In Part II, the author surveys some of the applications that have developed in programming language semantics (both operational and denotational), functional programming and logic programming.
As the first book to give a detailed account of the theory of nominal sets, it will be welcomed by researchers and graduate students in theoretical computer science.
