Contribution
It provides an overview of SOS's applications across various domains and emphasizes its growing importance in modern computational and biological systems.
Findings
SOS is widely used for defining operational semantics.
It is a flexible alternative to denotational semantics.
Recent applications include probabilistic systems and systems biology.
Abstract
Structural operational semantics (SOS) is a technique for defining operational semantics for programming and specification languages. Because of its intuitive appeal and flexibility, SOS has found considerable application in the study of the semantics of concurrent processes. It is also a viable alternative to denotational semantics in the static analysis of programs and in proving compiler correctness. Recently it has been applied in emerging areas such as probabilistic systems and systems biology.
