PREFACE

During the last few years, a number of interesting results and promising ideas have been generated in the area of semantical aspects of programming languages.

We

felt that we would do a real service to this emerging field by calling a write-in symposium and collecting a number of representative contributions covering the various aspec ts , We are happy to present here the resul ts of this endeavor in the form of Lecture Notes.

It is understood that many of the contributions represent work in progress

and that some may appear elsewhere in final form.

We take this opportunity to thank

the contributors and Springer Verlag for their exceptionally prompt collaboration. Minneapolis, October 1970 Erwin Engeler P.S.

The papers are arranged alphabetically according to authors, a joint biblio-

graphy is located at the end of the volume.
