Summary on Grant Application Form
My research project centres on investigating semantic theories for a variety of computational scenarios within the scientific framework of denotational semantics. In particular, I will focus on the study and development of models for functional and concurrent computation, with the ultimate goal of building a mathematical theory of general (computational and physical) processes.(a) I will pursue the research programme on Axiomatic Domain Theory (ADT), culminating with the development of a representation theory for models of ADT.(b) I will investigate models of rich process languages, from which I will attempt to design paradigmatic concurrent programming languages equipped with program logics.(c) I will address the problem of the mathematical representation of general processes. In particular, I will. investigate the feasibility of a theory unifying and integrating models of concurrency (typically discrete) and dynamical systems (typically continuous).
