Summary on Grant Application Form
Our aim is to provide sound semantic foundations for languages such as JAVA and to develop methods and tools for the analysis and certification of programs written in these languages. Although our aim is not language design, we also hope that our work will give insight into which points in the design space yield a favourable balance between expressiveness and tractability. We intend to focus specifically on JAVA as a target language, since on the one hand it is a clean enough design that we believe it is feasible to give a formal model of a usefully expressive subset of it; and on the other hand, studying JAVA guarantees a rich field of case studies and practical experience to draw upon.
