Invited Paper: A Logician in the Land of OS: Abstract State Machines in Microsoft (at LICS 2001)

Authors: Yuri Gurevich

Abstract

Analysis of foundational problems like "What is computation?" leads to a sketch of the paradigm of abstract state machines (ASMs). This is followed by a brief discussion on ASMs applications. Then we present some theoretical problems that bridge between the traditional LICS themes and abstract state machines.
