On tabular expressions
Ryszard Janicki, Alan Wassyng · Conference of the Centre for Advanced Studies on Collaborative Research · 2003
Tabular expressions (Parnas et al. [18, 26, 28, 29]) are a means to represent the complex relations that are used to specify or document software systems. A formal model and a semantics for tabular expressions are presented. The model covers most known types of tables used in Software Engineering, and admits precise classification and definition of new types of tables. The practical importance of the semantics of tabular expressions is discussed briefly.
