Semantics of combinations in scheme
S. Anglade, J. J. Lacrampe, Christian Queinnec · ACM SIGPLAN Lisp Pointers · 1994
This paper presents a denotational semantics for the combinations of the Scheme language. Scheme leaves unspecified the order of evaluation of the terms of a combination. Our purpose is to formally and denotationally characterize such indeterminacy. We achieve this by extending the denotation as well as the domain of final answers to take into account the various possible orders of evaluation.
