Abstract

For many programming languages, the only formal semantics published is an SOS big-step semantics. Such a semantics is not suited for investigations that observe intermediate states, such as invariant techniques. In this paper, a construction is proposed that generates automatically a small-step SOS semantics from a big-step semantics. This semantics is based on the a priori technique pioneered by Willem-Paul de Roever et al.
