title = "On rule formats for zero and unit elements",
abstract = "This paper proposes a rule format for Structural Operational Semantics guaranteeing that certain constants act as left or right zero elements for a set of binary operators. Our design approach is also applied to reformulate an earlier rule format for unit elements developed by some of the authors. Examples of left and right zero, as well as unit, elements from the literature are shown to be checkable using the provided formats. Keywords: Structural Operational Semantics (SOS); GSOS format; bisimulation equivalence; zero element; unit element.",
