Semantic interpretation

The subject of these notes might be described as "abstract flowcharts" - the study of mathematical models for programs and flowcharts, and of the interrelation between the syntax of programs (what can be said about their behavior from their very format) and the semantics (interpretations and the functions computed under varying interpretations) and the application of formal proof systems to verify properties of programs. 

Note that the cis isomer lacks an improper axis of rotation and is therefore chiral, but that the trans isomer has a plane of symmetry and will be achiral in the absence of an asymmetric carbon in the phosphine ligand-28 As in the case of the previously encountered cyclopentadienyl complex (page 476), it can be argued whether the coordination number is 5 or 9. In either semantic interpretation these compounds are of considerable interest since isomerism in nine-coordinate complexes Is even less well documented than in those with coordination number 5. 

Although the inclusion of noise was found to be important for the correct normalization of MSI datasets (35,36), the full data load hampers subsequent statistical analyses (38). The removal of noise signals not only reduces the data load significantly but also aids the semantic interpretation of mass... 

Composing atomic operations requires, besides syntactical knowledge about the given interface, their semantical interpretation with respect to the dynamic behavior of the tool to be wrapped. A simple, frequently occurring example is as follows. It cannot be derived from the syntactical description of an interface, whether indexing a collection begins with zero or one. Normally, this information is received from additional documentation offered by the tool s vendor. As experience shows, documentations... 

Although FP was not designed for semantic interpretation, the sensory positioning of the products being considered as the main output, the analysis of the loading of attributes after GPA can still be informative. However, the loading plots from... 

Of course, results from FP are not always as accurate as those of conventional profiling. As was discussed above, the absence of definition and specific training could lead to uncertain semantic interpretation. However, the trade-off between accuracy and rapidity should be considered by the sensory practitioner depending on his/her objectives and constraints. 

This type of analysis of consuma FP data may thus be of great added value should a typology of configurations exist. It is of course not always the case, and there are some situations where no subgroup can be distinguished and where the attempts at semantic interpretation remain fuzzy. In such cases, one should thus stick to data interpretation in terms of sensory positioning of the products at the group level. 

In addition to this, hierarchical cluster analyses (Euclidean distances. Ward s criterion) were performed, both on attributes and product coordinates, following GPA to help understand product differences and semantic interpretations. 

Statistical methodology. The statistical analysis mainly consisted of GPA and cluster analysis. Cluster analysis on the panel means and consensus were performed, in order to compare the product clusters obtained by the consumers procedures. Cluster analysis was performed on both terms and products following GPA, to help in understanding product discrepancies and to assist in semantic interpretation. 

Bickle (1998) gave a semantic interpretation of New-Wave reduction which is not hsted here. As it stands, it seems to inherit problems of both, semantic approaches and classical ways of framing New-Wave reduction. Bickle seems to suppose that the semantic interpretation matches the intuitive one which forms our target. 

This approach adds unnecessary complexity in that it is possible to convert the notation of BPMN directly into the PRISM modelling language, and then allow PRISM to impose a semantic interpretation without the additional semantic restrictions of going via COWS. Further, the translations PRISM to COWS and in particular from COWS to PRISM is loosely defined and, in the form described by the authors, not amenable to algorithmic translation. This approach, however, does allow the use of rewards. Consequently, the PRISM model checker is potentially able to perform analysis of both quantitative and stochastic properties of a business process. However, details of how such properties will be included in the original BPMN models is not described. 

When performing quantitative analysis of a graph based process language we choose structural semantic rules such that they impose the minimum semantic interpretation necessary to determine the control flow of a model. In the case of a BPMN BPD, it adds no more semantic interpretation than implied by the standard (Object Management Group 2011a). In the case of BPMN, when we have imposed restrictions they have been made only for simplicity and are discussed at length in previous work (Herbert Sharp 2012). 

Interpretation of the COLREGS Rules in the form of appropriate manoeuvring diagrams enables to formulate a certain logical function Zj as a semantic interpretation of legal regulations for manoeuvring.

In Figure 1 the first row of boxes indicates the overall concepts which the user must keep in mind an interface implemented as a pair of pre- and post-processors performs the translation between the product data representations in CAD systems and the neutral file. The second row represents the formal specification contained in this book the neutral file grammar which is specified in BNF productions, the semantical interpretation of a neutral file (defined as a finite state machine) in order to build a data structure which is compatible with the reference model specified. The last row shall indicate that validity of a neutral file requires conformance with the grammar, validity of the post-processor requires conformance with the semantic specification, and finally that CAD system data base contents can...
