DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
Maude interpreter. This manual
page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
not have a manual page.
Maude is a high-performance reflective language and system supporting
both equational and rewriting logic specification and programming for a wide
range of applications.
Maude has been influenced in important ways by
the OBJ3 language, which can be regarded as an equational logic sublanguage.
Besides supporting equational specification and programming,
Maude also
supports rewriting logic computation.
Rewriting logic is a logic of concurrent change that can naturally deal with
state and with concurrent computations. It has good properties as a general
semantic framework for giving executable semantics to a wide range of
languages and models of concurrency. In particular, it supports very well
concurrent object-oriented computation. The same reasons making rewriting
logic a good semantic framework make it also a good logical framework, that
is, a metalogic in which many other logics can be naturally represented and
executed.
Maude supports in a systematic and efficient way logical reflection. This
makes
Maude remarkably extensible and powerful, supports an extensible
algebra of module composition operations, and allows many advanced
metaprogramming and metalanguage applications. Indeed, some of the most
interesting applications of
Maude are metalanguage applications, in
which
Maude is used to create executable environments for different
logics, theorem provers, languages, and models of computation.
