| Abstract | Systems semantics extends the denotational semantics of programming languages to a semantics for the description of arbitrary systems, including objects that are not computations in any sense. By defining different meaning functions, the same formal description may be used to denote different system properties, such as structure, behavior, component cost, and performance aspects (e.g., timing).The definition of these semantic functions also provides guidance in language design, in particular for the match between language constructs and the system concepts to be expressed. Aiming at compositionality ensures useful properties for formal manipulation. In this fashion, the meaning functions can be made sufficiently simple to serve not only as a direct implementation on a machine but also as rules for reasoning about systems in a transformational manner. As the applications show, however, compositionality can be ensured only through careful consideration of the characteristics of the flow of information inside the system.Two classes of application are discussed:Unidirectional systems, in particular digital systems without feedback (combinational) and with feedback (sequential), and a certain class of analog systems.Nonunidirectional systems, in particular two-port analog networks. The emphasis will be on the functional style of description and on formal reasoning (theorem proving, derivation of properties).Implementation and rapid prototyping strategies in various system description environments are also briefly discussed. These would permit the concepts of system semantics to be explored without the need for a complete implementation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
