Abstract

We develop a notion of institution with symbols and a kernel language for writing structured specifications in CASL. This kernel language has a semantics in an arbitrary but fixed institution with symbols. Compared with other institution-independent kernel languages, the advantage is that translations, hidings etc. can be written in a symbol-oriented way (rather than being based on signature morphisms as primitive notion), while still being institution-independent. The semantics of the kernel language has been used as the basis for the semantics of structured specifications in CASL.
