Comparing categories of domains

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We discuss some of the reasons for the proliferation of categories of domains suggested for the mathematical foundations of the Scott-Strachey theory of programming semantics. Five general conditions are presented which such a category should satisfy and they are used to motivate a number of examples. An attempt is made to survey some of the methods whereby these examples may be compared and their relationships expressed. We also ask a few mathematical questions about the examples.
