But state terms are global, which makes compositionality difficult to achieve. Compositionality here means being able to decompose a complex system into its functional components and code each as an isolated and encapsulated system. Our goal is to help bringing compositionality to system specification in rewriting logic. The base of our proposal is the operation that we call synchronous composition. We discuss the motivations and implications of our proposal, formalize it for rewriting logic and also for transition structures, to be used as semantics, and show the power of our approach with some examples.engjournal articlehttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-programming/article/compositional-specification-in-rewriting-logic/90B8BA2742E7A67D7BCE68EB939129D2open accessCompositional specificationRewriting logicModularitySynchronous productProgramación de ordenadores (Informática)1203.17 Informática
