-
+ The systems of the λδ family are developed as machine-checked digital specifications,
+ and are listed in the next table, which includes the major milestones.
+
+ The life cycle of a specification consists of four periods.
+ Alpha:
+ the definitions are designed and the major propositions are proved,
+ then the calculus is announced with a presentation.
+ Beta:
+ major changes and additions may occur before the calculus is released on paper.
+ Gamma:
+ subsequent improvements occur until the specification is completed or superseded,
+ while major changes and additions are announced and reported on paper.
+ Delta:
+ after its conclusion, the specification is modified just for maintenance.
+
+ Informational pages on the specifications are provided.
+
Notice on displayed numerical acounts:
+ nodes are counted according to the "intrinsic complexity measure"
+ [F. Guidi: "Procedural Representation of CIC Proof Terms"
+ Journal of Automated Reasoning 44(1-2), Springer (February 2010), pp. 53-78].
+
Notice on displayed logical structures:
+ from the logical standpoint, the source scripts are grouped in "planes"
+ and these are grouped in "components";
+ the notation for the relations or functions
+ introduced in each script, is shown in parentheses (? are placeholders).
+
λδ version 3 (proposed)
+ The formal specification of λδ version 3
+ is forthcoming.
+
λδ version 2 (active)
The formal specification of λδ version 2
is available in the following formats:
