L-attributed Grammar
L-attributed grammars are a special type of attribute grammars. They allow the attributes to be evaluated in one depth-first left-to-right traversal of the abstract syntax tree. As a result, attribute evaluation in L-attributed grammars can be incorporated conveniently in top-down parsing. A syntax-directed definition is L-attributed if each ''inherited'' attribute of X_j on the right side of A \rightarrow X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n depends only on # the attributes of the symbols X_1, X_2, \dots, X_ # the inherited attributes of A (but not its synthesized attributes) Every S-attributed syntax-directed definition is also L-attributed. Implementing L-attributed definitions in Bottom-Up parsers requires rewriting L-attributed definitions into translation schemes. Many programming languages are L-attributed. Special types of compilers, the narrow compilers, are based on some form of L-attributed grammar. These are a strict superset of S-attributed grammar S-attributed grammars are a c ...

Attribute Grammar
An attribute grammar is a formal way to supplement a formal grammar with semantic information processing. Semantic information is stored in attributes associated with terminal and nonterminal symbols of the grammar. The values of attributes are the result of attribute evaluation rules associated with productions of the grammar. Attributes allow the transfer of information from anywhere in the abstract syntax tree to anywhere else, in a controlled and formal way. Each semantic function deals with attributes of symbols occurring only in one production rule: both semantic function parameters and its result are attributes of symbols from one particular rule. When a semantic function defines the value of an attribute of the symbol on the left hand side of the rule, the attribute is called ''synthesized''; otherwise it is called ''inherited''. Thus, synthesized attributes serve to pass semantic information up the parse tree, while inherited attributes allow values to be passed from the ...

Mathematical Systems Theory
''Theory of Computing Systems'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer Verlag. Published since 1967 as ''Mathematical Systems Theory'' and since volume 30 in 1997 under its current title, it is devoted to publishing original research from all areas of theoretical computer science, such as computational complexity, algorithms and data structures, or parallel and distributed algorithms and architectures. It is published 8 times per year since 2018, although the frequency varied in the past.
