Connections To Other Areas of Computer Science
Some work in denotational semantics has interpreted types as domains in the sense of domain theory which can be seen as a branch of model theory, leading to connections with type theory and category theory. Within computer science, there are connections with abstract interpretation, program verification, and model checking.
Monads were introduced to denotational semantics as a way of organising semantics, and these ideas have had a big impact in functional programming (see monads in functional programming).

Famous quotes containing the words connections, areas, computer and/or science:
“Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long. The world needed a discoverer of the North Pole, and in all areas of social activity, merit was less important here than opportunity.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
“The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.”
—Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
“Man lives for science as well as bread.”
—William James (1842–1910)
