Are there any notations commonly used to define the semantics of a
programming language? (Similar to how BNF defines the syntax).


Has there been much work on figuring out what the requirements for
such a notation? This seems like it would be a relatively active area
due to the current industry focus on common language runtimes, but I
haven't found any good links in my brief google searches.
