Abstract

Name management, how a computing system allows names to be established for objects, permits objects to be accessed using names and controls the availability and meaning of names at any point in time. Context control-related problems often occur during software development. The semantics of a unifying model of name management can be formalized using evolving algebras, an operational semantics based on first-order logic. The model can serve as a basis for both informal and formal reasoning methods that can help in overcoming name management-related problems encountered by software developers.
