Abstract: This tutorial paper discusses a particular style of operational
semantics that enables one to give a `syntax-directed' inductive definition
of termination which is very useful for reasoning about operational
equivalence of programs. We restrict attention to contextual equivalence
of expressions in the ML family of programming languages, concentrating
on functions involving local state. A brief tour of structural operational
semantics culminates in a structural definition of termination... (Update)
