Definition of standard ML
This book provides a formal definition of Standard ML for the benefit of all concerned with the language, including users and implementers, and the authors have defined their semantic objects in mathematical notation that is completely independent of StandardML.
Region-based Memory Management
A region-based dynamic semantics for a skeletal programming language extracted from Standard ML is defined and the inference system which specifies where regions can be allocated and de-allocated is presented and a detailed proof that the system is sound with respect to a standard semantics is presented.
Implementation of the typed call-by-value λ-calculus using a stack of regions

The translation is proved correct with respect to a store semantics, which models as a region-based run-time system for polymorphically typed call-by-value λ-calculus.

Commentary on standard ML
This companion volume explains in depth the meaning, or semantic theory, of ML.
A region inference algorithm

It is proved that the algorithm is sound with respect to the region inference rules and that it always terminates even though the area inference rules permit polymorphic recursion in regions.
