© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018. Interference between threads makes it difficult to design concurrent programs. Faced with such a difficulty, it is reasonable to seek clarification and leverage from formality. Whereas powerful abstractions have been found for sequential programming languages, the inherent operational nature of interference infects attempts to describe it formally. Model-oriented (i.e. operational and denotational) and property-oriented (mainly axiomatic) descriptions of the semantics of programming languages that support shared-variable concurrency look totally different. This paper identifies the source of the challenge as accommodating interference and highlights some important connections between the approaches.
