Description     : Maude is a high-performance logical framework

Maude is a high-performance reflective language and system supporting both 
equational and rewriting logic specification and programming for a wide range 
of applications. Maude has been influenced in important ways by the OBJ3 
language, which can be regarded as an equational logic sublanguage. Besides 
supporting equational specification and programming, Maude also supports 
rewriting logic computation.

Rewriting logic is a logic of concurrent change that can naturally deal with 
state and with concurrent computations. It has good properties as a general 
semantic framework for giving executable semantics to a wide range of languages 
and models of concurrency. In particular, it supports very well concurrent 
object-oriented computation. The same reasons making rewriting logic a good 
semantic framework make it also a good logical framework, that is, a metalogic 
in which many other logics can be naturally represented and executed.

Maude supports in a systematic and efficient way logical reflection. This makes 
Maude remarkably extensible and powerful, supports an extensible algebra of 
module composition operations, and allows many advanced metaprogramming and 
metalanguage applications. Indeed, some of the most interesting applications of 
Maude are metalanguage applications, in which Maude is used to create 
executable environments for different logics, theorem provers, languages, and 
models of computation.

Maude is a of interest to the biomedical community for modeling and analysis of 
biological systems.
