NewSpeak is a language for programming real-time safety-critical systems. Its distinguishing feature is the property of unexceptionality the property that any successfully compiled program will not raise a runtime exception. In this paper we describe a denotational semantics for NewSpeak written in VDM-SL, which ensures that it is unexceptional. We also discuss the implications of using VDM-SL for the semantic definitions, from the point of view of development of specifications.
