dc.description.abstract<p>This thesis presents several module systems, in particular Mei and DMei, designed for mechanized mathematics systems. Mei is a λ-calculus style module system that supports higher-order functors in a natural way. The semantics of functor application is based on substitution. A novel coercion mechanism integrates a parameter passing mechanism based on theory interpretations with simple λ-calculus style higher-order functors. DMei extends Mei by supporting dependent functor types. Mei is the first module system that successfully supports both higher-order functors and a parameter passing mechanism based on theory interpretations.</p>en_US
