This paper focuses on the use of linear logic as a specification language for the operational
semantics of advanced concepts of programming such as concurrency and
object-orientation. Our approach is based on a refinement of linear logic sequent calculi
based on the proof-theoretic characterization of logic programming. A well-founded
combination of higher-order logic programming and linear logic will be used to give an
accurate encoding of the traditional features of concurrent object-oriented programming
languages, whose corner-stone is the notion of encapsulation.
