GSML is a programming language that has been designed for grid end-users to overcome the programming hurdle and the high learning curve associated with Grid infrastructures that are complex distributed computing systems. This paper defines its formal semantics in terms of a chemical programming language called HOCL. This translation of GSML programs into HOCL gives a precise definition of the concepts of GSML, especially sessions. The semantics also bridges the GSML and chemical computing paradigms.
