Compositional semantics allow to reason about programs in an incremental way, thus providing the formal base for the development of modular data-flow analyses. The major drawback ...
This paper describes a diagnosis technique for locating design errors in circuit implementations which do not match their functional specification. The method efficiently propagat...
