ite-state abstraction scheme such as predicate abstraction. The type system, which is also parametric, type checks exactly those programs that are accepted by the model checker. It...
Abstract. A methodology for safety verification using barrier certificates has been proposed recently. Conditions that must be satisfied by a barrier certificate can be formula...
Superfluous variables are often produced as the byproducts of program transformations, compilation, and poorly written code. These variables are irrelevant to the computational o...
In this paper, we propose a definition of goal achievability: given a basic action theory describing an initial state of the world and some primitive actions available to a robot,...
We observe that the principal typing property of a type system is the enabling technology for modularity and separate compilation [10]. We use this technology to formulate a modul...
