Parameterized Proof Complexity
We propose a proof-theoretic approach for gaining evidence that certain parameterized problems are not fixedparameter tractable. We consider proofs that witness that a given prop...

Proof Slicing with Application to Model Checking Web Services
Web Services emerge as a new paradigm for distributed computing. Model checking is an important verification method to ensure the trustworthiness of composite WS. abstraction and...

Almost-Natural Proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result is...

Proof Theory for Kleene Algebra
The universal Horn theory of relational Kleene algebra with tests (RKAT) is of practical interest, particularly for program semantics. We develop an (infinitary) proof system, ba...
