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...
Notions of program dependency arise in many settings: security, partial evaluation, program slicing, and call-tracking. We argue that there is a central notion of dependency commo...
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,...
It is by now folklore that the bottom-up evaluation of a program after the “magic set” transformation is “as efficient as” top-down evaluation. There are a number of forma...
Self-adapting software adapts its behavior in an autonomic way, by dynamically adding, suppressing and recomposing components, and by the use of computational reflection. One way t...
