Logic programming provides a uniform framework in which all aspects of explanation-based generalization and learning may be defined and carried out, but first-order Horn logic i...
Abstract. Quantitative verification techniques are able to establish system properties such as "the probability of an airbag failing to deploy on demand" or "the exp...
We analyze three proof strategies commonly used in deductive verification of deterministic sequential programs formalized with operational semantics. The strategies are: (i) stepw...

The task of designing and implementing a compiler can be a difficult and error-prone process. In this paper, we present a new approach based on the igher-order abstract syntax and ...
We sketch a methodology for the verification of compiler correctness based on the LF Logical Framework as realized within the Elf programming language. We have applied this techni...
