Equality logic with or without uninterpreted functions is used for proving the equivalence or refinement between systems (hardware verification, compiler’s translation, etc). C...
Program transformation is an appealing technique which allows to improve run-time efficiency, space-consumption and more generally to optimize a given program. Essentially it con...

: The traditional framework for back-end compilation is based on the scope of functions, which is a natural boundary to partition an entire program for compilation. However, the si...

We formally characterize alternating fixed points of boolean equation systems as models of (propositional) normal logic programs. To this end, we introduce the notion of a preferr...

SystemC is widely used for modeling and simulation in hardware/software co-design. Due to the lack of a complete formal semantics, it is not possible to verify SystemC designs. In...
