Abstract. This paper describes a formalization of the weakest precondition, wp, for general recursive programs using the type-theoretical proof assistant Coq. The formalization is ...

We present an automated technique for generating compiler optimizations from examples of concrete programs before and after improvements have been made to them. The key technical ...
This paper is part of a line of work on using the logical techniques of polarity and focusing to design a dependent programming language, with particular emphasis on programming w...
There have been several efforts to bring static type inference to object-oriented dynamic languages such as Ruby, Python, and Perl. In our experience, however, such type inference...

We propose a novel approach to proving the termination of heapmanipulating programs, which combines separation logic with cyclic proof within a Hoare-style proof system. Judgement...
