Program verification is a promising approach to improving program quality, because it can search all possible program executions for specific errors. However, the need to formally...

We consider the problem of specifying data structures with complex sharing in a manner that is both declarative and results in provably correct code. In our approach, abstract data...

Phase-decoupled methods for code generation are the state of the art in compilers for standard processors but generally produce code of poor quality for irregular target architect...
Approximate linear programming (ALP) is an efficient approach to solving large factored Markov decision processes (MDPs). The main idea of the method is to approximate the optimal...
The so-called noise-component has been introduced by Banfield and Raftery (1993) to improve the robustness of cluster analysis based on the normal mixture model. The idea is to ad...
