Abstract. We compare three specification frameworks for the operationtics of programming languages, abstract state machines (ASMs) and the two incarnations of natural semantics, b...
Abstract. The Bayesian approach to machine learning amounts to inferring posterior distributions of random variables from a probabilistic model of how the variables are related (th...
Spatial logics have been used to describe properties of treelike structures (Ambient Logic) and in a Hoare style to reason about dynamic updates of heap-like structures (Separatio...
This paper reports on the development and formal certification (proof of semantic preservation) of a compiler from Cminor (a Clike imperative language) to PowerPC assembly code, u...
Array updates in single assignment languages generally require some copying of the array, and thus tend to be more expensive than in imperative languages. As a result, programs in...
