We give an inductive method for proving weak innermost termination of rule-based programs, from which we automatically infer, for each successful proof, a finite strategy for data...
This paper addresses the problem of efficient maintenance of a materialized skyline view in response to skyline removals. While there has been significant progress on skyline quer...
Planning in large, partially observable domains is challenging, especially when a long-horizon lookahead is necessary to obtain a good policy. Traditional POMDP planners that plan...
Successive, formal refinement is a new approach for specification of embedded systems using a general-purpose programming language. Systems are formally modeled as Abstractable Sy...

This paper proposes a novel approach to shape analysis: using local reasoning about individual heap locations of global reasoning about entire heap abstractions. We present an int...
