Contracts as Pairs of Projections
Abstract. Assertion-based contracts provide a powerful mechanism for stating invariants at module boundaries and for enforcing them uniformly. In 2002, Findler and Felleisen showed...

A Formal Approach to Reasoning about the Effectiveness of Partial Evaluation
We introduce a framework for assessing the effectiveness of partial evaluators in functional logic languages. Our framework is based on properties of the rewrite system that models...
