Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...
For a given (terminating) term rewriting system one can often estimate its derivational complexity indirectly by looking at the proof method that established termination. In this s...
We consider instantiation-based theorem proving whereby instances of clauses are generated by certain inferences, and where inconsistency is detected by propositional tests. We gi...
We introduce regular graph constraints and explore their decidability properties. The motivation for regular graph constraints is 1) type checking of changing types of objects in ...
Software construction has typically drawn on engineering metaphors like building bridges or cathedrals, which emphasize architecture, specification, central planning, and determin...
