Specifications of Object-Oriented programs conventionally employ Boolean expressions of the programming language for assertions. Programming errors can be discovered by checking at...

We present a parametric Hoare-like logic for computer-aided reasoning about typeable properties of functional programs. The logic is based on the concept of a specialised assertio...
Persistent programming languages manage volatile memory as a cache for stable storage, imposing a read barrier on operations that access the cache, and a write barrier on updates ...

We study xpoints of operators on lattices. To this end we introduce the notion of an approximation of an operator. We order approximations by means of a precision ordering. We sho...

As applications of description logics proliferate, efficient reasoning with knowledge bases containing many assertions becomes ever more important. For such cases, we developed a n...
