A predicative semantics is a mapping of programs to predicates. These predicates characterize sets of acceptable observations. The presence of time in the observations makes the o...
Abstract. We present a novel static analysis technique that substantially improves the quality of invariants inferred by standard loop invariant generation techniques. Our techniqu...

Predicated execution has been used to reduce the number of branch mispredictions by eliminating hard-to-predict branches. However, the additional instruction overhead and addition...

In this paper we propose a method for inferring invariants for loops in Java programs. An example of a simple while loop is used throughout the paper to explain our approach. The m...
