We investigate rule dependency graphs and their colorings for characterizing the computation of answer sets of logic programs. To this end, we develop a series of operational chara...
Compositional semantics allow to reason about programs in an incremental way, thus providing the formal base for the development of modular data-flow analyses. The major drawback ...
As cryptographic proofs have become essentially unverifiable, cryptographers have argued in favor of developing techniques that help tame the complexity of their proofs. Game-base...
Techniques to update executing programs are needed to maintain software for which downtime is not an option. Without guidelines, dynamic update may provoke unreliable and unpredic...
There has been great interest in creating probabilistic programming languages to simplify the coding of statistical tasks; however, there still does not exist a formal language th...
