In this paper, we present a formal description of data slicing, which is a type-directed program transformation technique that separates a program’s heap into several independent...
Program slicing identifies parts of a program that potentially affect a chosen computation. It has many applications in software engineering, including maintenance, evolution and ...
A common static software bug detection technique is to use path simulation. Each execution path is simulated using symbolic variables to determine if any software errors could occ...
The goal of obfuscation is to transform a program, without affecting its functionality, such that some secret information within the program can be hidden for as long as possible...

Slicing is a widely-used technique with applications in e.g. compiler technology and software security. Thus verification of algorithms in these areas is often based on the correc...
