The salient feature of the composition operators for Gamma programs is that for termination, the parallel composition operator demands that its operands must terminate synchronous...
We study extensions of first-order logic over the reals with different types of transitive-closure operators as query languages for constraint databases that can be described by...
Bounded response time is an important requirement when rule-based expert systems are used in real-time applications. In the case the rule-based system cannot terminate in bounded ...
Wadler's deforestation algorithm eliminates intermediate data structures from functional programs. To be suitable for inclusion in a compiler, it must terminate on all progra...
We introduce calling context graphs and various static and theorem proving based analyses that together provide a powerful method for proving termination of programs written in fea...
