A trajectory-based strict semantics for program slicing
We define a program semantics that is preserved by dependence-based slicing algorithms. It is a natural extension, to non-terminating programs, of the semantics introduced by Wei...

Program Slicing of Hardware Description Languages
Hardware description languages (HDLs) are used today to describe circuits at all levels. In large HDL programs, there is a need for source code reduction techniques to address a my...

Control Dependence for Extended Finite State Machines
Abstract. Though there has been nearly three decades of work on program slicing, there has been comparatively little work on slicing for state machines. One of the primary challeng...

Deriving a Slicing Algorithm via FermaT Transformations
In this paper we present a case study in deriving an algorithm from a formal specification via FermaT transformations. The general method (which is presented in a separate paper)...
