The Rely-Guarantee approach is a well-known compositional method for proving Hoare logic properties of concurrent programs. In this approach, predicates in the proof must be proved...
In a previous paper, Liu argued for the importance of establishing a precise theoretical foundation for program debugging from first principles. In this paper, we present a first ...
Abduction is usually carried out on partially-defined predicates. In this paper we investigate abduction applied to fully-defined predicates, specifically linear arithmetic cons...
The goal of this paper is to obtain a one-to-one correspondence between state machines as e.g. used in UML and object-oriented programming languages. A proposal is made for a lang...
We propose a method for inferring parameterized regular types for logic programs as solutions for systems of constraints over sets of finite ground Herbrand terms (set constraint s...
