Specializing programs by partial evaluation is well defined extensionally, but in practice no intensional properties, such as what the specialized programs will look like or how ...
We present a new approach to static program analysis that permits each expression in a program to be assigned an execution time estimate. Our approach uses a time system in conjun...
An important goal of software engineering is to exploit commonalities in system design in order to reduce the complexity of building new systems, support largescale reuse, and pro...
as Abstraction Susan Stepney Logica UK Ltd 1 The PROST-Objects project has developed a method for specifying tests. The method is based on systematic abstraction from a `state-plus...
Natural Deduction style presentations of program logics are useful in view of the implementation of such logics in interactive proof development environments, based on type theory,...

is an important optimization for programs that use procedural abstraction. Because inlining trades code size for execution speed, the effectiveness of an inlining algorithm is det...
Abstract. The notion of agents has provided a way of imbuing traditional computing systems with an extra degree of flexibility that allows them to be more resilient and robust in t...
