We define a new fixpoint modal logic, the visibly pushdown ?-calculus (VP-?), as an extension of the modal ?-calculus. The models of this logic are execution trees of structured p...
Abstract--The expression of parallel codes through abstract, high-level specifications of global control and data flow can greatly simplify the task of creating large parallel prog...
An analysis method for specialization of imperative programs is described in this paper. This analysis is an inter-procedural data flow method operating on control flow graphs and...
This paper relates two different paradigms of descriptions of communication behaviour, one focussing on global message flows and another on end-point behaviours, using formal cal...
We consider the class of database programs and address the problem of minimizing the cost of their exchanges with the database server. This cost partly consists of query execution...
