This paper concerns the use of program slicing to perform a certain kind of program-specialization operation. We show that the specialization operation that slicing performs is dif...
Abstract. Most applications of competitive analysis have involved online problems where a candidate on-line algorithm must compete on some input sequence against an optimal o -line...
The areas of On-Line Algorithms and Machine Learning are both concerned with problems of making decisions about the present based only on knowledge of the past. Although these area...
This paper reports on an approachfor improvingthe understandingof old programs which have become very complex due to numerous extensions. We have adapted partial evaluation techni...
We revisit the main techniques of program transformation which are used in partial evaluation, mixed computation, supercompilation, generalized partial computation, rule-based prog...
