TwinDrivers: semi-automatic derivation of fast and safe hypervisor network drivers from guest OS drivers
In a virtualized environment, device drivers are often run inside a virtual machine (VM) rather than in the hypervisor, for reasons of safety and reduction in software engineering...

One More Decidable Class of Finitely Ground Programs
When a logic program is processed by an answer set solver, the first task is to generate its instantiation. In a recent paper, Calimeri et el. made the idea of efficient instantiat...

Incremental Answer Completion in the SLG-WAM
The SLG-WAM of XSB Prolog soundly implements the Well-Founded Semantics (WFS) for logic programs, but in a few pathological cases its engine treats atoms as undefined that are true...
