Flow-sensitive type systems and the ambient calculus
The Ambient Calculus was developed by Cardelli and Gordon as a formal framework to study issues of mobility and migrant code. Numerous analyses have been developed for numerous va...

Nesting forward-mode AD in a functional framework
Abstract. We discuss the implications of the desire to augment a functionalprogramming language with a derivative-taking operator using forward-mode automatic differentiation (AD)....

Flattening tuples in an SSA intermediate representation
For functional programs, unboxing aggregate data structures such as tuples removes memory indirections and frees dead components of the decoupled structures. To explore the consequ...

Types and trace effects for object orientation
Trace effects are statically generated program abstractions, that can be model checked for verification of assertions in a temporal program logic. In this paper we develop a type a...

On the implementation of automatic differentiation tools
Automatic differentiation is a semantic transformation that applies the rules of differential calculus to source code. It thus transforms a computer program that computes a mathema...

Adapting functional programs to higher order logic
Higher-order logic proof systems combine functional programming with logic, providing functional programmers with a comfortable setting for the formalization of programs, specifica...

Dynamic slicing of lazy functional programs based on redex trails
Abstract. Tracing computations is a widely used methodology for program debugging. Lazy languages, however, pose new demands on tracing techniques because following the actual trac...

Imperative-program transformation by instrumented-interpreter specialization
We describe how to implement strength reduction, loop-invariant code motion and loop quasi-invariant code motion by specializing instrumented interpreters. To curb code duplication...

Efficient and flexible access control via Jones-optimal logic program specialisation
We describe the use of a flexible meta-interpreter for performing access control checks on deductive databases. The meta-program is implemented in Prolog and takes as input a datab...
