The Graph Theorem of classical recursion theory states that a total function on the natural numbers is computable, if and only if its graph is recursive. It is known that this res...
This paper introduces a new component based model that makes it relatively simple to prove that certain types of landscapes are elementary. We use the model to reconstruct proofs ...
The key to realistic self-applicable partial evaluation is to analyze binding times in the source program, i.e., whether the result of partially evaluating a source expression is ...
In previous work [8] we presented a casebased approach to eliciting and reasoning with preferences. A key issue in this approach is the definition of similarity between user prefe...
Program slicing is a well-known methodology that aims at identifying the program statements that (potentially) affect the values computed at some point of interest. Within imperat...
