We give a framework for denotational semantics for the polymorphic “core” of the programming language ML. This framework requires no more semantic material than what is needed...
Parametric polymorphism constrains the behavior of pure functional programs in a way that allows the derivation of interesting theorems about them solely from their types, i.e., v...
The soundness of device drivers generally cannot be verified in isolation, but has to take into account the reactions of the hardware devices. In critical embedded systems, interf...
Statistical debugging is a powerful technique for identifying bugs that do not violate programming rules or program invariants. Previously known statistical debugging techniques ar...
with existing analysis tools. Modular reasoning principles such as abstraction, compositional refinement, and assume-guarantee reasoning are well understood for architectural hiera...
