Using standard nonlinear programming (NLP) theory, we establish formulas for first and second order directional derivatives for optimal value functions of parametric mathematical ...
Parallel programs are difficult to write, test, and debug. This thesis explores how programmers build mental models about parallel programs, and demonstrates, through user evaluat...
There is a clear intuitive connection between the notion of leakage of information in a program and concepts from information theory. This intuition has not been satisfactorily pi...
Past attempts to relate two well-known models of backtracking computation have met with only limited success. We relate these two models using logical relations. We accommodate hi...
The paper studies the relationship between logic programs with the stable model semantics and difference logic recently considered in the Satisfiability Modulo Theories framework....
