Abstract This paper describes a general framework for automatic termination analysis of logic programs, where we understand by termination" the niteness of the LD-tree constru...
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) involves the construction of first-order definite clause theories from examples and background knowledge. Unlike both traditional Machine Learnin...
This paper reviews the principles behind the paradigm of “abstract interpretation via § -valued logic,” discusses recent work to extend the approach, and summarizes ongoing re...
This paper outlines a sound and complete Hoare logic for a sequential object-oriented language with inheritance and subtyping like Java. It describes a weakest precondition calculu...
Abstract. For practical applications, the use of top-down query-driven proofprocedures is essential for an efficient use and computation of answers using Logic Programs as knowledg...
