A verifying compiler is one that emits both object code and a proof of correspondence between object and source code.1 We report the use of ACL2 in building a verifying compiler f...
We propose here an extension of Rice's Theorem to first-order logic, proven by totally elementary means. If P is any property defined over the collection of all first-order t...
Final coalgebras for a functor serve as semantic domains for state based systems of various types. For example, formal languages, streams, nonwell-founded sets and behaviors of CCS...
Parallelism in processor architecture and design imposes a verification challenge as the exponential growth in the number of execution combinations becomes unwieldy. In this paper...
A design is a finite set of points in a space on which every "simple" functions averages to its global mean. Illustrative examples of simple functions are low-degree pol...
