—This paper introduces HOpiPn, the higher-order pi-calculus with passivation and name creation, and develops an equivalence theory for this calculus. Passivation [Schmitt and Ste...
Abstract. With graph pattern matching the field of graph transformation (GT) includes an NP-complete subtask. But for real-life applications it is essential that graph pattern mat...
Abstract. The many approaches which have been proposed in the literature for proving the correctness of unfold/fold program transformations, consist in associating suitable well-fo...
