This article investigates formal properties of a family of semantically sound flow-sensitive type systems for tracking information flow in simple While programs. The family is ind...
We present the new technique of dynamic path reduction (DPR), which allows one to prune redundant paths from the state space of a program under verification. DPR is a very general...
This paper addresses the notion of declarative goals as used in agent programming. Declarative goals describe desirable states, and semantics of these goals in an agent programmin...

This paper presents an innovative model of a program’s internal behavior over a set of test inputs, called the probabilistic program dependence graph (PPDG), that facilitates pr...
The population size in evolutionary computation is a significant parameter affecting computational effort and the ability to successfully evolve solutions. We find that population...
