Abstract. This paper studies how to verify the conformity of a program with its specification and proposes a novel constraint-programming framework for bounded program verification...
The interest is in characterizing insightfully the power of program self-reference in effective programming systems (epses), the computability-theoretic analogs of programming lan...
The Ada programming language has been designed from the ground up for safety-critical real-time systems. This trend has continued with the Ada 2005 language definition which has i...
In designing languages, we strive for consistency and elegance. In object-oriented languages, simple data types have always been a problem in that they do not quite fit in with th...
The design of many popular object-oriented languages like Smalltalk, Eiffel, or Sather follows a certain trend: The class is the only structuring form. In this paper, the need for ...
