The satisfiability problem is the fundamental problem in proving the conflict-freeness of specifications, or in finding a counterexample for an invalid statement. In this paper, w...
Sized types are a modular and theoretically well-understood tool for checking termination of recursive and productivity of corecursive definitions. The essential idea is to track ...
Operating systems account for memory consumption and allow for termination at the level of individual processes. As a result, if one process consumes too much memory, it can be te...
