The design of concurrent programs is error-prone due to the interaction between concurrently executing threads. Traditional automated techniques for finding errors in concurrent ...
Abstract. In this paper we consider the relationship between refinement-oriented specification and specifications using a temporal logic. We investigate the extent to which one can...
Pattern analysis consists in determining the shape of the set of solutions of the constraint store at some program points. Our basic claim is that pattern analyses can all be desc...
Many interesting analyses for constraint logic-based languages are aimed at the detection of monotonic properties, that is to say, properties that are preserved as the computation...
Databases may not satisfy integrity constraints (ICs) for several reasons. Nevertheless, in most of the cases an important part of the data is still consistent wrt certain desired...
