This volume contains the background texts for an IFIP
State-of-the-Art Seminar on Formal Program Development, held
in early 1992 near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The book stems from work done by IFIP Working Group 2.1 on
Algorithmic Languages and Calculi. Since 1975, the Working
Group has increasingly focused on systematic approaches to
programming and on appropriate concepts and notations to
support such approaches. ...

Code motion techniques are integrated in many optimizing production and research compilers. They are still a major topic of ongoing research in program optimization, but traditional methods are restricted by a narrow focus on their immediate effects. A more ambitious approach is to investigate the interdependencies between distinct component transformations.This monograph provides a comprehensive account of the methods most accepted in practice ...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, STACS 2000, held in Lille, France in February 2000.The 51 revised full papers presented together with the three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 146 submissions on the basis of some 700 reviewers' reports. The papers address fundamental issues from all current areas of theoretical computer ...

This book investigates the problem of translating relational queries into iterative programs using methods and techniques from the areas of functional programming and program transformation. The first part presents two algorithms which generate iterative programs from algebra-based query specifications. While the first algorithm is based on the transformation of recursive programs, the second uses functional expressions to generate the final ...

This volume is based on the "School/Workshop on Linear Time, Branching Time and Partial Order in Logics and Models for Concurrency" organized by the editors and held in the period May 30-June 3, 1988 at Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. The School/Workshop was an activity of the project REX - Research and Education in Concurrent Systems. The volume contains tutorials and research contributions to the three approaches - linear time, - branching ...
