This paper surveys recent work on applying analysis and transformation techniques that
originate in the field of constraint logic programming (CLP) to the problem of verifying …

Energy consumption analysis of embedded programs requires the analysis of low-level
program representations. This is challenging because the gap between the high-level …

We present a method for automatically generating verification conditions for a class of
imperative programs and safety properties. Our method is parametric with respect to the …

The very nature of smart contracts and blockchain platforms, where program execution and
storage are replicated across a large number of nodes, makes resource consumption …

The local solver TD is a generic fixpoint engine which explores a given system of equations
on demand. It has been successfully applied to the interprocedural analysis of procedural …

Variable sharing is a fundamental property in the static analysis of logic programs, since it is
instrumental for ensuring correctness and increasing precision while inferring many useful …

The static estimation of the energy consumed by program executions is an important
challenge, which has applications in program optimization and verification, and is …

Multi-core and highly connected architectures have become ubiquitous, and this has
brought renewed interest in language-based approaches to the exploitation of parallelism …

Promoting energy efficiency to a first class system design goal is an important research
challenge. Although more energy-efficient hardware can be designed, it is software that …

This thesis shows that whole-program context-sensitive inclusion-based pointer analysis, a
previously intractable problem, can be efficiently solved using binary decision diagrams. In …
