A Polyvariant Binding-Time Analysis for Off-line Partial Deduction

We study the notion of binding-time analysis for logic programs. We formalise the unfolding aspect of an on-line partial deduction system as a Prolog program. Using abstract interpretation, we collect information about the run-time behaviour of the program. We use this information to make the control decisions about the unfolding at analysis time and to turn the on-line system into an off-line system. We report on some initial experiments.Comment: 19 pages (including appendix) Paper (without appendix) appeared in Programming Languages and Systems, Proceedings of the European Symposium on Programming (ESOP'98), Part of ETAPS'98 (Chris Hankin, eds.), LNCS, vol. 1381, 1998, pp. 27-4

Introducing Access Control in Webdamlog

We survey recent work on the specification of an access control mechanism in a collaborative environment. The work is presented in the context of the WebdamLog language, an extension of datalog to a distributed context. We discuss a fine-grained access control mechanism for intentional data based on provenance as well as a control mechanism for delegation, i.e., for deploying rules at remote peers.Comment: Proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages (DBPL 2013), August 30, 2013, Riva del Garda, Trento, Ital

Selected and extended papers of the Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages 2012

The Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP) is an annual conference romoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), which has become an important forum for researchers and practitioners in programming language design and implementation from around the world to interact and present their results and experience. This issue of Science of Computer Programming includes extended versions of selected papers from the XVI SBLP, held in Natal, Brazil on September 23–28, 2012

Programming Languages and Systems

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 29th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2020, which was planned to take place in Dublin, Ireland, in April 2020, as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2020. The actual ETAPS 2020 meeting was postponed due to the Corona pandemic. The papers deal with fundamental issues in the specification, design, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and systems

Programming Languages and Systems

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 31st European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2022, which was held during April 5-7, 2022, in Munich, Germany, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2022. The 21 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. They deal with fundamental issues in the specification, design, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and systems
