Static analysis allows us to determine aspects of the dynamic behavior of p- grams and systems without actually executing them. Traditionally used in - timizing compilers, static analysis is now also used extensively in veri?cation, software certi?cation and semantics-based manipulation. The research com- nity in static analysis covers a broad spectrum from foundational issues new semantic models of programming languages and systems through to practical tools.TheseriesofStatic AnalysisSymposia hasservedasthe primaryvenue for presentation and discussion of theoretical, practical and...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP'98, held as part of the Joint European Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS'98, in Lisbon, Portugal, in March/April 1998.
This volume presents 17 revised full papers selected from a total of 59 submissions; also included is one invited paper. Among the issues addressed are software specification and verification, programming paradigms, semantics for formal development and implementation, program analysis, program transformation, etc.

Program analysis concerns static techniques for computing reliable approximate information about the dynamic behaviour of programs. Applications include compilers (for code improvement), software validation (for detecting errors in algorithms or breaches of security) and transformations between data representation (for solving problems such as the Y2K problem). This book is unique in giving an overview of the four major approaches to program analysis: data flow analysis, constraint based analysis, abstract interpretation, and type and effect systems. The presentation demonstrates the...

This Festschrift volume is published in honor of Hanne Riis Nielson and Flemming Nielson on the occasion of their 60th birthdays in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The papers included in this volume deal with the wide area of calculi, semantics, and analysis.
The book features contributions from colleagues, who have worked together with Hanne and Flemming through their scientific life and are dedicated to them and to their work. The papers were presented at a colloquium at the Technical University of Denmark in January 2016.
