X Abstract

We develop formal methods for reasoning about memory usage at a level of abstraction suitable for establishing or refuting claims about the potential applications of linear logic for static analysis. In particular, we demonstrate a precise relationship between type correctness for a language based on linear logic and the correctness of a reference-counting interpretation of the primitives that the language draws from the rules for the `of course' operation. Our semantics is `low-level' enough...

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
