Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation 17th International Symposium, LOPSTR 2007, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, August 23-24, 2007, Revised Selected Papers

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation, LOPSTR 2007, held in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, August 23-24, 2007 colocated with SAS 2007.
The 13 revised full papers presented together with one invited talk were carefully selected and revised from 30 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on program termination, program transformation, constraint solving and analysis as well as software engineering.

Program Termination.- Proving Termination with (Boolean) Satisfaction.- Termination Analysis of Logic Programs Based on Dependency Graphs.- Type-Based Homeomorphic Embedding and Its Applications to Online Partial Evaluation.- Program Transformation.- Towards a Normal Form for Mercury Programs.- Aggregates for CHR through Program Transformation.- Preserving Sharing in the Partial Evaluation of Lazy Functional Programs.- Denotation by Transformation.- Constraint Solving and Analysis.- Generation of Rule-Based Constraint Solvers: Combined Approach.- A Scalable Inclusion Constraint Solver Using Unification.- Annotation Algorithms for Unrestricted Independent And-Parallelism in Logic Programs.- A Flexible, (C)LP-Based Approach to the Analysis of Object-Oriented Programs.- Software Engineering.- Snapshot Generation in a Constructive Object-Oriented Modeling Language.- Synthesis of Data Views for Communicating Processes.- Action Refinement in Process Algebra and Security Issues.
