10351 Executive Summary – Modelling, Controlling and Reasoning About State

Authors: Amal Ahmed, Nick Benton, Lars Birkedal, and Martin Hofmann

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10351, Modelling, Controlling and Reasoning About State (2010)

Abstract
From 29 August 2010 to 3 September 2010, the Dagstuhl Seminar 10351 ``Modelling, Controlling and Reasoning About State '' was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. 44 researchers, with interests and expertise in many different aspects of modelling and reasoning about mutable state, met to present their current work and discuss ongoing projects and open problems. This executive summary provides a general overview of the goals of the seminar and of the topics discussed.

Step-Indexing: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Authors: Nick Benton and Chung-Kil Hur

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10351, Modelling, Controlling and Reasoning About State (2010)

Abstract
Over the last decade, step-indices have been widely used for the construction of operationally-based logical relations in the presence of various kinds of recursion. We first give an argument that step-indices, or something like them, seem to be required for defining realizability relations between high-level source languages and low-level targets, in the case that the low-level allows egregiously intensional operations such as reflection or comparison of code pointers. We then show how, much to our annoyance, step-indices also seem to prevent us from exploiting such operations as aggressively as we would like in proving program transformations.
