Whether context-sensitive program analysis is more effective than context-insensitive analysis is an ongoing discussion. There is evidence that context-sensitivity matters in complex analyses like pointer analysis or program slicing. Empirical data shows that contextsensitive program slicing is more precise and under some circumstances even faster than context-insensitive program slicing. This ...

INSTRUCTIONS The diameter of silicon wafer becomes larger in order to increase the number of chips per one wafer. For such a larger diameter silicon ingot is mainly sliced by using multi-wire method, in which a long thin wire is used with slurry. In this method, several hundreds of wafers could be sliced at the same time. However there are still problems remained, such as large cracks, slurry t...

Robotic wire-feed additive manufacturing technology is possible to directly fabricate metallic overhangs without support structures through multi-direction deposition. To automatically produce complex components with overhangs, an efficient multi-direction slicing algorithm to slice CAD models into a set of proper layers is required. This paper reports the concept and implementation of a new st...

This paper generalizes program slicing algorithms originally defined over representations of programs to operate over directed graphs. Doing so provides a uniform framework to model Weiser’s and Ottenstein & Ottenstein’s approaches to program slicing as abstract mathematical operations transparent of any concerns of a program’s structure or its semantics. This transparency helps us in a) derivi...

Maintenance of aging legacy COBOL systems is labor-intensive and is becoming a more and more difficult problem. Program slicing is a potentially useful analysis for aiding different maintenance activities, including program comprehension, reverse engineering, debugging, and testing. Numerous techniques have been proposed in the past decades; however, in interactive contexts, we found none of th...

Program slicing is a technique which supports program comprehension. Program slicing extracts all statements — called a program slice — that may affect a certain statement. However, program slicing is not useful if an analysis target program is too large since program slices of such a program are also often too large. Thin slicing is a technique reducing the size of program slice by extracting ...

Layered manufacturing (LM) or rapid prototyping is a process in which a part is produced using layer-by-layer addition of the material. In LM, slicing of the CAD model of a part to be produced is one of the important steps. Slicing of CAD model with a very small slice thickness leads to large build time. At the same time if large slice thickness is chosen, the surface Žnish is very bad due to s...

This paper presents slicing algorithms for efficient model prototyping. The algorithms directly operate upon a non-uniform rational B-spline surface model. An adaptive slicing algorithm is developed to obtain an accurate and smooth part surface. A selective hatching strategy is employed to further reduce the build time by solidifying the kernel regions of a part with the maximum allowable thick...

The programmer has to understand the behavior of two similar programs and then identify the execution difference which produces difference in output. When two similar programs are executed under two different environments which shows different behavior in output. The main difference exists in the program behavior is due to two different types of input. This paper proposes differential slicing b...

Network slicing is a key enabler for the serviceoriented 5G vision, that aims to satisfy various per-service requirements. Unlike core network slicing, radio access network (RAN) slicing is still at its infancy, with several works just starting to investigate the challenges and potentials to enable a mutli-tenant, multi-service RAN. One of the major challenges in RAN slicing is to provide diffe...
