Proof search for the structural synthesis of programs (SSP) — a deductive program synthesis method which is suited for compositional programming in large and is in practical use in a number of programming environments is explained. SSP is based on a decidable logical calculus where complexity of the proof search is still PSPACE. This requires paying special attention to the efficiency of search...

A number of synthesis applications are made possible by automated tools for synthesis. Recent work has shown that SMT solvers, instead of just acting as subroutines for automated software synthesis tasks, can be instrumented to perform synthesis themselves. This paper focuses on some of the current challenges for developing fast and useful procedures in SMT solvers for the benefit of synthesis ...

An automated synthesis system using a solid-phase extraction (SPE) system and column packed with octadecylsilica (ODS), which was coated with phospholipid and loaded with dog liver microsomes, was developed for synthesis of glucuronides. Preparation of the microsome-immobilized SPE column, glucuronidation of drugs to synthesize the glucuronides and elution of the products were performed by an a...

1. Abstract Researchers in the area of educational software have always shown a great deal of interest for the automatic synthesis of learning curricula. During the recent years, with the extensive use of metadata and the emergence of the Semantic Web, this vision is gradually turning into a reality. A number of systems for curricula synthesis have been proposed. These systems are based on stro...

Since the early days of programming and automated reasoning, researchers have developed methods for systematically constructing programs from their speci cations. Especially the last decade has seen a urry of activities including the advent of specialized conferences, such as LOPSTR, covering the synthesis of programs in computational logic. In this paper we analyze and compare three state-of-t...

This thesis presents methods for automated synthesis of flexible chip multiprocessor systems from parallel programs targeted at FPGAs to exploit both task-level parallelism and architecture customization. Automated synthesis is necessitated by the complexity of the design space. A detailed description of the design space is provided in order to determine which parameters should be modeled to fa...
