Paper: Non-Deterministic Games and Program Analysis: An Application to Security (at LICS 1999)

Authors: Pasquale Malacaria Chris Hankin

Abstract

We present a unifying framework for using game semantics as a basis for program analysis. Also, we present a case study of the techniques. The unifying framework presents games-based program analysis as an abstract interpretation of an appropriate games category in the category of non-deterministic games. The case study concerns an application to security.
