Query: Verification of Java Bytecode using Analysis and Transformation of Logic
  Programs   State of the art analyzers in the Logic Programming (LP) paradigm are
nowadays mature and sophisticated. They allow inferring a wide variety of
global properties including termination, bounds on resource consumption, etc.
The aim of this work is to automatically transfer the power of such analysis
tools for LP to the analysis and verification of Java bytecode (JVML). In order
to achieve our goal, we rely on well-known techniques for meta-programming and
program specialization. More precisely, we propose to partially evaluate a JVML
interpreter implemented in LP together with (an LP representation of) a JVML
program and then analyze the residual program. Interestingly, at least for the
examples we have studied, our approach produces very simple LP representations
of the original JVML programs. This can be seen as a decompilation from JVML to
high-level LP source. By reasoning about such residual programs, we can
automatically prove in the CiaoPP system some non-trivial properties of JVML
programs such as termination, run-time error freeness and infer bounds on its
resource consumption. We are not aware of any other system which is able to
verify such advanced properties of Java bytecode.
