Partial evaluation is a powerful and general program optimization technique that preserves program semantics and has many successful applications. Optimization is achieved by specializing programs w.r.t. a part of their input data so that, when the residual or specialized program is executed on the remaining input data, it produces the same outcome than the original program with all of its input data. Existing PE schemes do not apply to expressive rule-based languages like Maude, CafeOBJ, OBJ, ASF+SDF, and ELAN, which support: 1) rich type structures with sorts, subsorts, and overloading; and 2) equational rewriting modulo various combinations of axioms such as associativity, commutativity, and identity.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
