Concolic testing is a popular dynamic validation technique that can be used for both model checking and automatic test case generation. We have recently introduced concolic testing in the context of logic programming. In contrast to previous approaches, the key ingredient in this setting is a technique to generate appropriate run-time goals by considering all possible ways an atom can unify with the heads of some program clauses. This is called selective unification. In this paper, we show that the existing algorithm is not complete and explore different alternatives in order to have a sound and complete algorithm for selective unification.

Software testing is one of the most popular validation techniques in the software industry. Surprisingly, we can only find a few approaches to testing in the context of logic programming. In this paper, we introduce a systematic approach for dynamic testing that combines both concrete and symbolic execution. Our approach is fully automatic and guarantees full path coverage when it terminates. We prove some basic properties of our technique and illustrate its practical usefulness through a prototype implementation.
The general completeness problem of Hoare logic relative to the standard model $N$ of Peano arithmetic has been studied by Cook, and it allows for the use of arbitrary arithmetical formulas as assertions. In practice, the assertions would be simple a rithmetical formulas, e.g. of a low level in the arithmetical hierarchy. In addition, we find that, by restricting inputs to $N$, the complexity of the minimal assertion theory for the completeness of Hoare logic to hold can be reduced. This paper further studies the completeness of Hoare Logic relative to $N$ by restricting assertions to subclasses of arithmetical formulas (and by restricting inputs to $N$). Our completeness results refine Cooks result by reducing the complexity of the assertion theory.
The nonstandard approach to program semantics has successfully resolved the completeness problem of Floyd-Hoare logic. The kno
Coalition logic is one of the most popular logics for multi-agent systems. While epistemic extensions of coalition logic have received much attention, existence of their complete axiomatisations has so far been an open problem. In this paper we settl e several of those problems. We prove completeness for epistemic coalition logic with common knowledge, with distributed knowledge, and with both common and distributed knowledge, respectively.
Most modern (classical) programming languages support recursion. Recursion has also been successfully applied to the design of several quantum algorithms and introduced in a couple of quantum programming languages. So, it can be expected that recursi on will become one of the fundamental paradigms of quantum programming. Several program logics have been developed for verification of non-recursive quantum programs. However, there are as yet no general methods for reasoning about recursive procedures in quantum computing. We fill the gap in this paper by presenting a logic for recursive quantum programs. This logic is an extension of quantum Hoare logic for quantum While-programs. The (relative) completeness of the logic is proved, and its effectiveness is shown by a running example: fixed-point Grovers search.
