We associate to our programs a semantics based on a (continuous) immediate consequence operator, TR, which models the (values/normal forms) semantics of R. Then, we develop an effective debugging methodology which is based on abstract interpretation: by approximating the intended specification of the semantics of R we derive a finitely terminating bottom-up diagnosis method, which can be used statically. Our debugging framework does not require the user to either provide error symptoms in advance or answer questions concerning program correctness. We have made available a prototypical implementation in Haskell and have tested it on some non trivial examples.}, keywords = {Abstract Diagnosis, Abstract Interpretation, Abstract Verification, Declarative Debugging, Functional Programming, Inductive Verification}, author = {Maria Alpuente and Marco Comini and Santiago Escobar and Moreno Falaschi and Salvador Lucas}, editor = {Leuschel, M.} }
