Program slicing is a technique to extract program parts with respect to some special
computation. Since Weiser first proposed the notion of slicing in 1979, hundreds of papers …

The automated and semi-automated analysis of source code has remained a topic of
intense research for more than thirty years. During this period, algorithms and techniques for …

Program slicing is a viable method to restrict the focus of a task to specific sub-components
of a program. Examples of applications include debugging, testing, program …

The widespread use of object-oriented languages and Internet security concerns are just the
beginning. Add embedded systems, multiple memory banks, highly pipelined units …

A program slice extracts a semantically meaningful portion of a program, based upon a user-
selected slicing criterion. As the study of program slicing has matured, a growing body of …

Current slicing techniques cannot handle systems written in multiple programming
languages. Observation-Based Slicing (ORBS) is a language-independent slicing technique …

The recently introduced WebAssembly standard aims to be a portable compilation target,
enabling the cross-platform distribution of programs written in a variety of languages. We …

An important step towards effective software maintenance is to locate the code relevant to a
particular feature. We report a study applying an execution slice-based technique to a …

This paper makes a case for Source Code Analysis and Manipulation. The paper argues
that it will not only remain important, but that its importance will continue to grow. This …

Program slicing is a technique to identify statements that may influence the computations in
other statements. Despite the ongoing research of almost 25 years, program slicing still has …
