Abstract
PSI is a knowledge based program synthesis <193> system developed at Stanford. The synthesis module consists of two major sub-systems:
-
1.
PECOS, the coding expert, is a set of refinement rules for program synthesis which represent a range of knowledge about sets, xmappings, arrays, etc.
-
2.
LIBRA, the efficiency expert, consists of knowledge which enables the system to evaluate alternative implementations of a program.
