As slicing is a program analysis that can be completely based on the
information given in the CFG, we want to provide a framework which
allows us to formalize and prove properties of slicing regardless of
the actual programming language. So the starting point for the formalization
is the definition of an abstract CFG, i.e.\ without considering features
specific for certain languages. By doing so we ensure that our framework
is as generic as possible since all proofs hold for every language whose
CFG conforms to this abstract CFG.
Static Slicing analyses a CFG prior to execution. Whereas dynamic
slicing can provide better results for certain inputs (i.e.\ trace and
initial state), static slicing is more conservative but provides
results independent of inputs.
Correctness for static slicing is defined using a weak
simulation between nodes and states when traversing the original and
the sliced graph. The weak simulation property demands that if a
(node,state) tuples $(n_1,s_1)$ simulates $(n_2,s_2)$
and making an observable move in the original graph leads from
$(n_1,s_1)$ to $(n_1',s_1')$, this tuple simulates a
tuple $(n_2,s_2)$ which is the result of making an
observable move in the sliced graph beginning in $(n_2',s_2')$.

text ‹Every procedure has a unique name, e.g. in object oriented languages
‹pname› refers to class + procedure.›
text ‹A state is a call stack of tuples, which consists of:
\begin{enumerate}
\item data information, i.e.\ a mapping from the local variables in the call
frame to their values, and
\item control flow information, e.g.\ which node called the current procedure.
\end{enumerate}
Update and predicate edges check and manipulate only the data information
of the top call stack element. Call and return edges however may use the data and
control flow information present in the top stack element to state if this edge is
traversable. The call edge additionally has a list of functions to determine what
values the parameters have in a certain call frame and control flow information for
the return. The return edge is concerned with passing the values
of the return parameter values to the underlying stack frame. See the funtions
‹transfer› and ‹pred› in locale ‹CFG›.›
