Verifying Software Network Functions with No Verification Expertise

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa, Matteo Rizzo

We present the design and implementation of Vigor, a software stack and toolchain for building and running software network middleboxes that are guaranteed to be correct, while preserving competitive performance and developer productivity. Developers write ...

Scalable Synchronization in Shared-Memory Systems: Extrapolating, Adapting, Tuning

Georgios Chatzopoulos

As hardware evolves, so do the needs of applications. To increase the performance of an application, there exist two well-known approaches. These are scaling up an application, using a larger multi-core platform, or scaling out, by distributing work to mul ...

Bidirectional transformation between BIP and SysML for visualisation and editing

Leandro Kieliger, Clément Jean Maurice Nussbaumer

When it comes to designing software, the classic procedure consists of writing code that complies with the projects requirements first, and then to extensively test for bugs and defects. Although this approach is valid and can produce correct results, it i ...

Building Efficient Query Engines using High-Level Languages

Ioannis Klonatos

We are currently witnessing a shift towards the use of high-level programming languages for systems development. These approaches collide with the traditional wisdom which calls for using low-level languages for building efficient software systems. This sh ...

Modelling Architecture Styles

Anastasia Mavridou

Software systems tend to increase over time in size and complexity. Their development usually spans a long period of time and often results in systems that are hard to understand, debug and maintain. Architectures are common means for organising coordinati ...

Techniques for Detection, Root Cause Diagnosis, and Classification of In-Production Concurrency Bugs

Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Concurrency bugs are at the heart of some of the worst bugs that plague software. Concurrency bugs slow down software development because it can take weeks or even months before developers can identify and fix them. In-production detection, root cause ...

Rigorous software design for nano and micro satellites using BIP framework

Marco Pagnamenta

The CubETH satellite mission, a cooperative Swiss CubeSat mission involving ETH Zurich, EPF Lausanne, several universities of applied sciences, and Swiss companies, will allow technology demonstrations and proof-of-concepts concerning GNSS-based navigation ...

Low-Overhead Bug Fingerprinting for Fast Debugging

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir

There is a gap between the information available at the time of a software failure and the information actually shipped to developers in the corresponding bug report. As a result, identifying the cause of the bug based on this bug report is often difficult ...

Optimizing Transactions for Captured Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

In this paper, we identify transaction-local memory as a major source of overhead from compiler instrumentation in software transactional memory (STM). Transaction-local memory is memory allocated inside a transaction, which cannot escape (i.e., is capture ...

Improving availability with recursive microreboots: a soft-state system case study

George Candea

Even after decades of software engineering research, complex computer systems still fail. This paper makes the case for increasing research emphasis on dependability and, specifically, on improving availability by reducing time-to-recover. All software fai ...
