Constraints as Control

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter

We present an extension of Scala that supports constraint programming over bounded and unbounded domains. The resulting language, Kaplan, provides the benefits of constraint programming while preserving the existing features of Scala. Kaplan integrates con ...

On the Performance of Software Transactional Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

The recent proliferation of multi-core processors has moved concurrent programming into mainstream by forcing increasingly more programmers to write parallel code. Using traditional concurrency techniques, such as locking, is notoriously difficult and has ...

Programming with Specifications

Philippe Paul Henri Suter

This thesis explores the use of specifications for the construction of correct programs. We go beyond their standard use as run-time assertions, and present algorithms, techniques and implementations for the tasks of 1) program verification, 2) declarative ...

Goto Statement Considered Harmful – A Paper Review

In 1968 Edsger Dijkstra wrote a letter to the editor of Communications of the ACM (CACM) stating his opinion about using the goto statement in programs. This letter would serve to begin a hot-headed debate within the programming community. This topic, howe ...

JReq: Database Queries in Imperative Languages

Willy Zwaenepoel, Emmanuel Cecchet, Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

Instead of writing SQL queries directly, programmers often prefer writing all their code in a general purpose programming language like Java and having their programs be automatically rewritten to use database queries. Traditional tools such as object-rela ...

Evaluating Static Source Code Analysis Tools

Thomas Hofer

This thesis presents the results of an evaluation of source code analyzers. Such tools constitute an inexpensive, efficient and fast way of removing the most common vulnerabilities in a software project, even though not all security flaws can be detected. ...

The VELOX Transactional Memory Stack

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Michal Kapalka, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

The adoption of multi- and many-core architectures for mainstream computing undoubtedly brings profound changes in the way software is developed. In particular, the use of fine grained locking as the multi-core programmer’s coordination methodology is cons ...

Database Queries in Java

Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

In conventional programming languages like Java, the interface for accessing databases is often inelegant. Typically, an entire separate database query language must be embedded inside a conventional programming language for programmers to access the full ...

On Satisfiability Modulo Computable Functions

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ali Sinan Köksal

We present a semi-decision procedure for checking satisfiability of formulas in the language of algebraic data types and integer linear arithmetic extended with user-defined terminating recursive functions. Our procedure is designed to integrate into a DPL ...

Counterexample-Guided Focus

The automated inference of quantified invariants is considered one of the next challenges in software verification. The question of the right precision-efficiency tradeoff for the corresponding program analyses here boils down to the question of the right ...
