Multi-machine analysis of termination scenarios, providing the specifications for controlled shutdown of ITER discharges

Olivier Sauter, Sun Hee Kim, Francesca Maria Poli, Anna Teplukhina

The task is to show that the specific ITER design features allow a stable well-controlled termination. This is a joint effort in control, exception handling development and physics modelling. Relevant for ITER is to maintain vertical, radial position, and ...

On Verifying Causal Consistency

Rachid Guerraoui, Jad Hamza

Causal consistency is one of the most adopted consistency criteria for distributed implementations of data structures. It ensures that operations are executed at all sites according to their causal precedence. We address the issue of verifying automaticall ...

Compile-Time Type-Driven Data Representation Transformations in Object-Oriented Languages

Vlad Ureche

High-level languages allow programmers to express data structures and algorithms that abstract over the type of data they handle. This improves code reuse and makes it possible to develop general-purpose libraries. Yet, data abstractions slow down program ...

Prototyping Symbolic Execution Engines for Interpreted Languages

George Candea, Johannes Kinder, Stefan Bucur

Symbolic execution is being successfully used to automatically test statically compiled code. However, increasingly more systems and applications are written in dynamic interpreted languages like Python. Building a new symbolic execution engine is a monume ...

Static and fatigue strength of RC slabs under concentrated loads near linear supports

Aurelio Muttoni, Francisco Manuel Maciel Natário

RC slabs without shear reinforcement subjected to c oncentrated loads near lin ear supports are typical cases of deck slabs of bridges, transfer slabs or pile caps. Such elements are often designed or as sessed in shear with code provisions calibrated on ...

An Embedded Query Language in Scala

Amir Shaikhha

In this thesis we address the problem of integrating general purpose programming languages with relational databases. An approach to solving this problem is using raw strings to represent SQL statements. This approach leads to runtime errors and security v ...

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 ...

Debug Determinism: The Sweet Spot for Replay-Based Debugging

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir

Deterministic replay tools offer a compelling approach to debugging hard-to-reproduce bugs. Recent work on relaxed-deterministic replay techniques shows that replay debugging with low in-production overhead is possible. However, despite considerable progre ...

Runtime Checking for Separation Logic

Viktor Kuncak

Separation logic is a popular approach for specifying properties of recursive mutable data structures. Several existing systems verify a subclass of separation logic specifications using static analysis techniques. Checking data structure specifications du ...
