Parallel symbolic execution for automated real-world software testing

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Vlad Ureche, Stefan Bucur

This paper introduces Cloud9, a platform for automated testing of real-world software. Our main contribution is the scalable parallelization of symbolic execution on clusters of commodity hardware, to help cope with path explosion. Cloud9 provides a system ...

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. ...

Compiling Scala for Performance

Iulian Dragos

Scala is a new programming language bringing together object-oriented and functional programming. Its defining features are uniformity and extensibility. Scala offers great flexibility for programmers, allowing them to grow the language through libraries. ...

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 ...

NEURON and Python

Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Lee Hines

The NEURON simulation program now allows Python to be used, alone or in combination with NEURON's traditional Hoc interpreter. Adding Python to NEURON has the immediate benefit of making available a very extensive suite of analysis tools written for engine ...

Computer Code as a Medium for Human Communication: Are Programming Languages Improving?

Gilles Dubochet

Programming languages are not only useful to command computers, they also increasingly are a medium for human communication. I will use the framework of distributed cognition to discuss how knowledge is shared in a team of programmers and to show that comp ...

Aseba Meets D-Bus: From the Depths of a Low-Level Event-

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat

The robotics research community has clearly acknowledged the need of open and standard software stacks to promote reuse of code and developments. However, to date no particular project has prevailed. We suggest that one possible reason for this is that mos ...

Exploration of Memory Hierarchy Configurations for Efficient Garbage Collection on High-Performance Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso

Modern embedded devices (e.g., PDAs, mobile phones) are now incorporating Java as a very popular implementation language in their designs. These new embedded systems include multiple applications that are dynamically launched by the user, which can produce ...
