Call Graphs for Languages with Parametric Polymorphism

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche, Dmytro Petrashko

The performance of contemporary object oriented languages depends on optimizations such as devirtualization, inlining, and specialization, and these in turn depend on precise call graph analysis. Existing call graph analyses do not take advantage of the in ...

Java and Scala's Type Systems are Unsound The Existential Crisis of Null Pointers

Nada Amin

We present short programs that demonstrate the unsoundness of Java and Scala's current type systems. In particular, these programs provide parametrically polymorphic functions that can turn any type into any type without (down) casting. Fortunately, parame ...

Contextualized ranking of entity types based on knowledge graphs

Karl Aberer, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux, Michele Catasta, Roman Prokofyev

A large fraction of online queries targets entities. For this reason, Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) increasingly contain information about the searched entities such as pictures, short summaries, related entities, and factual information. A key facet ...

Implementing Higher-Kinded Types in Dotty

Martin Odersky, Guillaume André Fradji Martres, Dmytro Petrashko

dotty is a new, experimental Scala compiler based on DOT, the calculus of Dependent Object Types. Higher-kinded types are a natural extension of first-order lambda calculus, and have been a core construct of Haskell and Scala. As long as such types are jus ...

Search Techniques for Code Generation

Tihomir Gvero

This dissertation explores techniques that synthesize and generate program fragments and test inputs. The main goal of these techniques is to improve and support automation in program synthesis and test input generation. This is important because performin ...

KEu(MoO4)(2): Polymorphism, Structures, and Luminescent Properties

Alla Arakcheeva, Philip Pattison

In this paper, with the example of two different polymorphs of KEu(MoO4)(2), the influence of the ordering of the A-cations on the luminescent properties in scheelite related compounds (A',A '') (B',B '')O-4 is investigated. The polymorphs were synthe ...

On Counter-Example Complete Verification for Higher-Order Functions

Viktor Kuncak, Etienne Kneuss, Nicolas Charles Yves Voirol

We present a verification procedure for pure higher-order functional Scala programs with parametric types. We show that our procedure is sound for proofs, as well as sound and complete for counter-examples. The procedure reduces the analysis of higher-orde ...

Genome-wide association study of virologic response with efavirenz-containing or abacavir-containing regimens in AIDS clinical trials group protocols

Background Efavirenz and abacavir are components of recommended first-line regimens for HIV-1 infection. We used genome-wide genotyping and clinical data to explore genetic associations with virologic failure among patients randomized to efavirenz-containi ...

Counterexample-Guided Quantifier Instantiation for Synthesis in SMT, Computer Aided Verification

Viktor Kuncak, Andrew Joseph Reynolds

We introduce the first program synthesis engine implemented inside an SMT solver. We present an approach that extracts solution functions from unsatisfiability proofs of the negated form of synthesis conjectures. We also discuss novel counterexample-guided ...
