Sampling of alternatives in migration aspiration models

The use of discrete choice models (DCMs) is a regular approach to investigating migration aspirations concerning destination choices. However, given the complex substitution patterns between destinations, more advanced model specifications than the multino ...

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

Developing Verified Software Using Leon

Viktor Kuncak

We present Leon, a system for developing functional Scala programs annotated with contracts. Contracts in Leon can themselves refer to recursively defined functions. Leon aims to find counterexamples when functions do not meet the specifications, and proof ...

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 ...

To support verification of expressive properties of functional programs, we consider algebraic style specifications that may relate multiple user-defined functions, and compare multiple invocations of a function for different arguments. We present decision ...

On Complete Reasoning about Axiomatic Specifications

Viktor Kuncak, Swen Jacobs

Automated software verification tools typically accept specifications of functions in terms of pre- and postconditions. However, many properties of functional programs can be more naturally specified using a more general form of universally quantified prop ...

iProve: A Scalable Approach to Consumer-Verifiable Software Guarantees

George Candea, Horatiu Jula, Silviu Andrica

Formally proving complex program properties is still considered impractical for systems with over a million lines of code (MLOC). We present iProve, an approach that enables the generation and verification of proofs for interesting program properties in la ...

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 ...

Analyzing Robustness of UML State Machines

UML State Machines constitute an integral part of software behavior specification within the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The development of realistic software applications often results in complex and distributed models. Hence, potential errors can be ...

SCALA is an attractive programming language because it is both very expressive and statically strongly typed. This marriage against nature comes at the price of a certain complexity in the language constructs and the static analysis. This complexity makes ...
