Containers and Aggregates, Mutators and Isolates for Reactive Programming

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller, Aleksandar Prokopec

Many programs have an inherently reactive nature imposed by the functional dependencies between their data and external events. Classically, these dependencies are dealt with using callbacks. Reactive programming with first-class reactive values is a parad ...

Scala Macros: Let Our Powers Combine!

Eugene Burmako

Compile-time metaprogramming has been proven immensely useful enabling programming techniques such as language virtualization, embedding of external DSLs, self-optimization, and boilerplate generation amongst many others. In the recent production release o ...

Quasiquotes for Scala

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako, Denys Shabalin

We introduce quasiquotes for the Scala programming language, which solve the problem of manual tree construction and deconstruction. Included case studies show that quasiquotes indeed are easier to work with than existing tools for tree construction. When ...

Convergent Message-Passing Algorithms in the Presence of Erasures

Nicholas Ruozzi

We examine how to design convergent and correct message-passing schemes, similar to the min-sum algorithm, for maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation in the case that the messages passed between two nodes of the network may never be delivered. The proposed ...

Adjustable fixation system for neurosurgical devices

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Rémi Charrier, David Haag

The system comprises at least a support (5) to be attached to a patient by fixing means (4), said support having an outer thread (7), a first nut (9) with an inner thread (11 ) cooperating with said outer thread (7) and an anchor having a spherical bottom ...

Data Races vs. Data Race Bugs: Telling the Difference with Portend

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Even though most data races are harmless, the harmful ones are at the heart of some of the worst concurrency bugs. Alas, spotting just the harmful data races in programs is like finding a needle in a haystack: 76%-90% of the true data races reported by sta ...

Accurately Classifying Data Races with Portend

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Even though most data races are harmless, the harmful ones are at the heart of some of the worst concurrency bugs. Eliminating all data races from programs is impractical (e.g., system performance could suffer severely), yet spotting just the harmful ones ...

Isolated Actors for Race-Free Concurrent Programming

Philipp Haller

Message-based concurrency using actors has the potential to scale from multicore processors to distributed systems. However, several challenges remain until actor-based programming can be applied on a large scale. First, actor implementations must be effic ...

JErlang: Erlang with Joins

Hubert Plociniczak

ERLANG is an industrially successful functional language that uses the Actor model for concurrency. It supports the message-passing paradigm by providing pattern-matching over received messages. Unfortunately coding synchronisation between multiple process ...

MUNCH - Automated Reasoner for Sets and Multisets

Viktor Kuncak, Ruzica Piskac

This system description provides an overview of the MUNCH reasoner for sets and multisets. MUNCH takes as the input a formula in a logic that supports expressions about sets, multisets, and integers. Constraints over collections and integers are connected ...
