Anomaly-based bug prediction, isolation, and validation: an automated approach for software debugging
Software defects, commonly known as bugs, present a serious challenge for system reliability and dependability. Once a program failure is observed, the debugging activities to loc...

Efficient checkpointing of java software using context-sensitive capture and replay
Checkpointing and replaying is an attractive technique that has been used widely at the operating/runtime system level to provide fault tolerance. Applying such a technique at the...

Cork: dynamic memory leak detection for garbage-collected languages
A memory leak in a garbage-collected program occurs when the program inadvertently maintains references to objects that it no longer needs. Memory leaks cause systematic heap grow...

Finding low-utility data structures
Many opportunities for easy, big-win, program optimizations are missed by compilers. This is especially true in highly layered Java applications. Often at the heart of these misse...

An empirical evaluation of test case filtering techniques based on exercising complex information flows
Some software defects trigger failures only when certain complex information flows occur within the software. Profiling and analyzing such flows therefore provides a potentially i...
