Testing concurrent programs using value schedules
Concurrent programs are difficult to debug and verify because of the nondeterministic nature of concurrent executions. A particular concurrency-related bug may only show up under ...

A trace simplification technique for effective debugging of concurrent programs
Concurrent programs are notoriously difficult to debug. We see two main reasons for this: 1) concurrency bugs are often difficult to reproduce, 2) traces of buggy concurrent execu...

Falcon: fault localization in concurrent programs
Concurrency fault are difficult to find because they usually occur under specific thread interleavings. Fault-detection tools in this area find data-access patterns among threa...

A Theory of Bisimulation for a Fragment of Concurrent ML with Local Names
Concurrent ML is an extension of Standard ML with π-calculus-like primitives for multi-threaded programming. CML has a reduction semantics, but to date there has been no labelled...
