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...

Phantm: PHP analyzer for type mismatch
We present Phantm, a static analyzer that uses a flowsensitive analysis to detect type errors in PHP applications. Phantm can infer types for nested arrays, and can leverage runti...

An effective dynamic analysis for detecting generalized deadlocks
We present an effective dynamic analysis for finding a broad class of deadlocks, including the well-studied lock-only deadlocks as well as the less-studied, but no less widespread...
