Historically, compilers have operated by applying a fixed set of optimizations in a predetermined order. We call such an ordered list of optimizations a compilation sequence. This...

Debugging refers to the laborious process of finding causes of program failures. Often, such failures are introduced when a program undergoes changes and evolves from a stable ver...
Runtime monitoring allows programmers to validate, for instance, the proper use of application interfaces. Given a property specification, a runtime monitor tracks appropriate run...
Software fails and fixing it is expensive. Research in failure prediction has been highly successful at modeling software failures. Few models, however, consider the key cause of ...

We present novel algorithms for parallel testing of code that takes structurally complex test inputs. The algorithms build on the Korat algorithm for constraint-based generation o...
