Many compiler optimizations and software engineering tools need precise pointer analyses to be effective. Unfortunately, many Java features, such as dynamic class loading, refle...
1 Feature Oriented Programming (FOP) is an emerging paradigm for application synthesis, analysis, and optimization. A target application is specified declaratively as a set of feat...
A lot of image analysis problems lend themselves to a unified mathematical formulation as optimization problems. Tree-serial dynamic programming is a particular case of the so-cal...
Refactoring is about changing the design of existing code without changing its behaviour, but with the aim of making code easier to understand, modify, or reuse. Taking Haskell an...
This paper describes Splice, a system for writing aspects that perform static program analyses to direct program modifications. The power of an inter-procedural data-flow analys...
