Failure proximity: a fault localization-based approach
Recent software systems usually feature an automated failure reporting system, with which a huge number of failing traces are collected every day. In order to prioritize fault dia...

How is aliasing used in systems software?
We present a study of all sources of aliasing in over one million lines of C code, identifying in the process the common patterns of aliasing that arise in practice. We find that ...

SYNERGY: a new algorithm for property checking
We consider the problem if a given program satisfies a specified safety property. Interesting programs have infinite state spaces, with inputs ranging over infinite domains, and f...

Exceptions and aspects: the devil is in the details
It is usually assumed that the implementation of exception handling can be better modularized by the use of aspectoriented programming (AOP). However, the trade-offs involved in u...

Dynamic slicing long running programs through execution fast forwarding
Fixing runtime bugs in long running programs using trace based analyses such as dynamic slicing was believed to be prohibitively expensive. In this paper, we present a novel execu...
