Synchronous systems can immediately react to the inputs of their environment which may lead to so-called causality cycles between actions and their trigger conditions. Systems wit...
Data-flow analysis is a common technique to gather program information for use in transformations such as register allocation, dead-code elimination, common subexpression elimina...
Many of the existing techniques for impact set computation in change propagation and regression testing are approximate for the sake of efficiency. A way to improve precision is ...
Numerous optimizations exist for improving the performance of nondeferred reference-counting (RC) garbage collection. Their designs are ad hoc, intended to exploit different count...
