This paper presents a type-based solution to the long-standing problem of object initialization. Constructors, the conventional mechanism for object initialization, have semantics...
It is rare to give a semantic definition of a full-scale programming language, despite the many potential benefits. Partly this is because the available metalanguages for expressi...

Micro patterns are similar to design patterns, except that micro patterns stand at a lower, closer to the implementation, level of abstraction. Micro patterns are also unique in t...
This paper presents S2E, a platform for analyzing the properties and behavior of software systems. We demonstrate S2E’s use in developing practical tools for comprehensive perfo...
