Generalizing Bulk-Synchronous Parallel Processing for Data Science: From Data to Threads and Agent-Based Simulations

Zilu Tian

Agent-based simulations have been widely applied in many disciplines, by scientists and engineers alike. Scientists use agent-based simulations to tackle global problems, including alleviating poverty, reducing violence, and predicting the impact of pandem ...

Proving and Disproving Equivalence of Functional Programming Assignments

Viktor Kuncak, Dragana Milovancevic

We present an automated approach to verify the correctness of programming assignments, such as the ones that arise in a functional programming course. Our approach takes as input student submissions and reference solutions, and uses equivalence checking to ...

Trust as a Programming Primitive

Adrien Ghosn

Programming has changed; programming languages have not. Modern software embraced reusable software components, i.e., public libraries, and runs in the cloud, on machines that co-locate applications from various origins. This new programming paradigm leads ...

Type-Safe Metaprogramming and Compilation Techniques For Designing Efficient Systems in High-Level Languages

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Software engineering practices have been steadily moving towards higher-level programming languages and away from lower-level ones. High-level languages tend to greatly improve safety, productivity, and code maintainability because they handle various impl ...

A Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

Philipp Haller, Heather Christine Klug

The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...

Verification by Reduction to Functional Programs

Régis William Blanc

In this thesis, we explore techniques for the development and verification of programs in a high-level, expressive, and safe programming language. Our programs can express problems over unbounded domains and over recursive and mutable data structures. We p ...

Function Passing: A Model for Typed, Distributed Functional Programming

Philipp Haller, Heather Christine Klug, Jocelyn Boullier

The most successful systems for “big data” processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate on which to build data-centric distributed systems. A key id ...

Translating Scala Programs to Isabelle/HOL, Automated Reasoning

Viktor Kuncak

We present a trustworthy connection between the Leon verification system and the Isabelle proof assistant. Leon is a system for verifying functional Scala programs. It uses a variety of automated theorem provers (ATPs) to check verification conditions (VCs ...

Decrypting Local Type Inference

Hubert Plociniczak

Statically typed languages verify programs at compile-time. As a result many programming mistakes are detected at an early stage of development. A programmer does not have to specify types for every single term manually, however. Many programming languages ...

Developing Verified Software Using Leon

Viktor Kuncak

We present Leon, a system for developing functional Scala programs annotated with contracts. Contracts in Leon can themselves refer to recursively defined functions. Leon aims to find counterexamples when functions do not meet the specifications, and proof ...

Yin-yang: concealing the deep embedding of DSLs

Christoph Koch, Martin Odersky, Vojin Jovanovic, Sandro Stucki, Amir Shaikhha

Deeply embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) intrinsically compromise programmer experience for improved program performance. Shallow EDSLs complement them by trading program performance for good programmer experience. We present Yin-Yang, a framework ...

ScalaDyno: Making Name Resolution and Type Checking Fault-tolerant

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche

The ScalaDyno compiler plugin allows fast prototyping with the Scala programming language, in a way that combines the benefits of both statically and dynamically typed languages. Static name resolution and type checking prevent partially-correct code from ...

Accelerating parser combinators with macros

Manohar Jonnalagedda, Eric Beguet

Parser combinators provide an elegant way of writing parsers: parser implementations closely follow the structure of the underlying grammar, while accommodating interleaved host language code for data processing. However, the host language features used fo ...

An overview of the Leon verification system: verification by translation to recursive functions

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Régis William Blanc, Etienne Kneuss

We present the Leon verification system for a subset of the Scala programming language. Along with several functional features of Scala, Leon supports imperative constructs such as mutations and loops, using a translation into recursive functional form. Bo ...

CafeSat: a Modern SAT Solver for Scala

Régis William Blanc

We present CafeSat, a SAT solver written in the Scala programming language. CafeSat is a modern solver based on DPLL and featuring many state-of-the-art techniques and heuristics. It uses two-watched literals for Boolean constraint propagation, conflict-dr ...

Scala Macros: Let Our Powers Combine!

Eugene Burmako

Compile-time metaprogramming has been proven immensely useful enabling programming techniques such as language virtualization, embedding of external DSLs, self-optimization, and boilerplate generation amongst many others. In the recent production release o ...

Scala Macros, a Technical Report

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako

Metaprogramming is a powerful technique of software development, which allows to automate program generation. Applications of metaprogramming range from improving expressiveness of a programming language via deep embedding of domain-specific languages to b ...

Lightweight Polymorphic Effects

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller, Lukas Rytz

Type-and-effect systems are a well-studied approach for reasoning about the computational behavior of programs. Nevertheless, there is only one example of an effect system that has been adopted in a wide-spread industrial language: Java’s checked exception ...

Certifying Solutions for Numerical Constraints

Viktor Kuncak, Eva Darulova

A large portion of software is used for numerical computation in mathematics, physics and engineering. Among the aspects that make verification in this domain difficult is the need to quantify numerical errors, such as roundoff errors and errors due to the ...
