Scaling Language Features for Program Verification

Georg Stefan Schmid

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

Neural substrates of psychosis revealed by altered dependencies between brain activity and white-matter architecture in individuals with 22q11 deletion syndrome

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Farnaz Delavari

Background: Dysconnectivity has been consistently proposed as a major key mechanism in psychosis. Indeed, disruptions in large-scale structural and functional brain networks have been associated with psychotic symptoms. However, brain activity is largely c ...

Geometric landscapes for material discovery within energy–structure–function maps

Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Henglu Xu

Porous molecular crystals are an emerging class of porous materials formed by crystallisation of molecules with weak intermolecular interactions, which distinguishes them from extended nanoporous materials like metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). To aid disco ...

The unfolding argument: Why IIT and other causal structure theories cannot explain consciousness

Michael Herzog, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

How can we explain consciousness? This question has become a vibrant topic of neuroscience research in recent decades. A large body of empirical results has been accumulated, and many theories have been proposed. Certain theories suggest that consciousness ...

Contract-Based Resource Verification for Higher-Order Functions with Memoization

Viktor Kuncak, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan

We present a new approach for specifying and verifying resource utilization of higher-order functional programs that use lazy evaluation and memoization. In our approach, users can specify the desired resource bound as templates with numerical holes e.g. a ...

Java and Scala's Type Systems are Unsound The Existential Crisis of Null Pointers

Nada Amin

We present short programs that demonstrate the unsoundness of Java and Scala's current type systems. In particular, these programs provide parametrically polymorphic functions that can turn any type into any type without (down) casting. Fortunately, parame ...

Fold-based fusion as a library: a generative programming pearl

Sandro Stucki, Manohar Jonnalagedda

Fusion is a program optimisation technique commonly implemented using special-purpose compiler support. In this paper, we present an alternative approach, implementing fold-based fusion as a standalone library. We use staging to compose operations on folds ...

Java and Scala's Type Systems are Unsound: The Existential Crisis of Null Pointers

Nada Amin

We present short programs that demonstrate the unsoundness of Java and Scala’s current type systems. In particular, these programs provide parametrically polymorphic functions that can turn any type into any type without (down)casting. Fortunately, paramet ...

Search Techniques for Code Generation

Tihomir Gvero

This dissertation explores techniques that synthesize and generate program fragments and test inputs. The main goal of these techniques is to improve and support automation in program synthesis and test input generation. This is important because performin ...

A Flow-Insensitive, Modular Effect System for Purity

Martin Odersky, Nada Amin, Lukas Rytz

This article presents a modular, flow-insensitive type-and- effect system for purity with lightweight annotations. It does not enforce a global programming discipline and allows ar- bitrary effects to occur in impure parts of the program. The system is des ...

Programming with Specifications

Philippe Paul Henri Suter

This thesis explores the use of specifications for the construction of correct programs. We go beyond their standard use as run-time assertions, and present algorithms, techniques and implementations for the tasks of 1) program verification, 2) declarative ...

Compiling Scala for Performance

Iulian Dragos

Scala is a new programming language bringing together object-oriented and functional programming. Its defining features are uniformity and extensibility. Scala offers great flexibility for programmers, allowing them to grow the language through libraries. ...

Opis: Reliable Distributed Systems in OCaml

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic

Concurrency and distribution pose algorithmic and implementation challenges in developing reliable distributed systems, making the field an excellent testbed for evaluating programming language and verification paradigms. Several specialized domain-specifi ...

Optimizing Higher-Order Functions in Scala

Iulian Dragos

Scala relies on libraries as the default mechanism for language extension. While this provides an elegant solution for growing the language, the performance penalty incurred by call-by-name parameters, boxing and anonymous functions is high. We show that i ...
