A comparative study of programmer-written and automatically inferred contracts
Where do contracts — specification elements embedded in executable code — come from? To produce them, should we rely on the programmers, on automatic tools, or some combinati...

Optimal Prefix Codes for Some Families of Two-Dimensional Geometric Distributions
Lossless compression is studied for pairs of independent integer-valued symbols emitted by a source with a geometric probability distribution of parameter q (0, 1). Optimal prefix...

Non-programmers identifying functionality in unfamiliar code: Strategies and barriers
Source code on the web is a widely available and potentially rich learning resource for nonprogrammers. However, unfamiliar code can be daunting to end-users without programming e...

A Language Independent Approach for Detecting Duplicated Code
Code duplication is one of the factors that severely complicates the maintenance and evolution of large software systems. Techniques for detecting duplicated code exist but rely m...

Uniform Hardness Amplification in NP via Monotone Codes
We consider the problem of amplifying uniform average-case hardness of languages in NP, where hardness is with respect to BPP algorithms. We introduce the notion of monotone error...
