Program verification is a promising approach to improving program quality, because it can search all possible program executions for specific errors. However, the need to formally...

Automatic repair of programs has been a longstanding goal in software engineering, yet debugging remains a largely manual process. We introduce a fully automated method for locati...

A method is described for automatically repairing legacy software at the assembly code level using evolutionary computation. The technique is demonstrated on Java byte code and x8...
Abstract. We propose a trace-based concurrent program analysis to soundly remove redundant synchronizations such as locks while preserving the behaviors of the concurrent computati...
We consider the state mapping problem for dynamic software updates and propose a number of approaches that have the potential of automating the state mapping in practical setting....
