This paper describes a type system that is capable of expressing and enforcing immutability constraints. The specific constraint exis that the abstract state of the object to whi...
Predicate dispatch is an object-oriented (OO) language mechanism for determining the method implementation to be invoked upon a message send. With predicate dispatch, each method ...
Typed Assembly Languages (TALs) can be used to validate the safety of assembly-language programs. However, typing rules are usually trusted as axioms. In this paper, we show how to...

Shape analysis is a promising technique for statically verifying and extracting properties of programs that manipulate complex data structures. We introduce a new characterization...
We develop two simple interval-based models for dynamic superscalar processors. These models allow us to: i) predict with great accuracy performance and power consumption under va...
