In this paper we study the fragile base class problem. This problem occurs in open object-oriented systems employing code inheritance as an implementation reuse mechanism. System d...
Let C be a class of distributions over {0, 1}n . A deterministic randomness extractor for C is a function E : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m such that for any X in C the distribution E(X) is sta...
In the past five years, we have designed and evolved an interlingua for sharing explanations generated by various automated systems such as hybrid web-based question answering sys...

The theory of arrays, introduced by McCarthy in his seminal paper “Toward a mathematical science of computation”, is central to Computer Science. Unfortunately, the theory alo...
Conditioned slicing is a powerful generalisation of static and dynamic slicing which has applications to many problems in software maintenance and evolution, including re-use, ree...
