Common coupling (sharing global variables across modules) is widely accepted as a measure of software quality and maintainability; a low level of common coupling is necessary (but...

This paper describes one method for identifying global variables in Ada procedures and adding them to the parameter list of appropriate procedures. Global variables, ones that are...
Hoare logic is bedevilled by complex but coarse side conditions on the use of variables. We define a logic, free of side conditions, which permits more precise statements of a pr...

We introduce lock allocation, an automatic technique that takes a multi-threaded program annotated with atomic sections (that must be executed atomically), and infers a lock assig...

Probabilistic models have been previously shown to be efficient and effective for modeling and recognition of human motion. In particular we focus on methods which represent the h...
