Dynamic slicing algorithms can greatly reduce the debugging effort by focusing the attention of the user on a relevant subset of program statements. Recently algorithms for forwar...
One of the challenging problems for software developers is guaranteeing that a system as built is consistent with its architectural design. In this paper we describe a technique t...

Dynamic slicing is a well-known program debugging technique. Given a program P and input I, it finds all program statements which directly/indirectly affect the values of some var...
This paper reports on our experiences with using the emerging web service technologies and tools to create a demonstration information broker system as part of our research into i...

FLAVERS is a finite-state verification approach that allows an analyst to incrementally add constraints to improve the precision of the model of the system being analyzed. Except ...
SLAng is an XML language for defining service level agreements, the part of a contract between the client and provider of an Internet service that describes the quality attributes...
Although object-oriented languages can improve programming practices, their characteristics may introduce new problems for software engineers. One important problem is the presenc...
We describe an efficient decentralized monitoring algorithm that monitors a distributed program's execution to check for violations of safety properties. The monitoring is ba...
