We introduce Pancake, a new language for verifiable, low-level systems programming, especially device drivers. Pancake eschews complex type systems to make the language attractive to systems programmers, while at the same time aiming to ease the formal ...

Systems programmers need fine-grained control over the memory layout of data structures, both to produce performant code and to comply with well-defined interfaces imposed by existing code, standardised protocols or hardware. Code that manipulates these ...

This dissertation focuses on development of new sensing, estimation, and analysis methods for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations in dynamic wind fields. Three main problems are studied, including airflow angle estimation, 3D wind estimation, ...

Granular flows are omnipresent in nature and they have broad scientific and engineering applications. Current study has benefitted a lot from the development of advanced particle tracking technologies. Some technologies are optical based method (...

The idea of a context lemma spans a range of programming-language models: from Milner’s original through the CIU theorem to ‘CIU-like’ results for multiple language features. Each shows that to prove observational equivalence between program terms it is ...

We explore the design and implementation of Frank, a strict functional programming language with a bidirectional effect type system designed from the ground up around a novel variant of Plotkin and Pretnar's effect handler abstraction.

Compiler verification is essential for the construction of fully verified software, but most prior work (such as CompCert) has focused on verifying whole-program compilers. To support separate compilation and to enable linking of results from different ...
