ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems

Reasoning about multithreaded object-oriented programs is difficult, due to the nonlocal nature of object aliasing and data races. We propose a programming regime (or programming model) that rules out data races, and enables local reasoning in the ...

This article presents a model and implementation techniques for speeding up constraint propagation. Three fundamental approaches to improving constraint propagation based on propagators as implementations of constraints are explored: keeping track of ...

Bytecode verification is a key point in the security chain of the Java platform. This feature is only optional in many embedded devices since the memory requirements of the verification process are too high. In this article we propose an approach that ...

As probabilistic computations play an increasing role in solving various problems, researchers have designed probabilistic languages which treat probability distributions as primitive datatypes. Most probabilistic languages, however, focus only on ...

We present an architecture and tools for verifying implementations of security protocols. Our implementations can run with both concrete and symbolic implementations of cryptographic algorithms. The concrete implementation is for production and ...
