Using production grammars in software testing
Extensible typesafe systems, such as Java, rely critically on a large and complex software base for their overall protection and integrity, and are therefore difficult to test and verify. Traditional testing techniques, such as manual test generation ...
Jargons for domain engineering
In the Family-oriented Abstraction, Specification and Translation (FAST) domain engineering process for software production, a member of a software product family is automatically generated from a model expressed in a DSL. In practice, the time and ...
Slicing spreadsheets: an integrated methodology for spreadsheet testing and debugging
Spreadsheet languages, which include commercial spreadsheets and various research systems, have proven to be flexible tools in many domain specific settings. Research shows, however, that spreadsheets often contain faults. We would like to provide at ...
An annotation language for optimizing software libraries
This paper introduces an annotation language and a compiler that together can customize a library implementation for specific application needs. Our approach is distinguished by its ability to exploit high level, domain-specific information in the ...
A case for source-level transformations in MATLAB
In this paper, we discuss various performance overheads in MATLAB codes and propose different program transformation strategies to overcome them. In particular, we demonstrate that high-level source-to-source transformations of MATLAB programs are ...
Using Java reflection to automate extension language parsing
An extension language is an interpreted programming language designed to be embedded in a domain-specific framework. The addition of domain-specific primitive operations to an embedded extension language transforms that vanilla extension language into a ...
DSL implementation using staging and monads
The impact of Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) on software design is considerable. They allow programs to be more concise than equivalent programs written in a high-level programming languages. They relieve programmers from making decisions about data-...
Monadic robotics
We have developed a domain specific language for the construction of robot controllers, Frob (Functional ROBotics). The semantic basis for Frob is Functional Reactive Programming, or simply FRP, a purely functional model of continuous time, interactive ...
Domain specific embedded compilers
Domain-specific embedded languages (DSELs) expressed in higher-order, typed (HOT) languages provide a composable framework for domain-specific abstractions. Such a framework is of greater utility than a collection of stand-alone domain-specific ...
Verischemelog: Verilog embedded in Scheme
Verischemelog (pronounced with 5 syllables, veruh-scheme-uh-log) is a language and programming environment embedded in Scheme for designing digital electronic hardware systems and for controlling the simulation of these circuits. Simulation is performed ...
Declarative specification of data-intensive Web sites
Integrated information systems are often realized as data-intensive Web sites, which integrate data from multiple data sources. We present a system, called STRUDEL, for specifying and generating data-intensive Web sites. STRUDEL separates the tasks of ...
A collaboration specification language
COCA (Collaborative Objects Coordination Architecture) was proposed as a novel means to model and support collaborations over the Internet. Our approach separates coordination policies from user interfaces and the policies are specified in a logic-based ...
Hancock: a language for processing very large-scale data
A signature is an evolving customer profile computed from call records. AT&T uses signatures to detect fraud and to target marketing. Code to compute signatures can be difficult to write and maintain because of the volume of data. We have designed and ...
