Bugs in multi-threaded programs often arise due to data races. Numerous static and
dynamic program analysis techniques have been proposed to detect data races. We …

Detecting and characterizing the effects of software changes is a fundamental component of
software maintenance. Version differencing information can be used to perform version …

Symbolic PathFinder (SPF) is a software analysis tool that combines symbolic execution with
model checking for automated test case generation and error detection in Java bytecode …

Symbolic execution is a well-known program analysis technique which represents program
inputs with symbolic values instead of concrete, initialized, data and executes the program …

The analysis of constraints plays an important role in many aspects of software engineering,
for example constraint satisfiability checking is central to symbolic execution. However, the …

Atomicity is an important specification that enables programmers to understand atomic
blocks of code in a multi-threaded program as if they are sequential. This significantly …

Multithreaded concurrent programs often exhibit wrong behaviors due to unintended
interferences among the concurrent threads. Such errors are often hard to find because they …

Concurrent programs are replacing the sequential programs as they utilize the true
capabilities of multicore architecture. The extensive use of multicore systems and …

Abstract Model checking is a formal verification technique. It takes an exhaustively strategy
to check hardware circuits and network protocols against desired properties. Having been …

Data race is one of the most dangerous errors in multithreaded programming, and despite
intensive studies, it remains a notorious cause of failures in concurrent systems. Detecting …
