Scaling Language Features for Program Verification

Georg Stefan Schmid

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

Representing Monads with Capabilities

Martin Odersky, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki, Jonathan Immanuel Brachthäuser

Programming with monads can be advantageous even in imperative languages with builtin support for side effects. However, in these languages composing monadic programs is different from composing side effecting imperative programs. This does not need to be ...

Type-Safe Metaprogramming and Compilation Techniques For Designing Efficient Systems in High-Level Languages

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Software engineering practices have been steadily moving towards higher-level programming languages and away from lower-level ones. High-level languages tend to greatly improve safety, productivity, and code maintainability because they handle various impl ...

SIMPLE code: Optical properties with optimal basis functions

Nicola Marzari, Gianluca Prandini, Paolo Umari

We present SIMPLE, a code developed to calculate optical properties of metallic and insulating extended systems using the optimal basis method originally proposed by E.L. Shirley in 1996. Two different approaches for the evaluation of the complex dielectri ...

Finally, a Polymorphic Linear Algebra Language

Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Many different data analytics tasks boil down to linear algebra primitives. In practice, for each different type of workload, data scientists use a particular specialised library. In this paper, we present Pilatus, a polymorphic iterative linear algebra la ...

A Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

Heather Christine Klug, Philipp Haller

The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...

Cross-Platform Language Design in Scala.js (Keynote)

Sébastien Jean R Doeraene

Have you ever wondered what is the secret sauce of Scala.js? What defines Scala.js, above all else, is the overarching will to make it cross-platform. A cross-platform language is both portable-most source code cross-compiles and behaves the same way on mu ...

Resistive random access memory based multiplexers and field programmable gate arrays

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Xifan Tang, Gain Kim, Edouard Giacomin

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) based multiplexers and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are provided. The RRAM-based multiplexers and FPGAs include a 4T1R programming structure to program the RRAMs. The programming structure includes two progra ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean R Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

The theoretical principles of the critical shear crack theory for punching shear failures and derivation of consistent closed-form design expressions

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

The mechanical model of the critical shear crack theory (CSCT) has been used in the past to investigate a number of shear-related problems, such as punching of slab–column connections with and without transverse reinforcement. In this paper, a discussion o ...

Verification by Reduction to Functional Programs

Régis William Blanc

In this thesis, we explore techniques for the development and verification of programs in a high-level, expressive, and safe programming language. Our programs can express problems over unbounded domains and over recursive and mutable data structures. We p ...

Higher-Order Subtyping with Type Intervals

Sandro Stucki

Modern, statically typed programming languages provide various abstraction facilities at both the term- and type-level. Common abstraction mechanisms for types include parametric polymorphism -- a hallmark of functional languages -- and subtyping -- which ...
