2007 conference paper

Delta execution for efficient state-space exploration of object-oriented programs

Proceedings of the ACM/SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis, ISSTA 2007, London, UK, July 9-12, 2007, 50–60.

By: M. d’Amorim*, S. Lauterburg* & D. Marinov*

TL;DR: Delta execution simultaneously operates on several states/heaps and shares the common parts across the executions, separately executing only the "deltas" where the executions differ, exploiting the fact that many execution paths in state-space exploration partially overlap.

2006 conference paper

An Empirical Comparison of Automated Generation and Classification Techniques for Object-Oriented Unit Testing

21st IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2006), 18-22 September 2006, Tokyo, Japan, 59–68.

TL;DR: A novel pair, model-based symbolic testing is developed, and the results show that the pairs are complementary (i.e., reveal faults differently), with their respective strengths and weaknesses. (via Semantic Scholar)

Checking and Correcting Behaviors of Java Programs at Runtime with Java-MOP

Electr. Notes Theor. Comput. Sci., 144(4), 3–20.

Marcelo D'Amorim

TL;DR: This paper presents Java-MOP, an MOP environment for developing robust Java applications that allows users to specify and monitor properties which can refer not only to the current program state, but also to the entire execution trace of a program, including past and future behaviors.

An Equational Specification for the Scheme Language

J. UCS, 11(7), 1327–1348.

TL;DR: The formal semantics of Scheme 3 is described as an equational theory in the Maude rewriting system and some performance results of the interpreter obtained for free from the executable specification are shown. (via Semantic Scholar)

Efficient Monitoring of omega-Languages

Computer Aided Verification, 17th International Conference, CAV 2005, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, July 6-10, 2005, Proceedings, 364–378.

TL;DR: It is shown how Buchi automata can be reduced in size and transformed into special, statistically optimal nondeterministic finite state machines, called binary transition tree finite state Machines (BTT-FSMs), which recognize precisely the minimal bad prefixes of the original ω-regular-language.

Event-based runtime verification of java programs

ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 30(4), 1–7.

TL;DR: The temporal logic HAWK and its supporting tool for runtime verification of Java programs are introduced and it is shown that monitoring on a state-by-state basis avoiding any need to store the input trace is achieved. (via Semantic Scholar)

A Formal Monitoring-Based Framework for Software Development and Analysis

Formal Methods and Software Engineering, 6th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods, ICFEM 2004, Seattle, WA, USA, November 8-12, 2004, Proceedings, 357–372.

Marcelo D'Amorim

TL;DR: A formal framework for software development and analysis is presented, which aims at reducing the gap between formal specification and implementation by integrating the two and allowing them together to form a system called monitoring-oriented programming (MOP). (via Semantic Scholar)
