Automated Program Analysis for Bounds on Resource Consumption
Resource Bound Analysis
Computer programs are consuming physical resources such as time, memory, power and bandwidth. To guarantee that a program only uses a limited amount of these resources, programmers need automatic tools which predict the resource consumption of a program. We investigate theoretical frameworks that allow to model and analyze the complexity of programs and build practical program analysis tools that allow to infer bounds on the resource consumption of the program under analysis.
Feedback Generation for Introductory Programming Problems
Providing feedback on programming assignments is an integral part of a class on introductory programming and requires substantial effort by the teaching personnel. This problem has become even more significant today with the increasing popularity of programming education. We investigate automated methods for generating feedback on introductory programming assignments.
Liveness Properties of Parameterized Systems
Parameterized systems consist of an arbitrary number of replications of the same system component. The challenge is to verify the correctness of such systems for all possible system sizes. Results on the decidability of such systems are scarce and have mostly been obtained for safety properties. We investigate the decidability of liveness properties and study how to obtain quantitative measures for the progress of the system.
