We present a framework for efficiently performing Monte Carlo wave-function simulations in cavity QED with moving particles. It relies heavily on the object-oriented programming paradigm as realised in C++, and is extensible and applicable…

Recent progress in GUI agents has substantially improved visual grounding, yet robust planning remains challenging, particularly when the environment deviates from a canonical initial state. In real applications, users often invoke…

This report provides an (updated) overview of {\sl Grafalgo}, an open-source library of graph algorithms and the data structures used to implement them. The programs in this library were originally written to support a graduate class in…

Dynamic memory management requires special attention in programming. It should be fast and secure at the same time. This paper proposes a new randomized dynamic memory management algorithm designed to meet these requirements. Randomization…

We describe a new C++ library for multiprecision arithmetic for numbers in the order of 100--500 bits, i.e., representable with just a few limbs. The library is written in "optimizing-compiler-friendly" C++, with an emphasis on the use of…

The object oriented programming paradigm is widely used in science and engineering. Many open and commercial libraries are written in C++ and increasingly provide bindings to Python, which is much easier to learn, but still partly…

Consensus is an often occurring problem in concurrent and distributed programming. We present a programming language with simple semantics and build-in support for consensus in the form of communicating transactions. We motivate the need…

Concurrently coupled numerical simulations using heterogeneous solvers are powerful tools for modeling multiscale phenomena. However, major modifications to existing codes are often required to enable such simulations, posing significant…

The availability of interaction devices has raised interest in techniques to support the user interface (UI). A UI specification describes the functions that a system provides to its users by capturing the interface details and includes…

Developing IoT, Data Computing and Cloud Computing software requires different programming skills and different programming languages. This cause a problem for many companies and researchers that need to hires many programmers to develop a…

Graphical User Interface (GUI) tasks are vital for automating workflows such as software testing, user interface navigation. For users, the GUI is the most intuitive platform for interacting with a computer. Previous work identified a key…

We propose Chunks and Tasks, a parallel programming model built on abstractions for both data and work. The application programmer specifies how data and work can be split into smaller pieces, chunks and tasks, respectively. The Chunks and…

This paper presents Warrior1, a tool that detects performance anti-patterns in C++ libraries. Many programs are slowed down by many small inefficiencies. Large-scale C++ applications are large, complex, and developed by large groups of…

Coyote C++ is an automated testing tool that uses a sophisticated concolic-execution-based approach to realize fully automated unit testing for C and C++. While concolic testing has proven effective for languages such as C and Java, tools…

Human written source code in imperative programming languages exhibits typical patterns for variable use such as flags, loop iterators, counters, indices, bitvectors etc. Although it is widely understood by practitioners that these variable…

Graphical User Interface (GUI) automation holds significant promise for enhancing human productivity by assisting with computer tasks. Existing task formulations primarily focus on simple tasks that can be specified by a single,…

Generative AI models offer many possibilities for text creation and transformation. Current graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for prompting them lack support for iterative exploration, as they do not represent prompts as actionable interface…

We give an introduction to the C++ library GiNaC, which extends the C++ language by new objects and methods for the representation and manipulation of arbitrary symbolic expressions.

Most programming languages were designed before the age of web. This matters because the web changes many assumptions that typed functional language designers take for granted. For example, programs do not run in a closed world, but must…

This paper has a practical aim. For a long time, implementations of pseudorandom number generators in standard libraries of programming languages had poor quality. The situation started to improve only recently. Up to now, a large number of…
