Expressive static typing disciplines are a powerful way to achieve high-quality software. However, the adoption cost of such techniques should not be under-estimated. Just like gradual typing allows for a smooth transition from…
Mutation testing is the state-of-the-art technique for assessing the fault detection capacity of a test suite. Unfortunately, a full mutation analysis is often prohibitively expensive. The CppCheck project for instance, demands a build time…
Neural Processes (NPs) are popular meta-learning methods for efficiently modelling predictive uncertainty. Recent state-of-the-art methods, however, leverage expensive attention mechanisms, limiting their applications, particularly in…
Static code analysis tools are designed to aid software developers to build better quality software in less time, by detecting defects early in the software development life cycle. Even the most experienced developer regularly introduces…
Quantum computers have advanced rapidly in qubit count and gate fidelity. However, large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing still relies on quantum error correction code (QECC) to suppress noise. Manually or experimentally verifying the…
The introduction of Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) coprocessors opened up new possibilities in development of highly parallel applications. The familiarity and flexibility of the architecture together with compiler support integrated into the Intel…
Execution of concurrent programs implies frequent switching between different thread contexts. This property perplexes analyzing and reasoning about concurrent programs. Trace simplification is a technique that aims at alleviating this…
We introduce a denotational semantic framework for shared-memory concurrent programs in a C11-style memory model. This denotational approach is an alternative to techniques based on "execution graphs" and axiomatizations, and it allows for…
We developed a portable code for dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. This Fortran program named CAMUS has a couple of notable features. One is the omission of constructing the so-called neighboring particles list, providing a…
A number of high-level languages and libraries have been proposed that offer novel and simple to use abstractions for concurrent, asynchronous, and distributed programming. The execution models that realise them, however, often change over…
In the realm of patent document analysis, assessing semantic similarity between phrases presents a significant challenge, notably amplifying the inherent complexities of Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) research. Firstly, this study…
Classical program analysis techniques, such as abstract interpretation and symbolic execution, are essential for ensuring software correctness, optimizing performance, and enabling compiler optimizations. However, these techniques face…
Process Execution Engines are a vital part of Business Process Management (BPM) and Manufacturing Orchestration Management (MOM), as they allow the business or manufacturing logic (expressed in a graphical notation such as BPMN) to be…
CodeRunner is a free open-source Moodle plugin for automatically marking student code. We describe our experience using CodeRunner for summative assessment in our first year undergraduate programming curriculum at Coventry University. We…
Attention mechanisms, particularly softmax attention, have been instrumental in the success of transformer-based models such as GPT. However, the quadratic memory complexity of softmax attention with respect to sequence length poses…
Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes can achieve high encoding rates and good code distance scaling, providing a promising route to low-overhead fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, the long-range connectivity required to…
Threads and events are two common abstractions for writing concurrent programs. Because threads are often more convenient, but events more efficient, it is natural to want to translate the former into the latter. However, whereas there are…
Prompt tuning offers a parameter-efficient way to adapt large pre-trained language models to new tasks, but most existing approaches are designed for single-task settings, failing to share knowledge across related tasks. We propose…
Test automation requires automated oracles to assess test outputs. For cyber physical systems (CPS), oracles, in addition to be automated, should ensure some key objectives: (i) they should check test outputs in an online manner to stop…
In our times, when the world is increasingly becoming more dependent on software programs, writing bug-free, correct programs is crucial. Program verification based on formal methods can guarantee this by detecting run-time errors in…
