  • Design and Application of Variational Representations

    Creator:
    Smeltzer, Karl J.
    Abstract:
    Variability is an important and widely studied topic across domains such as version control, software product lines, and metaprogramming. This dissertation presents an investigation into the process of systematically adding variability to data structures and programs, leading to guidelines for variational data structures and implications for programs that create, manipulate,...

  • Domain-specific language support for experimental game theory

    Creator:
    Walkingshaw, Eric
    Abstract:
    Experimental game theory is the use of game theoretic abstractions—games, players, and strategies—in experiments and simulations. It is often used in cases where traditional, analytical game theory fails or is difficult to apply. This thesis collects three previously published papers that provide domain-specific language (DSL) support for defining and executing...

  • A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

    Creator:
    Kollmansberger, Steven
    Abstract:
    Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

  • #ifdef Confirmed Harmful - Promoting Understandable Software Variation

    Creator:
    Le, Duc
    Abstract:
    Maintaining variation in software is a difficult problem that poses serious challenges for the understanding and editing of software artifacts. Although the C preprocessor (CPP) is often the default tool used to introduce variability to software, because of its simplicity and flexibility, it is infamous for its obtrusive syntax and...

  • Structured representation of composite software changes

    Creator:
    Chabra, Aarti
    Abstract:
    In a software development cycle, programs go through many iterations. Identifying and understanding program changes is a tedious but necessary task for programmers, especially when software is developed in a collaborative environment. Existing tools used by the programmers either lack in finding the structural differences, or report the differences as...
