  • A Language for Querying Source Code Repositories

    Creator:
    Kumar, Deepthi S.
    Abstract:
    The history of a software project plays a vital role in the software development process. Version control systems enable users of a software repository to look at the evolution of the source code, and see the changes that led to newer versions. Currently, version control systems provide commands that can...

  • The choice calculus : a formal language of variation

    Creator:
    Walkingshaw, Eric
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I present the choice calculus, a formal language for representing variation in software and other structured artifacts. The choice calculus is intended to support variation research in a way similar to the lambda calculus in programming language research. Specifically, it provides a simple formal basis for presenting,...

  • 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...

  • Spreadsheet Explanation Through Table Abstraction

    Creator:
    Dan, Mihai
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are a pervasive technology throughout personal and industrial use. Often times, the user is not the author, contributing to a lack of understanding of the purpose and functionality of a spreadsheet. Furthermore, the lack of understanding is a major reason for mistakes in the use and maintenance of spreadsheets....

  • Playing by the Rules: A Formal Specification of BoGL’s Loops and Type System

    Creator:
    Grejuc, Alex
    Abstract:
    BoGL is a programming language created for the purpose of computer science education that is specific to the domain of board games. Although there is a language grammar and an existing implementation that is currently used by students, a complete and formal language standard does not yet exist. In the...

  • Using Change Representations to Analyze Properties of Variational Software

    Creator:
    Wang, Xiangyu
    Abstract:
    Appropriate representations of variational software simplify the analysis of their properties.This thesis proposes tailored representations of two kinds variational softwares: difference files of merge commits in Git and feature models. For the former, we use the Choice Edit Model, which is based on the choice calculus, to represent changes introduced...

  • Variational Typing and Its Applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Sheng
    Abstract:
    The study of variational typing originated from the problem of type inference for variational programs, which encode numerous different but related plain programs. In this dissertation, I present a sound and complete type inference algorithm for inferring types of all plain programs encoded in variational programs. The proposed algorithm runs...

  • 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,...

  • Executable semantics for PLEXIL : simulating a task-scheduling language in Haskell

    Creator:
    Strauss, Paul J.
    Abstract:
    An interdisciplinary study into the theory of design decisions has yielded a model for tracking design changes in hardware/software systems, but it still needs to be applied to a larger system to test its efficiency at tracking important data. This thesis creates an implementation of PLEXIL, a language in development...

  • 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...
