  • Variational Satisfiability Solving

    Creator:
    Young, Jeffrey M.
    Abstract:
    Over the last two decades, satisfiability and satisfiability-modulo theory (SAT/SMT) solvers have grown powerful enough to be general purpose reasoning engines throughout software engineering and computer science. However, most practical use cases of SAT/SMT solvers require not just solving a single SAT/SMT problem, but solving sets of related SAT/SMT problems....

  • A Formal Foundation for Variational Programming Using the Choice Calculus

    Creator:
    Hubbard, Spencer
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we present semantic equivalence rules for an extension of the choice calculus and sound operations for an implementation of variational lists. The choice calculus is a calculus for describing variation and the formula choice calculus is an extension with formulas. We prove semantic equivalence rules for the...

  • Integrating Side Effects in Variational Programs Using Algebraic Effects

    Creator:
    Alkubaish, Ghadeer
    Abstract:
    Variational programming supports efficiently executing many related programs at once by encoding all of the programs in one "variational program" that captures the differences among them statically and explicitly. An open problem in variational programming is how to handle side effects—if two program variants perform different side effects, we cannot...

  • Imperative Programming with Variational Effects

    Creator:
    Grasley, Alexander B.
    Abstract:
    Variation is a commonly encountered element of modern software systems. Recent research into variation has led to increasing interest in the development of variational programming languages and corresponding variational models of execution. Variational imperative languages pose a particular challenge due to the complex interactions between side effects and variation. The...

  • View-based editing of variational code

    Creator:
    Van de Wetering, Miles
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the merits of providing users variational views when editing variational code. I provide a plugin for the popular Atom Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which replaces #ifdef annotations commonly used by the C PreProcessor (CPP) with colored backgrounds, thus reducing code clutter and attempting to help programmers quickly...

  • Application of the Variational Database Management System to Schema Evolution and Software Product Lines

    Creator:
    Li, Qiaoran
    Abstract:
    As a general solution to the problem of managing structural and content variability in relational databases, in previous work we have introduced the Variational Database Management System (VDBMS). VDBMS consists of a representation of a variational database (VDB) and a corresponding typed query language (v-query). However, since this is a...

  • Theory and Implementation of a Variational Database Management System

    Creator:
    Ataei, Parisa S.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present the variational database management system, a formal framework and its implementation for representing variation in relational databases and managing variational information needs. A variational database is intended to support any kind of variation in a database. Specific kinds of variation in databases have already been...

  • Formal Verification of the Variational Database Management System

    Creator:
    Khan, Fariba
    Abstract:
    Variation in data is abundant and ubiquitous in real-world applications. Managing variation in databases is, however, difficult and has been extensively studied by the database community. Schema evolution, data integration, and database versioning are examples of well-studied forms of database variation with effective context-specific solutions. However, variation appears in different...

  • The Ownership Monad

    Creator:
    McGirr, Michael G.
    Abstract:
    The Rust programming language is a systems programming language with a strong static type system. A central feature of Rust’s type system is its unique concept of “ownership”, which enables Rust to give a user safe, low-level control over resources without the overhead of garbage collection. In Haskell, most data...

  • 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...
