The motivation behind the work in very-high-level languages is to ease the programming task by pro-viding the programmer with a language containing primitives or abstractions suitable to his problem area. The programmer is then able to spend his effort in the right place; he concentrates on solving

Identification and quantification of cyanobacteria in water resources is the principal component of cyanotoxin monitoring programmes and can provide an effective early warning system for the development of potentially toxic blooms. Data on concentrations of total phosphate, nitrate and ammonia

Transactional memory (TM) promises to substantially reduce the difficulty of writing correct, efficient, and scalable concurrent programs. But “bounded ” and “best-effort” hardware TM proposals impose unreasonable constraints on programmers, while more flexible software TM implementations

applications. Session managers⎯interfaces that let people create and manage their meetings⎯are decoupled from groupware applications and are built by developers to accommodate the group’s working style. Example GroupKit applications in a variety of domains have been implemented with only modest effort.

code with modest programmer effort. Gadara is efficient because it performs expensive deadlock-avoidance computations offline rather than online. We have implemented Gadara for C/Pthreads programs. In benchmark tests, Gadara successfully avoids injected deadlock faults, imposes negligible to modest

technique called frequent itemset mining to efficiently extract implicit programming rules from large software code written in an industrial programming language such as C, requiring little effort from programmers and no prior knowledge of the software. Benefiting from frequent itemset mining, PR-Miner can

Programmers commonly reuse existing frameworks or libraries to reduce software development efforts. One common problem in reusing the existing frameworks or libraries is that the programmers know what type of object that they need, but do not know how to get that object with a specific method

Abstract. We present techniques that enable source-level debugging for multiple languages at the cost of only modest programming effort. The key idea is to avoid letting debugging requirements constrain the internal structure of the compiler. Constraints are minimized primarily by hiding the source

with no pre-installed application. Instead, users inject mobile agents that spread across nodes performing application-specific tasks. Each agent is autonomous, allowing multiple applications to share a network. Programming is simplified by allowing programmers to create agents using a high-level language

. We conducted a case study that shows that programmers could maintain and evolve software more efficiently with our plugin. These results demonstrate that modest programmer effort to create TLs together with automated program mining and analysis is a promising approach than can increase program
