Interprocedural Slicing Using Dependence Graphs

by Susan Horwitz, Thomas Reps, David Binkley - ACM TRANSACTIONS ON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND SYSTEMS , 1990
"... ... This paper concerns the problem of interprocedural slicing---generating a slice of an entire program, where the slice crosses the boundaries of procedure calls. To solve this problem, we introduce a new kind of graph to represent programs, called a system dependence graph, which extends previou ..."

Interprocedural dataflow analysis via graph reachability

by Thomas Reps, Susan Horwitz, Mooly Sagiv , 1994
"... The paper shows how a large class of interprocedural dataflow-analysis problems can be solved precisely in poly-nomial time by transforming them into a special kind of graph-reachability problem. The only restrictions are that the set of dataflow facts must be a finite set, and that the dataflow fun ..."

LLVM: A compilation framework for lifelong program analysis & transformation

by Chris Lattner, Vikram Adve , 2004
"... ... a compiler framework designed to support transparent, lifelong program analysis and transformation for arbitrary programs, by providing high-level information to compiler transformations at compile-time, link-time, run-time, and in idle time between runs. LLVM defines a common, low-level code re ..."

Context-Sensitive Interprocedural Points-to Analysis in the Presence of Function Pointers

by Maryam Emami, Rakesh Ghiya, Laurie J. Hendren , 1994
"... This paper reports on the design, implementation, and empirical results of a new method for dealing with the aliasing problem in C. The method is based on approximating the points-to relationships between accessible stack locations, and can be used to generate alias pairs, or used directly for other ..."

A Safe Approximate Algorithm for Interprocedural Pointer Aliasing

by William Landi, Barbara G. Ryder , 1992
"... Aliasing occurs at some program point during execution when two or more names exist for the same location. In a language which allows pointers, the problem of determining the set of pairs of names at a program point which may refer to the same location during program execution is NP-hard. We present ..."

Where the REALLY Hard Problems Are

by Peter Cheeseman, Bob Kanefsky, William M. Taylor - IN J. MYLOPOULOS AND R. REITER (EDS.), PROCEEDINGS OF 12TH INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON AI (IJCAI-91),VOLUME 1 , 1991
"... It is well known that for many NP-complete problems, such as K-Sat, etc., typical cases are easy to solve; so that computationally hard cases must be rare (assuming P != NP). This paper shows that NP-complete problems can be summarized by at least one "order parameter", and that the hard p ..."

The Extended Linear Complementarity Problem

by O. L. Mangasarian, Jong-Shi Pang , 1993
"... We consider an extension of the horizontal linear complementarity problem, which we call the extended linear complementarity problem (XLCP). With the aid of a natural bilinear program, we establish various properties of this extended complementarity problem; these include the convexity of the biline ..."

The Symbol Grounding Problem

by Stevan Harnad , 1990
"... There has been much discussion recently about the scope and limits of purely symbolic models of the mind and about the proper role of connectionism in cognitive modeling. This paper describes the "symbol grounding problem": How can the semantic interpretation of a formal symbol system be m ..."

The Vocabulary Problem in Human-System Communication

by G. W. Furnas, T. K. Landauer, L. M. Gomez, S. T. Dumais - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1987
"... In almost all computer applications, users must enter correct words for the desired objects or actions. For success without extensive training, or in first-tries for new targets, the system must recognize terms that will be chosen spontaneously. We studied spontaneous word choice for objects in five ..."

. For example, the popular approach in which access is via one designer's favorite single word will result in 80-90 percent failure rates in many common situations. An optimal strategy, unlimited aliasing, is derived and shown to be capable of several-fold improvements.

Global Optimization with Polynomials and the Problem of Moments

by Jean B. Lasserre - SIAM Journal on Optimization , 2001
"... We consider the problem of finding the unconstrained global minimum of a realvalued polynomial p(x) : R R, as well as the global minimum of p(x), in a compact set K defined by polynomial inequalities. It is shown that this problem reduces to solving an (often finite) sequence of convex linear mat ..."
