Transactional Memory
The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea of incorporating transactions into the programming model used to write parallel programs. This approach, known as transactional memory, offers an alternative, and hopefully better, way to coordinate concurrent threads. The ACI (atomicity, consistency, isolation) properties of transactions provide a foundation to ensure that con-current reads and writes of shared data do not produce inconsistent or incorrect results. At a higher level, a computation wrapped in a transaction executes atomically---either it completes successfully and commits its result in its entirety or it aborts. In addition, isolation ensures the transaction...
First in the Field
First in the Field: Breaking Ground in Computer Science at Purdue University chronicles the history and development of the first computer science department established at a university in the United States. The backdrop for this groundbreaking academic achievement is Purdue in the 1950s when mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, and scientists from various departments were searching for faster and more efficient ways to conduct their research. These were fertile times, as recognized by Purdue’s President Frederick L. Hovde, whose support of what was to become the first “university-centered” computer center in America laid the foundation for the nation’s first department of comput...
Mining Software Specifications
An emerging topic in software engineering and data mining, specification mining tackles software maintenance and reliability issues that cost economies billions of dollars each year. The first unified reference on the subject, Mining Software Specifications: Methodologies and Applications describes recent approaches for mining specifications of sof

Proceedings
Runtime Verification
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Runtime Verification, RV 2012, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in September 2012. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers and 2 tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers address a wide range of specification languages and formalisms for traces, specification mining, program instrumentation, monitor construction techniques, logging, recording, and replay, fault detection, localization, recovery and repair, program steering and adaptation, metrics and statistical information gathering, combination of static and dynamic analyses and program execution visualization.
Randomization Methods in Algorithm Design
This volume is based on proceedings held during the DIMACS workshop on Randomization Methods in Algorithm Design in December 1997 at Princeton. The workshop was part of the DIMACS Special Year on Discrete Probability. It served as an interdisciplinary research workshop that brought together a mix of leading theorists, algorithmists and practitioners working in the theory and implementation aspects of algorithms involving randomization. Randomization has played an important role in the design of both sequential and parallel algorithms. The last decade has witnessed tremendous growth in the area of randomized algorithms. During this period, randomized algorithms went from being a tool in compu...
Programming Languages and Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2013, held as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2013, which took place in Rome, Italy, in March 2013. The 31 papers, presented together with a full-length invited talk, were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 full submissions. The contributions have been organized according to ten topical sections on programming techniques; programming tools; separation logic; gradual typing; shared-memory concurrency and verification; process calculi; taming concurrency; model checking and verification; weak-memory concurrency and verification; and types, inference, and analysis.
FM 2006: Formal Methods
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2006, held in Hamilton, Canada, August 2006. The book presents 36 revised full papers together with 2 invited contributions and extended abstracts of 7 invited industrial presentations, organized in topical sections on interactive verification, formal modelling of systems, real time, industrial experience, specification and refinement, programming languages, algebra, formal modelling of systems, and more.

Programming Languages and Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2012, held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012, in March/April 2012. The 28 full papers, presented together with one full length invited talk, were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. Papers were invited on all aspects of programming language research, including: programming paradigms and styles, methods and tools to write and specify programs and languages, methods and tools for reasoning about programs, methods and tools for implementation, and concurrency and distribution.
