Hi! I am a Professor II of Computer Science at Rutgers, The State
University of New Jersey. I joined the faculty in 1982 having
previously worked at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ in
the center which developed Unix and C.
Currently, my research focuses on static and dynamic program
analyses for object-oriented systems to use in practical software
tools. Of particular interest is how to pick an effective analysis for
a task at the right cost. Specific projects include: semantic change
impact analysis for Java systems, performance diagnosis for
frameworks-based Java systems using blended static/dynamic analysis,
and software testing using highly precise analyses to focus testing
efforts.

Research
Our research group is informally referred to as PROLANGS, the PROgramming
LANGuageS research group. Usually, we have a weekly
reading group on Thursday afternoons from 3:00-5:00pm in CoRE
Conference Room B, to present and discuss interesting conference and
journal papers, and sometimes to practice our research talks. We are
an enthusiastic Rutgers research group, with our own logo and lots of
esprit d'corps!
PROLANGS reading group will hold its first meeting for Spring 2008
on January 23, 2007 at noon.
I was an invited instructor at the
ACACES 2007: Third International Summer School on Advanced Computer
Architecture and Compilation for Embedded Systems, in
L'Aquila, Italy, in July 2007. I taught a course in program analyses
for object-oriented languages. My five lectures are available 2-up in
PDF format here: Lecture 1,
Lecture 2, Lecture 3, Lecture 4, Lecture 5, References. During September
2006, I delivered a lecture at the
International School on Software Engineering at the
University of Salerno, entitled "Practical Program Anlaysis for
Object-oriented Software Tools", available in PDF format in two parts
(1) and (2).
During Fall 2004, I was on sabbatical leave at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
and worked with
Gary Sevitsky of the Intelligent Applications
Analysis Group on ways
to combine static and dynamic program analyses. I also continued to
work with
Dr. Frank Tip, Manager, Program Analysis and Transformation Group,
on Change Impact Analysis.
In April 2003, I was a keynote speaker at the International Conference
on Compiler Construction, Warsaw, Poland.
My talk there on Dimensions of Precision in Reference Analysis of
Object-oriented Languages is available in PDF
with the animations as a 4.5Mb file
or
without the animations printed
2-up as a .5Mb file.
Current Grants
IBM Open Collaboration Award, Software Quality.
Detailed descriptions of the supported projects in PROLANGS,
Blended Program Analysis for Performance Diagnosis and
Semnatic Change Impact Analysis are available.
Understanding
the Performance of Framework-intensive Applications Through Combined
Static and Dynamic Analysis, IBM Faculty Award.
ITWF: Collaborative Research:
Increasing the Representation of Undergraduate Women and Minorities in
Computer Science NSF, PI:
Dr. Susan Horwitz. This grant is a collaboration between 8
universities including Purdue, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Georgia Tech, and
Loyola. The
Rutgers program, RESCS, has been running since 2005.
Teaching
During each of the academic years 2005-2008, I
will be leading the Rutgers
Emerging Scholars in Computer Science program funded by the
NSF-ITWF grant listed above. This program will recruit incoming
Rutgers students to take CS111 (or CS107) supplemented by a 2 hour a
week peer-led, group learning session, designed to enhance the
learning of concepts and skills. This program aims to attract new
students from currently underrepresented groups in Computer Science
and to build a learning community with them. We hope to retain these
students as Computer Science majors/minors and to acquaint them with
possible careers in this field.
During Fall 2007, I taught
CS314 and
198:500:05,
a Light Seminar in Program Analysis for Software Tools.
In Spring 2008, the light seminar will continue as
the Light Seminar on Research in Static and Dynamic Program Analyses
in Software Tools.
