We have designed and implemented an interprocedural program analyzer generator, called system Z. Our goal is to automate the generation and management of semantics-based interprocedural program analysis for a wide range of target languages.

Paper discusses some issues related to the utility of finite games for early formal methods teaching and for validation of automatic tools which implement formal methods. In particular, some experience with (1) undergraduate teaching model checking via finite games, (2) solving game-based constraints via model checking, (3) testing model checkers against game test suits is presented. Basic ideas are illustrated by a model checking based solution for a complicated puzzle how to identify a unique

Designing a program analysis (for use in optimizing compilers) is a time-consuming, complicated process because it involves many parameters. In particular, one must carefully measure the accuracy of the analysis against its cost. To reach an acceptable cost-accuracy balance the designer must repeatedly implement the analysis, measure its behavior, and alter its design. In this thesis we present a software system called system Z1, by which one can quickly specify a program analysis, obtain automa

Some 10 years ago, Harper illustrated the powerful method of proof-directed debugging for developing programs with an article in this journal. Unfortunately, his example uses both higher-order functions and continuation-passing style, which is too difficult for students in an introductory programming course. In this pearl, we present a first-order version of Harper's example and demonstrate that it is easy to transform the final version into an efficient state machine. Our new version convinces
