As computation scales downward in area, the limitations imposed by the batteries required
to power that computation become more pronounced. Thus, many future devices will forgo …

Touchscreen-based devices such as smartphones and tablets are gaining popularity, but
their rich input capabilities pose new development and testing complications. To alleviate …

Deterministic replay is a type of emerging technique dedicated to providing deterministic
executions of computer programs in the presence of nondeterministic factors. The …

Smartphone usage has been continuously increasing in recent years. Moreover,
smartphones are often used for privacy-sensitive tasks, becoming highly valuable targets for …

Computer systems often fail due to many factors such as software bugs or administrator
errors. Diagnosing such production run failures is an important but challenging task since it …

Diagnosing software failures in the field is notoriously difficult, in part due to the fundamental
complexity of troubleshooting any complex software system, but further exacerbated by the …

The processors that drive embedded systems are getting smaller; meanwhile, the batteries
used to provide power to those systems have stagnated. If we are to realize the dream of …

Concurrency bugs are among the most difficult to test and diagnose of all software bugs. The
multicore technology trend worsens this problem. Most previous concurrency bug detection …

We consider the problem of designing a scene-specific pedestrian detector in a scenario
where we have zero instances of real pedestrian data (ie, no labeled real data or …

Analysis of parallel programs is hard mainly because their behavior changes from run to run.
We present an execution capture and deterministic replay system that enables repeatable …
