The automated and semi-automated analysis of source code has remained a topic of
intense research for more than thirty years. During this period, algorithms and techniques for …

Program comprehension is an important activity in software maintenance, as software must
be sufficiently understood before it can be properly modified. The study of a program's …

Traditional profilers identify where a program spends most of its resources. They do not
provide information about why the program spends those resources or about how resource …

Applications often have large runtime memory requirements. In some cases, large memory
footprint helps accomplish an important functional, performance, or engineering …

Understanding the data structures in a program is crucial to understanding how the program
works, or why it doesn't work. Inspecting the code that implements the data structures …

Understanding the behaviors of a software system is very important for performing daily
system maintenance tasks. In practice, one way to gain knowledge about the runtime …

Person reidentification is to identify the persons observed in nonoverlapping camera
networks. Most existing methods usually extract features from the red, green, and blue color …

Traversal is one of the most fundamental operations on data structures, in which an
algorithm systematically visits some or all of the data items of a data structure. We propose a …

Modern programming environments provide extensive support for inspecting, analyzing, and
testing programs based on the algorithmic structure of a program. Unfortunately, support for …

Analyzing heap dumps containing complex dynamic data structures is essential when
debugging modern software systems. However, existing tools for visualizing memory graphs …
