+ programs in terms of their input data size. This paper
+ presents, to the best of our knowledge, the first
+ approach to the automatic cost analysis of
+ object-oriented bytecode programs. In languages such as
+ Java and C#, analyzing bytecode has a much wider
+ application area than analyzing source code since the
+ latter is often not available. Cost analysis in this
+ context has to consider, among others, dynamic dispatch,
+ jumps, the operand stack, and the heap. Our method takes
+ a bytecode program and a cost model specifying the
+ resource of interest, and generates cost relations which
+ approximate the execution cost of the program with
+ respect to such resource. We report on COSTA, an
+ implementation for Java bytecode which can obtain upper
+ bounds on cost for a large class of programs and
+ complexity classes. Our basic techniques can be directly
+ applied to infer cost relations for other
+ object-oriented imperative languages, not necessarily in
+ bytecode form."

+ analysis in the generalized template domain can be
+ performed by dualizing the join, post-condition and
+ widening operations. We also investigate the special
+ case of template polyhedra wherein each bilinear form
+ has at most two parameters. For this domain, we use the
+ special properties of two dimensional polyhedra and
+ techniques from fractional linear programming to derive
+ domain operations that can be implemented in polynomial

+ Abstract = "The polyhedral model provides techniques to optimize
+ Static Control Programs (SCoP) using some complex
+ transforma- tions which improve data-locality and which
+ can exhibit parallelism. These advanced
+ transformations are now available in both GCC and
+ LLVM. In this paper, we focus on the cor- rectness of
+ these transformations and in particular on the problem
+ of integer overflows. Indeed, the strength of the
+ polyhedral model is to produce an abstract mathematical
+ representation of a loop nest which allows high-level
+ trans- formations. But this abstract representation is
+ valid only when we ignore the fact that our integers are
+ only machine integers. In this paper, we present a
+ method to deal with this problem of mismatch between the
+ mathematical and concrete representations of loop
+ nests. We assume the exis- tence of polyhedral
+ optimization transformations which are proved to be
+ correct in a world without overflows and we provide a
+ self-verifying compilation function. Rather than
+ verifying the correctness of this function, we use an
+ approach based on a validator, which is a tool that is
+ run by the com- piler after the transformation itself
+ and which confirms that the code produced is equivalent
+ to the original code. As we aim at the formal proof of
+ the validator we implement this validator using the Coq
+ proof assistant as a programming language [4]."

+ Abstract = "Linear invariants are essential in many optimization and
+ verification tasks. The domain of convex polyhedra (sets
+ of linear inequalities) has the potential to infer all
+ linear relationships. Yet, it is rarely applied to
+ larger problems due to the join operation whose most
+ precise result is given by the convex hull of two
+ polyhedra which, in turn, may be of exponential
+ size. Recently, Sankaranarayanan et al. proposed an
+ operation called inversion join to efficiently
+ approximate the convex hull. While their proposal has an
+ ad-hoc flavour, we show that it is quite principled and,
+ indeed, complete for planar polyhedra and, for general
+ polyhedra, complete on over 70% of our benchmarks."
