This course adresses students interested in software quality. It aim is to show how software software quality assesment, detection of emerging problems and automating correction of identified problems can be built on the basis of logic programming.
Since this is an advanced course, we will not spend too much time on logic programming foundations – just a few short sessions that should make you familiar with the used development environment, help you refresh prior knowledge and make sure that all course participants have a comparable starting level. If you have no background in logic programming you will need to invest more time in this initial phase.
The course will lay the foundations for a logic programming representation of software systems and will introduce JTransformer as a tool that automatically generates such a representation for Java programs. With JTransformer, we will implement various software quality analyses. These analyses will be the use cases that motivate the different advanced logic programming techniques that will gradually be introduced (for instance, metaprogramming, abstract interpretation and partial evaluation).
Finally we will learn about the approach of classic Prolog systems to program transformation, analyse its risks and embrace the alternative concept of “conditional transformations” implemented in the CTC and JTransformer.
Summarizing, you will learn new things in three different areas:
