Tools and frameworks for data abstraction in a performance context
As data science is impacting more and more fields and proving to be effective in a wide variety of applications, the importance of easy-to-understand, high-performance data science tools is growing. Tools tend to exhibit one of two general forms: composable or template-based. We have researched and …

Automating abstraction functions
Data abstraction has been the dominant structuring paradigm for programs for decades. The essence of a data abstraction is the abstraction function, which relates the concrete program representation to its abstract meaning. However, abstraction functions are not generally considered to be a part of …

An Object-Oriented Framework for File Systems
… that contains a few powerful persistent storage abstractions. The framework supports the characterization, design, and construction of both common file systems and experimental file systems. The object-oriented approach was chosen to exploit the techniques of data encapsulation, data abstraction, …

On-the-Fly Dynamic Dead Variable Analysis
… worse. As such, model checking research into data abstraction as a way of mitigating state explosion has become more and more important. Data abstractions aim to reduce the effect of large input ranges. This work focuses on a static program analysis technique called dead variable analysis. The …

A Multi-Language Goal-Tree Based Functional Test Planning System
… degree of language independence using ideas of data abstraction. It also presents an automated test-planning tool called the "Goal Tree System (GTS)", which provides an implementation of goal tree methodology and multi-language support ideas. We demonstrate the use of this tool by testing models …

A Framework for Data Quality for Synthetic Information
Data quality has been an area of increasing interest for researchers in recent years due to the rapid emergence of 'big data' processes and applications. In this work, the data quality problem is viewed from the standpoint of synthetic information. Based on the structure and complexity of synthetic …
