Characterization and Identification of Programming Languages

Authors: Júlio Alves, Alvaro Costa Neto, Maria João Varanda Pereira, and Pedro Rangel Henriques

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 113, 12th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2023)


Abstract
This paper presents and discusses a research work whose main goal is to identify which characteristics influence the recognition and identification, by a programmer, of a programming language, specifically analysing a program source code and its linguistic style. In other words, the study that is described aims at answering the following questions: which grammatical elements - including lexical, syntactic, and semantic details - contribute the most for the characterization of a language? How many structural elements of a language may be modified without losing its identity? The long term objective of such research is to acquire new insights on the factors that can lead language engineers to design new programming languages that reduce the cognitive load of both learners and programmers. To elaborate on that subject, the paper starts with a brief explanation of programming languages fundamentals. Then, a list of the main syntactic characteristics of a set of programming languages, chosen for the study, is presented. Those characteristics outcome from the analysis we carried on at first phase of our project. To go deeper on the investigation we decided to collect and analyze the opinion of other programmers. So, the design of a survey to address that task is discussed. The answers obtained from the application of the questionnaire are analysed to present an overall picture of programming languages characteristics and their relative influence to their identification from the programmers’ perspective.

Automatic Generation of Attacker Contracts in Solidity

Authors: Ignacio Ballesteros, Clara Benac-Earle, Luis Eduardo Bueso de Barrio, Lars-Åke Fredlund, Ángel Herranz, and Julio Mariño

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 105, 4th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Blockchains (FMBC 2022)


Abstract
Smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain continue to suffer from well-published problems. A particular example is the well-known smart contract reentrancy vulnerability, which continues to be exploited. In this article, we present preliminary work on a method which, given a smart contract that may be vulnerable to such a reentrancy attack, proceeds to attempt to automatically derive an "attacker" contract which can be used to successfully attack the vulnerable contract. The method uses property-based testing to generate, semi-randomly, large numbers of potential attacker contracts, and then proceeds to check whether any of them is a successful attacker. The method is illustrated using a case study where an attack is derived for a vulnerable contract.

A New Framework for Kernelization Lower Bounds: The Case of Maximum Minimal Vertex Cover

Authors: Júlio Araújo, Marin Bougeret, Victor Campos, and Ignasi Sau

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 214, 16th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2021)


Abstract
In the Maximum Minimal Vertex Cover (MMVC) problem, we are given a graph G and a positive integer k, and the objective is to decide whether G contains a minimal vertex cover of size at least k. Motivated by the kernelization of MMVC with parameter k, our main contribution is to introduce a simple general framework to obtain lower bounds on the degrees of a certain type of polynomial kernels for vertex-optimization problems, which we call {lop-kernels}. Informally, this type of kernels is required to preserve large optimal solutions in the reduced instance, and captures the vast majority of existing kernels in the literature. As a consequence of this framework, we show that the trivial quadratic kernel for MMVC is essentially optimal, answering a question of Boria et al. [Discret. Appl. Math. 2015], and that the known cubic kernel for Maximum Minimal Feedback Vertex Set is also essentially optimal. On the positive side, given the (plausible) non-existence of subquadratic kernels for MMVC on general graphs, we provide subquadratic kernels on H-free graphs for several graphs H, such as the bull, the paw, or the complete graphs, by making use of the Erdős-Hajnal property in order to find an appropriate decomposition. Finally, we prove that MMVC does not admit polynomial kernels parameterized by the size of a minimum vertex cover of the input graph, even on bipartite graphs, unless NP ⊆ coNP / poly. This indicates that parameters smaller than the solution size are unlike to yield polynomial kernels for MMVC.

Dual Parameterization of Weighted Coloring

Authors: Júlio Araújo, Victor A. Campos, Carlos Vinícius G. C. Lima, Vinícius Fernandes dos Santos, Ignasi Sau, and Ana Silva

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 115, 13th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2018)


Abstract
Given a graph G, a proper k-coloring of G is a partition c = (S_i)_{i in [1,k]} of V(G) into k stable sets S_1,..., S_k. Given a weight function w: V(G) -> R^+, the weight of a color S_i is defined as w(i) = max_{v in S_i} w(v) and the weight of a coloring c as w(c) = sum_{i=1}^{k} w(i). Guan and Zhu [Inf. Process. Lett., 1997] defined the weighted chromatic number of a pair (G,w), denoted by sigma(G,w), as the minimum weight of a proper coloring of G. The problem of determining sigma(G,w) has received considerable attention during the last years, and has been proved to be notoriously hard: for instance, it is NP-hard on split graphs, unsolvable on n-vertex trees in time n^{o(log n)} unless the ETH fails, and W[1]-hard on forests parameterized by the size of a largest tree. We focus on the so-called dual parameterization of the problem: given a vertex-weighted graph (G,w) and an integer k, is sigma(G,w) <= sum_{v in V(G)} w(v) - k? This parameterization has been recently considered by Escoffier [WG, 2016], who provided an FPT algorithm running in time 2^{O(k log k)} * n^{O(1)}, and asked which kernel size can be achieved for the problem. We provide an FPT algorithm running in time 9^k * n^{O(1)}, and prove that no algorithm in time 2^{o(k)} * n^{O(1)} exists under the ETH. On the other hand, we present a kernel with at most (2^{k-1}+1) (k-1) vertices, and rule out the existence of polynomial kernels unless NP subseteq coNP/poly, even on split graphs with only two different weights. Finally, we identify some classes of graphs on which the problem admits a polynomial kernel, in particular interval graphs and subclasses of split graphs, and in the latter case we present lower bounds on the degrees of the polynomials.

Weighted Coloring in Trees

Authors: Julio Araujo, Nicolas Nisse, and Stéphane Pérennes

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 25, 31st International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2014)


Abstract
A proper coloring of a graph is a partition of its vertex set into stable sets, where each part corresponds to a color. For a vertex-weighted graph, the weight of a color is the maximum weight of its vertices. The weight of a coloring is the sum of the weights of its colors. Guan and Zhu (1997) defined the weighted chromatic number of a vertex-weighted graph G as the smallest weight of a proper coloring of G. If vertices of a graph have weight 1, its weighted chromatic number coincides with its chromatic number. Thus, the problem of computing the weighted chromatic number, a.k.a. Max Coloring Problem, is NP-hard in general graphs. It remains NP-hard in some graph classes as bipartite graphs. Approximation algorithms have been designed in several graph classes, in particular, there exists a PTAS for trees. Surprisingly, the time-complexity of computing this parameter in trees is still open. The Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) states that 3-SAT cannot be solved in sub-exponential time. We show that, assuming ETH, the best algorithm to compute the weighted chromatic number of n-node trees has time-complexity n O(log(n)). Our result mainly relies on proving that, when computing an optimal proper weighted coloring of a graph G, it is hard to combine colorings of its connected components.

CB-POCL: A Choice-Based Algorithm for Character Personality in Planning-based Narrative Generation

Authors: Julio César Bahamón and R. Michael Young

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 32, 2013 Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative


Abstract
The quality and believability of a story can be significantly enhanced by the presence of compelling characters. Characters can be made more compelling by the portrayal of a distinguishable personality. This paper presents an algorithm that formalizes an approach previously described for the incorporation of character personality in narrative that is automatically generated. The approach is based on a computational model that operationalizes personality as behavior that results from the choices made by characters in the course of a story. This operationalization is based on the Big Five personality structure and results from behavioral psychology studies that link behavior to personality traits.

Synthesis of Logic Programs from Object-Oriented Formal Specifications

Authors: Ángel Herranz and Julio Mariño

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)


Abstract
Early validation of requirements is crucial for the rigorous development of software. Without it, even the most formal of the methodologies will produce the wrong outcome. One successful approach, popularised by some of the so-called lightweight formal methods, consists in generating (finite, small) models of the specifications. Another possibility is to build a running prototype from those specifications. In this paper we show how to obtain executable prototypes from formal specifications written in an object oriented notation by translating them into logic programs. This has some advantages over other lightweight methodologies. For instance, we recover the possibility of dealing with recursive data types as specifications that use them often lack finite models.
