Wastrumentation: Portable WebAssembly Dynamic Analysis with Support for Intercession

Authors: Aäron Munsters, Angel Luis Scull Pupo, and Elisa Gonzalez Boix

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)


Abstract
Dynamic program analyses help in understanding a program’s runtime behavior and detect issues related to security, program comprehension, or profiling. Instrumentation platforms aid analysis developers by offering a high-level API to write the analysis, and inserting the analysis into the target program. However, current instrumentation platforms for WebAssembly (Wasm) restrict analysis portability because they require concrete runtime environments. Moreover, their analysis API only allows the development of analyses that observe the target program but cannot modify it. As a result, many popular dynamic analyses present for other languages, such as runtime hardening, virtual patching or runtime optimization, cannot currently be implemented for Wasm atop a dynamic analysis platform. Instead, they need to be built manually, which requires knowledge of low-level details of the Wasm’s semantics and instruction set, and how to safely manipulate it. This paper introduces Wastrumentation, the first dynamic analysis platform for WebAssembly that supports intercession. Our solution, based on source code instrumentation, weaves the analysis code directly into the target program code. Inlining the analysis into the target’s source code avoids dependencies on the runtime environment, making analyses portable across Wasm VMs. Moreover, it enables the implementation of analyses in any Wasm-compatible language. We evaluate our solution in two ways. First, we compare it against a state-of-the-art source code instrumentation platform using the WasmR3 benchmarks. The results show improved memory consumption and competitive performance overhead. Second, we develop an extensive portfolio of dynamic analyses, including novel analyses previously unattainable with source code instrumentation platforms, such as memoization, safe heap access, and the removal of NaN non-determinism.

Feature Interactions: The Next Generation (Dagstuhl Seminar 14281)

Authors: Sven Apel, Joanne M. Atlee, Luciano Baresi, and Pamela Zave

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 7 (2014)


Abstract
The feature-interaction problem is a major threat to modularity and impairs compositional development and reasoning. A feature interaction occurs when the behavior of one feature is affected by the presence of another feature; often it cannot be deduced easily from the behaviors of the individual features involved. The feature-interaction problem became a crisis in the telecommunications industry in the late 1980s, and researchers responded with formalisms that enable automatic detection of feature interactions, architectures that avoid classes of interactions, and techniques for resolving interactions at run-time. While this pioneering work was foundational and very successful, it is limited in the sense that it is based on assumptions that hold only for telecommunication systems. In the meantime, different notions of feature interactions have emerged in different communities, including Internet applications, service systems, adaptive systems, automotive systems, software product lines, requirements engineering, and computational biology. So, feature interactions are a much more general concept than investigated in the past in the context of telecommunication systems, but a classification, comparison, and generalization of the multitude of different views is missing. The feature-interaction problem is still of pivotal importance in various industrial applications, and the Dagstuhl seminar "Feature Interactions: The Next Generation" gathered researchers and practitioners from different areas of computer science and other disciplines with the goal to compare, discuss, and consolidate their views, experience, and domain-specific solutions to the feature-interaction problem.

Customizing Service Platforms (Dagstuhl Seminar 13171)

Authors: Luciano Baresi, Andreas Rummler, and Klaus Schmid

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 3, Issue 4 (2013)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13171 "Customizing Service Platforms". The aim of the seminar was to bring together researchers from different areas of academia and industry that are related to the seminar topic and typically do not intensively interact with each other. These communities are Product Line Engineering, Software Architecture, Service Engineering, and Cloud Computing. The ambition of the seminar was to work on the topic of "Customization of Service Platforms", which is related to all of these areas, in a synergistic and cooperative way to identify new research challenges and solution approaches. As part of the seminar, we identified a number of key areas which provided the basis for highly interactive working groups.

Abstract
The goal of this roadmap paper is to summarize the state of-the-art and identify research challenges when developing, deploying and managing self-adaptive software systems. Instead of dealing with a wide range of topics associated with the field, we focus on four essential topics of self-adaptation: design space for adaptive solutions, processes, from centralized to decentralized control, and practical run-time verification and validation. For each topic, we present an overview, suggest future directions, and focus on selected challenges. This paper complements and extends a previous roadmap on software engineering for self-adaptive systems published in 2009 covering a different set of topics, and reflecting in part on the previous paper. This roadmap is one of the many results of the Dagstuhl Seminar 10431 on Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems, which took place in October 2010.
