Programming Languages and Systems

The Programming Languages and Systems (PLAS) research group is actively researching in both practical and theoretical aspects of program design and system building. Our work in languages encompasses programming across a broad range of paradigms: concurrent, imperative, functional, logic and object-oriented. These interests are complemented by architectures and systems research in intrusion detection, mobile and distributed systems. Our work is linked by shared interests in semantics, verification and implementation. Common aspirations of the PLAS group are to develop techniques and tools for program manipulation, ensure program correctness, and improve the reliability and security of programs.
