Bugs versus bugs: probiotics, microbiome and allergy.

exposure to infections.

Effective testing for concurrency bugs

In the current multi-core era, concurrency bugs are a serious threat to software reliability. As hardware becomes more parallel, concurrent programming will become increasingly pervasive. However, correct concurrent programming is known to be extremely challenging for developers and can easily lead to the introduction of concurrency bugs. This dissertation addresses this challenge by proposing ...
