Description
Debugging has always been a costly part of software
development, and many attempts have been made to provide
automatic computer support for this task.Automated
debugging has seen major develoments over the last decade.
Onesuccessful development is algorithmic debugging, which
originated in logic programming but was later generalized to
concurrent, imperative, and lazy functional languages.
Important advances have also been made in knowledge-based
program debugging, and in approaches to automated debugging
based on static and dynamic program slicing based on
dataflow and dependence analysis technology. This is the
first collected volume of papers on automated debugging and
presents latest developments, tutorial papers, and surveys.
