Programmanalyse (Proseminar)

In this proseminar, we will study a selection of articles which can be considered classical (or fundamental) for the topic area program analysis. The articles have been published between 1938 and 2009 and some of the authors received the acknowledged Turing Award for their work. We will have weekly sessions starting early November (so not an "en bloc" schedule). The available topics will be introduced in the first session, together with the modus operandi (schedule, deliverables, grades).
