Locality and phases have come to play a central role in understanding and improving the dynamic behavior of large computer programs.

Bilingual word alignment, the task of finding word-to-word connections between a sentence and its translation, is an important  part of knowledge acquisition for statistical machine translation.

Critical systems are present in an increasing variety of application domains like electronics, control, avionics, health equipment, etc.

Invention is the process of unlocking things that nature knows but we haven't found yet.

Modern large-scale system design poses a unique challenge to traditional software methodologies.

Lazy algorithms for Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) combine a generic DPLL-based SAT engine with a theory solver for a given theory T that can decide the T-consistency of conjunctions of ground

It has recently been discovered that incorporating Mn into the lattice of a III-V semiconductor (such as GaAs) will render the semiconductor ferromagnetic.

One of the major bottlenecks in the development of Statistical Machine Translation systems for most language pairs is the lack of bilingual parallel training data.

Home security systems with facial recognition, laundry machines that send text messages, telephones that pay for groceries.

Collateral evolutions are a pervasive problem in Linux device driver development, due to the frequent evolution of Linux driver support libraries and APIs.

Researchers of child language have typically assumed that the acquisition of grammatical morphemes provides evidence of syntactic competence.

What is at the core of every great company? How do leaders and companies create sustained competitive advantage?

In order to make computing devices more useful to most of us the next challenge we face is that of deriving and integrating location, accurate time and other context information in an easy to use

Dynamic analyses, such as testing and profiling, play a key role in state-of-art approaches to software quality assurance (QA).

Programmers of reliable large-scale distributed systems need tools to simplify tasks such as replicating services or data.

In current commodity systems, applications have no way of limiting their trust in the underlying operating system (OS), leaving them at the complete mercy of an attacker who gains control over the OS.
