| Abstract | Software defects significantly reduce system dependability. Among various types of software bugs, semantic and concurrency bugs are two of the most difficult to detect. This paper proposes a novel method, called MUVI, that detects an important class of semantic and concurrency bugs. MUVI automatically infers commonly existing multi-variable access correlations through code analysis and then detects two types of related bugs: (1) inconsistent updates--correlated variables are not updated in a consistent way, and (2) multi-variable concurrency bugs--correlated accesses are not protected in the same atomic sections in concurrent programs.We evaluate MUVI on four large applications: Linux, Mozilla,MySQL, and PostgreSQL. MUVI automatically infers more than 6000 variable access correlations with high accuracy (83%).Based on the inferred correlations, MUVI detects 39 new inconsistent update semantic bugs from the latest versions of these applications, with 17 of them recently confirmed by the developers based on our reports.We also implemented MUVI multi-variable extensions to tworepresentative data race bug detection methods (lock-set and happens-before). Our evaluation on five real-world multi-variable concurrency bugs from Mozilla and MySQL shows that the MUVI-extension correctly identifies the root causes of four out of the five multi-variable concurrency bugs with 14% additional overhead on average. Interestingly, MUVI also helps detect four new multi-variable concurrency bugs in Mozilla that have never been reported before. None of the nine bugs can be identified correctly by the original race detectors without our MUVI extensions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
