Applying Automated Program Repair to Dataflow Programming Languages
Yu Huang, Hammad Ahmad, Stephanie Forrest, Westley R. Weimer · 2021
Dataflow programming languages are used in a variety of settings, and defects in their programs can have serious consequences. However, prior work in automated program repair (APR) emphasizes control flow over dataflow languages. We identify three impediments to the use of APR in dataflow programming-parallelism, state, and evaluation-and highlight opportunities for overcoming them.
