Synopsis:

Program analysis studies program behavior with the aim of code optimization and error detection. Students will learn static program analysis, which approximates program behavior without the need to actually run the program, as well as dynamic program analysis which analyse programs at runtime. Students will be introduced to the common techniques and algorithms and use them on some classical problems.
