Dynamic program analysis encompasses the development of techniques and tools for analyzing computer software by exploiting information gathered from a program at runtime. The impressive amounts of data collected by dynamic analysis tools require efficient indexing and compression schemes, as well as on-line algorithmic techniques for mining relevant information on-the-fly in order to identify frequent events, hidden software patterns, or undesirable behaviors corresponding to bugs, malware, or intrusions.

Abstract

Dynamic program analysis encompasses the development of techniques and tools for analyzing computer software by exploiting information gathered from a program at runtime. The impressive amounts of data collected by dynamic analysis tools require efficient indexing and compression schemes, as well as on-line algorithmic techniques for mining relevant information on-the-fly in order to identify frequent events, hidden software patterns, or undesirable behaviors corresponding to bugs, malware, or intrusions. The paper explores how recent results in algorithmic theory for data-intensive scenarios can be applied to the design and implementation of dynamic program analysis tools, focusing on two important techniques: sampling and streaming.
