    • How (and why) developers use the dynamic features of programming languages: the case of smalltalk 
      Callaú, Oscar; Robbes, Romain; Tanter, Éric Pierre; Röthlisberger, David (Springer, 2013)
      The dynamic and reflective features of programming languages are powerful constructs that programmers often mention as extremely useful. However, the ability to modify a program at runtime can be both a boon—in terms of ...
    • On the Use of Type Predicates in Object-Oriented Software: The Case of Smalltalk 
      Callaú, Oscar; Robbes, Romain; Tanter, Éric Pierre; Röthlisberger, David; Bergel, Alexandre (ACM, 2015)
      Object-orientation relies on polymorphism to express behavioral variants. As opposed to traditional procedural design, explicit type-based conditionals should be avoided. This message is conveyed in introductory material ...
    • Unanticipated partial behavioral reflection: Adapting applications at runtime 
      Röthlisberger, David; Denker, Marcus; Tanter, Éric Pierre (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008-07)
      Dynamic, unanticipated adaptation of running systems is of interest in a variety of situations, ranging from functional upgrades to on-the-fly debugging or monitoring of critical applications. In this paper we study a ...
