The Making of Office 2010 is a series of videos that takes you behind the scenes with those who are responsible for creating Microsoft Office 2010. This is Antoine Leblond. He is responsible for the Engineering Team that designs and develops The Microsoft Office applications. He talks about the man hours and passion that went behind building the Office Applications. And he also just wants to say “thanks”.

402 Payment Required

Google Tech Talk April 23, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Daniel A. Nagy. Since the early days of the Web, the holy grail of charging viewers for content has eluded developers and publishers alike. All of the implemented solutions have very serious shortcomings, of which users hating them is one of the most pervasive. In the presentation, the reasons of this failure are explored and a somewhat novel approach is demonstrated where economics sets the goals for engineering. The talk focuses on issues such as – Micropayment – Mental accounting and associated costs – User experience and interface design Daniel A. Nagy is an information security researcher interested in the application of economics-based designs to real-life problems of telecommunication security. His background is Telecommunications Engineering (MS) and Applied Mathematics (PhD). His home page is: www.epointsystem.org

Margus Veanes, a Researcher from the RiSE group at Microsoft Research, gives an overview of Rex, a tool that generates matching string from .NET regular expressions. Rex turns regular expressions into symbolic automatons, then gives them to a constraint solver to find matching strings.

The Verification Corner – Loop Termination
Comments Off
In this episode of The Verification Corner, Rustan Leino, Principal Researcher in the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) group at Microsoft Research, shows how to prove loop termination. During his demonstration, Rustan presents the theoretical background information necessary to build the proof before modeling it using the Dafny language.

In this episode of The Verification Corner, Rustan Leino gives a demonstration of specifications in action. He builds a program that chunks strings into pieces, i.e. a chunker, in Spec#. During the demo, he shows the verifier, the developer, and the specifications fit together in the development cycle. Rustan Leino is a Principal Researcher in the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) group at Microsoft Research.

Welcome to the latest installment of C9 Conversations. For this episode, we were very fortunate to get a chance to converse openly with one of the world’s preeminent mathematical logicians, the great Yuri Gurevich.
Dr. Gurevich is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. He is currently a principle research scientist in Wolfram Schulte’s RiSE team (Research in Software Engineering group at Microsoft Research).
Originally, Dr. Gurevich started his career as an algebraist. Later he became a logician. Then he moved to computer science, where his main projects have been Abstract State Machines, Average Case Computational Complexity, and Finite Model Theory. Dr. Gurevich has been honored as a Dr. Honoris Causa of the University of Limburg, Belgium (1998), as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (1996), as well as a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (1995).
Dr. Gurevich’s fundamental work on the theory of Abstract State Machines (ASMs) is of paramount importance for theoretical and applied computer science. The significance of the theoretical concepts developed by Gurevich is confirmed by the substantial impact they have on mathematical modeling of discrete dynamic systems.
*This is probably the only interview in C9’s history where a good case is made for imperative programming versus declarative and functional (this starts right off the bat at around 02:31).

The Verification Corner: Loop Invariants
Comments Off
In this episode of The Verification Corner, Rustan Leino talks about Loop Invariants. He gives a brief summary of the theoretical foundations and shows how a program can sometimes be systematically constructed from its specifications. Rustan Leino is a Principal Researcher in the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) group at Microsoft Research.

Nikolaj Bjørner and Leonardo de Moura are Researchers in the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) team at Microsoft Research. They are talking and demoing Z3, a high-performance SMT constraint solver. Solving constraint systems is the root of of many software analysis techniques so it is not surprising to see Z3 powering many tools developed at Microsoft: Spec#/Boogie, Pex, SLAM, SAGE, FORMULA, HAVOC and more.
In this video, you’ll get a 10000 feet overview of Z3 and constraint solving in general with a demo on how to use the C# API. For more details, you will find many articles that should keep you busy for a while.

Francesco Logozzo, a researcher at the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) group at Microsoft Research, gives a demo of the Static Checker that comes with Code Contracts for .NET tools. The static checker allows you to verify that all the assertions in your code hold without actually running the code!
Francesco also goes to the whiteboard and gives us a short tutorial on Abstract Interpretation, the technique used by the static checker to prove the assertions.

Jeffrey Van Gogh: Testing Rx with Pex
Comments Off
Ever wonder how the Reactive Extensions get tested? Jeffrey Van Gogh gives a glimpse at how they do it. The Rx developers have been using Pex and writing parameterized unit tests. In this video, we look at Enumerable.Zip and how we can use Pex to help testing it.
Jeffrey also explains how they use Pex in their build process to regenerate the entire unit test suite on each build!
