Best Paper Award: Norman Rink, Automotive 2017

Published on in ORCHESTRATION (RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS)

 

Norman Rink, from the Chair for Compiler Construction, received the best paper award at the Automotive 2017 for his paper entitled “Extending a Compiler Backend for Complete Memory Error Detection”. The conference took place in Stuttgart from 30 to 31 May. The Automotive conference is a focused venue with top automotive players from Germany, where software reliability issues are addressed from different perspectives. Norman’s work shows how many potential errors are left unprotected when doing software transformation at the source code level or at the level of the compiler intermediate representation. He corrects this by adding error protection in the backend phase of the compiler.
