With the proliferation of testing culture\, many d evelopers are facing new challenges. As projects are getting started\, the focus may be on developing enough tests to maintain confidence that the cod e is correct. However\, as developers write more and more tests\, performan ce and repeatability become growing concerns for test suites. In our study of large open source software\, we found that running tests took on average 41% of the total time needed to build each project – over 90% in those tha t took the longest to build. Unfortunately\, typical techniques for acceler ating test suites from literature (like running only a subset of tests\, or running them in parallel) can’t be applied in practice safely\, since test s may depend on each other. These dependencies are very hard to find and de tect\, posing a serious challenge to test and build acceleration. In this t alk\, I will present my recent research in automatically detecting and isol ating these dependencies\, enabling for significant\, safe and sound build acceleration of up to 16x.
Jon is a fourth year PhD candidate at Columbia University studying Software Engineering with Prof Gail Kaiser. His research interests in Software Engineering mostly fall under the umbrella of Software Testing and Program Analysis. Jon’s recent research in accelerating software testi ng has been recognized with an ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award (ICSE ’14)\, and has been the basis for an industrial collaboration with the bay- area software build acceleration company Electric Cloud. Jon actively parti cipates in the artifact evaluation program committees of ISSTA and OOPS LA\, and has served several years as the Student Volunteer chair for OO PSLA.

How ever\, in recent years this approach has proven to not scale well with the ever increasingly strict regulatory environment. We at Bayard Rock have had much success at applying fancier approaches\, including some machine learn ing\, to this problem. In this talk I walk you through the general problem domain and talk about some of the algorithms we use. I’ll also dip into why and how we leverage typed functional programming for rapid iteration with a small team in order to out-innovate our competitors.
Bayard Rock\, LLC\, is a private research and so ftware development company with headquarters in the Empire State Building. It is a leader in the filed in the research and development of tools for im proving the state of the art in anti-money laundering and fraud detection. As you might imagine\, these tools rely heavily on mathematics and graph al gorithms. In this talk\, Richard Mine rich will discuss the research activities of Bayard Rock and its approa ches to build tools to find the “bad guys”. Richard Minerich is Bayard Rock ’s Director of Research and Development. Rick has expertise in F#\, C#\, C\ , C++\, C++/CLI\,. NET (1.1\, 2.0\, 3.0\, 3.5\, 4.0\, and 4.5)\, Object Ori ented Design\, Functional Design\, Entity Resolution\, Machine Learning\, C oncurrency\, and Image Processing. He is interested in working on algorithm ically\, mathematically complex projects and remains open to explore new id eas.
Rick holds 2 patents. The first one\, co-invented with a colleag ue\, is titled “Method of Image Analysis Using Sparse Hough Transform.” The other independently held is known as “Method for Document to Template Alig nment.”

The mechanisms that underlie these detrimental effects on heart muscle\, however\, remain unclear. The Drug Toxicity Signature Generation Center at ISMMS aims to address this unresolved issue by providing a bridge between m olecular changes in cells and the prediction of pathophysiological effects. I will discuss ongoing work in which we use next-generation sequencing to quantify changes in gene expression that occur in cardiac myocytes after th ey are treated with potentially toxic chemotherapeutic agents. I will focus in particular on the computational pipeline we are developing that integra tes sophisticated sequence alignment\, statistical and network analysis\, a nd dynamical mathematical models to develop novel predictions about the mec hanisms underlying drug-induced cardiotoxicity.
