Abstract

Program analysis is the process of gathering deeper insights about a source code and analysing them to resolve software problems of arbitrary complexity. The key challenge in program analysis is to keep it fast, precise and straightforward. This research focuses on three key objectives to achieve an efficient program analysis: (i) expressive data representation, (ii) optimised data structure and (iii) fast data processing mechanisms. State of the art technologies such as Resource Description Framework (RDF) as data representation format, triplestores as the storage & processing layer, and datalog to represent program analysis rules are considered in our research. diagram(BDD) to be embedded in the triplestore. Additionally, an ontology is being designed to standardise the definitions of concepts and representation of the knowledge in the program analysis domain.
