4
+ Emina Torlak is a leader in the area of automated verification. She has
5
+ made both conceptual contributions and built tools that are state of the
6
+ art and widely used. On the conceptual side, the notion of a solver-aided
7
+ programming language is hers and has quickly become standard terminology.
8
+ Torlak defined a set of linguistic abstractions that elegantly generalized
9
+ various prior point solutions that integrated solvers into languages. The
10
+ rapidity with which the notion of solver-aided languages took hold
11
+ indicates both how natural the idea is in retrospect and how relevant it
12
+ is to a large group of researchers in the PL community.
13
+
14
+ Torlak demonstrated that it was feasible to build a fairly general-purpose
15
+ solver-aided language with Rosette. The idea of a lightweight symbolic VM
16
+ is principled and effective. She and her colleagues have successfully
17
+ deployed Rosette in a wide and impressive variety of applications across
18
+ domains, notably in systems. Further, Rosette is seeing broad application,
19
+ including by researchers outside of the PL community. Finally, Torlak's
20
+ tool Kodkod for finding solutions to Alloy models from her dissertation
21
+ work has been and continues to be widely used.
22
+
23
+ In summary, Emina Torlak has contributed an impressive breadth of
24
+ fundamental insights. Just as impressive is her depth of contribution to
25
+ open-source software that others have been able to build their research
26
+ on.
