Florian Sihler received the Rising Star Award at for his work on , a static program analyzer framework for the R programming language.
flowR employs sophisticated dataflow analysis to provide more accurate and comprehensive results that can then be used to reduce a given program to just the parts necessary to perform a specific task (a so-called "program slice"). Analysis of real-world R code shows that the average reduction is around 85% of lines, reducing the Program to just around 15% of its original size.
Currently, flowR can be best explored by its .
