Synthia: a Generic and Flexible Data Structure Generator

Abstract

Synthia is a versatile, modular and extensible Java-based data structure generation library. It is centered on the notion of "pickers", which are objects producing values of a given type on demand. Pickers are stateful and can be given as input to other pickers; this chaining principle can generate objects whose structure follows a complex pattern. The paper describes the core principles and key features of the library, including test input shrinking, provenance tracking, and object mutation.

Retrosynthesis from transforms to predictive sustainable chemistry and nanotechnology: a brief tutorial review

“…57,62,[149][150][151][152] We should remember that this approach provided efficient knowledge for CASD design, resulting in Chematica and Synthia. 7 The new possibilities offered by the increasing computer power allowed for more efficient data mining and knowledge extraction from databases. For example, Voll and Marquardt designed Flux Analysis (RNFA) to identify optimal pathways for biorenewables based on the literature extracted data.…”

“…Despite the potential in this area, only a few examples appeared in the literature. 7,8 One of the obstacles can be a significant distance between the concerns of synthetic vs. computational chemistry. Retrosynthesis is still an autonomous outskirt of organic or inorganic chemistry rather than its central core.…”
