For students who need background in dataflow analysis, I suggest reading Chapter 10.5-10.6 of the Dragon book (A.V. Aho, R. Sethi, and J.D. Ullman, Compilers: Principles, Technique and Tools, Addison-Wesley, 1986). This introduces the classical dataflow problems which have been used in optimizing compilers for procedural and object-oriented languages. The following two lectures from CS516 may also be useful to peruse: Dataflow Analysis I and Dataflow Analysis II. The latter lecture is a more formal treatment of dataflow foundations (see Thomas J. Marlowe, Barbara G. Ryder, "Properties of Data Flow Frameworks: A Unified Model", Acta Informatica, Vol. 28, pp 121-163, 1990.).
