To counter man-at-the-end attacks such as reverse engineering and tampering, software is often protected with techniques that require support modules to be linked into the application. It is well-known, however, that attackers can exploit…

The source code of Function as a Service (FaaS) applications is constantly being refined. To detect if a source code change introduces a significant performance regression, the traditional benchmarking approach evaluates both the old and…

To perform their daily tasks, developers intensively make use of existing resources by consulting open-source software (OSS) repositories. Such platforms contain rich data sources, e.g., code snippets, documentation, and user discussions,…

Although architecture instability has been studied and measured using a variety of metrics, a deeper analysis of which project parts are less stable and how such instability varies over time is still needed. While having more information on…

Maintaining legacy enterprise information systems is a known necessity in companies. To date, it remains an expensive and time-consuming process, requiring high effort and cost to get small changes implemented. MITRAS seeks to reduce the…

The globalization of the software market leads to crucial problems for software companies. More competition between software companies arises and leads to the force on companies to develop ever newer software products in ever shortened time…

The liberalization of software licensing has led to unprecedented re-use of software. Alongside drastically increasing productivity and arguably quality of derivative works, it has also introduced multiple attack vectors. The management of…

The Open Source Software movement has been growing exponentially for a number of years with no signs of slowing. Driving this growth is the widespread availability of libraries and frameworks that provide many functionalities. Developers…

Legacy software systems, written in outdated languages like MUMPS and mainframe assembly, pose challenges in efficiency, maintenance, staffing, and security. While LLMs offer promise for modernizing these systems, their ability to…

Continuous evolution in modern software often causes documentation, tutorials, and examples to be out of sync with changing interfaces and frameworks. Relying on outdated documentation and examples can lead programs to fail or be less…

The explosion of data and its ever increasing complexity in the last few years, has made MLOps systems more prone to failure, and new tools need to be embedded in such systems to avoid such failure. In this demo, we will introduce crucial…

The use of open-source software (OSS) is ever-increasing, and so is the number of open-source vulnerabilities being discovered and publicly disclosed. The gains obtained from the reuse of community-developed libraries may be offset by the…

We introduce the Software Heritage filesystem (SwhFS), a user-space filesystem that integrates large-scale open source software archival with development workflows. SwhFS provides a POSIX filesystem view of Software Heritage, the largest…

The NPM package repository contains over two million packages and serves tens of billions of downloads per-week. Nearly every single JavaScript application uses the NPM package manager to install packages from the NPM repository. NPM relies…

While open-source software has enabled significant levels of reuse to speed up software development, it has also given rise to the dreadful dependency hell that all software practitioners face on a regular basis. This article provides a…

Supercomputing systems today often come in the form of large numbers of commodity systems linked together into a computing cluster. These systems, like any distributed system, can have large numbers of independent hardware components…

Like conventional software projects, projects in model-driven software engineering require adequate management of multiple versions of development artifacts, importantly allowing living with temporary inconsistencies. In the case of…

Software engineers have a wide variety of tools and techniques that can help them improve the quality of their code, but still, a lot of bugs remain undetected. In this paper we build on the idea that if a particular fragment of code is…

Content Management Systems (CMSs) are the most popular tool when it comes to create and publish content across the web. Recently, CMSs have evolved, becoming \emph{headless}. Content served by a \emph{headless CMS} aims to be consumed by…

As modern software development increasingly relies on reusable libraries and components, managing dependencies has become critical for ensuring software stability and security. However, challenges such as outdated dependencies, missed…
