Effective prioritization of issue reports is crucial in software engineering to optimize resource allocation and address critical problems promptly. However, the manual classification of issue reports for prioritization is laborious and…
By leveraging large clusters of commodity hardware, the Cloud offers great opportunities to optimize the operative costs of software systems, but impacts significantly on the reliability of software applications. The lack of control of…
To address the extremely concerning problem of software vulnerability, system security is often entrusted to Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Despite their now established detection capabilities, such models are limited by design to…
This paper proposes a general machine learning framework called the localization method, which is fundamentally built on two core concepts: localization kernels and local means -- key components that underpin the self-attention mechanism.…
Software fault localization is one of the most expensive, tedious, and time-consuming activities in program debugging. This activity becomes even much more challenging in Software Product Line (SPL) systems due to the variability of…
The rapid evolution of Web UI incurs time and effort in UI test maintenance. Prior techniques in Web UI test repair focus on locating the target elements on the new Webpage that match the old ones so that the corresponding broken statements…
In this paper, we first collect and track a large number of fixed and unfixed violations across revisions of software. The empirical analyses reveal that there are discrepancies in the distributions of violations that are detected and those…
Spectrum-Based Fault Localization (SBFL) is a technique to be used during debugging, the premise of which is that, based on the test case outcomes and code coverage, faulty code elements can be automatically detected. SBFL is popular among…
Image forgery localization is a very active and open research field for the difficulty to handle the large variety of manipulations a malicious user can perform by means of more and more sophisticated image editing tools. Here, we propose a…
Machine-vision-based defect classification techniques have been widely adopted for automatic quality inspection in manufacturing processes. This article describes a general framework for classifying defects from high volume data batches…
The output-error method is a mainstay of aircraft system identification from flight-test data. It is the method of choice for a wide range of applications, from the estimation of stability and control derivatives for aerodynamic database…
A broad class of software engineering problems can be generalized as the "total recall problem". This short paper claims that identifying and exploring total recall language processing problems in software engineering is an important task…
Fault localization (FL) is a critical step in debugging, which typically relies on repeated executions to pinpoint faulty code regions. However, repeated executions can be impractical in the presence of non-deterministic failures or high…
For planning rearrangements of objects in a clutter, it is required to know the goal configuration of the objects. However, in real life scenarios, this information is not available most of the time. We introduce a novel method that…
We use the reconfiguration framework to analyze problems that involve the rearrangement of items among groups. In various applications, a group of items could correspond to the files or jobs assigned to a particular machine, and the goal of…
Reconfiguration paths express sequences of successive reconfiguration operations within a component-based approach allowing dynamic reconfigurations. We use constructs from regular expressions-pin particular, alternatives-to introduce…
Fault localization is challenging in an online service system due to its monitoring data's large volume and variety and complex dependencies across or within its components (e.g., services or databases). Furthermore, engineers require fault…
Microservice-based architectures enable different aspects of web applications to be created and updated independently, even after deployment. Associated technologies such as service mesh provide application-level fault resilience through…
Being able to accurately locate wireless devices, while guaranteeing high-level of security against spoofing attacks, benefits all participants in the localization chain (e.g., end users, network operators, and location service providers).…
The dynamic software development organizations optimize the usage of resources to deliver the products in the specified time with the fulfilled requirements. This requires prevention or repairing of the faults as quick as possible. In this…
