When selecting from a list of potential candidates, it is important to ensure not only that the selected items are of high quality, but also that they are sufficiently dissimilar so as to both avoid redundancy and to capture a broader range…
Fuzzy Rule Interpolation (FRI) methods can serve deducible (interpolated) conclusions even in case if some situations are not explicitly defined in a fuzzy rule based knowledge representation. This property can be beneficial in partial…
As modern software systems are increasingly developed for running in distributed environments, it is crucial to provide fundamental techniques such as dependence analysis for checking, diagnosing, and evolving those systems. However,…
Knowing what sensitive resources a dependency could potentially access would help developers assess the risk of a dependency before selection. One way to get an understanding of the potential sensitive resource usage by a dependency is…
A fundamental challenge of software testing is the statistically well-grounded extrapolation from program behaviors observed during testing. For instance, a security researcher who has run the fuzzer for a week has currently no means (i) to…
Fuzzy constraints are a popular approach to handle preferences and over-constrained problems in scenarios where one needs to be cautious, such as in medical or space applications. We consider here fuzzy constraint problems where some of the…
