Reproducible document standards, like R Markdown, facilitate the programmatic creation of documents whose content is itself programmatically generated. While these documents are generally not complete in the sense that they will not include…

C-to-Rust transpilation is essential for modernizing legacy C code while enhancing safety and interoperability with modern Rust ecosystems. However, no dataset currently exists for evaluating whether a system can transpile C into safe Rust…

Modern programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, and Rust encourage software reuse by hosting diverse and fast-growing repositories of highly interdependent packages (i.e., reusable libraries) for their users. The standard way to…

Ownership is the concept of tracking aliases and mutations to data, useful for both memory safety and system design. The Rust programming language implements ownership via the borrow checker, a static analyzer that extends the core type…

Here I present the freegroup package for working with the free group on a finite set of symbols. The package is vectorised; internally it uses an efficient matrix-based representation for free group objects but uses a configurable print…

RustMC is a stateless model checker that enables verification of concurrent Rust programs. As both Rust and C/C++ compile to LLVM IR, RustMC builds on GenMC which provides a verification framework for LLVM IR. This enables the automatic…

CONTEXT The R programming language has a huge and active community, especially in the area of statistical computing. Its interpreted nature allows for several interesting constructs, like the manipulation of functions at run-time, that…

In this talk we will review the major additions and improvements made to the ROOT system in the last 18 months and present our plans for future developments. The additons and improvements range from modifications to the I/O sub-system to…

Thanks to recent advancements in the technology, eXtended Reality (XR) applications are gaining a lot of momentum, and they will surely become increasingly popular in the next decade. These new applications, however, require a step forward…

Modern programming languages, most notably Rust, offer advanced linguistic constructs for building highly configurable software systems as aggregation of features -- identified by a configuration. However, they pose substantial challenges…

Robustness is a key concern for Rust library development because Rust promises no risks of undefined behaviors if developers use safe APIs only. Fuzzing is a practical approach for examining the robustness of programs. However, existing…

Summary: R and Matlab are two high-level scientific programming languages which are frequently applied in computational biology. To extend the wide variety of available and approved implementations, we present the Rcall interface which runs…

The Rust programming language is increasingly being considered for safety-critical system development. However, established safety standards such as ISO 26262 require the use of coding guidelines that do not yet exist for Rust. This paper…

We introduce Repro, an open-source library which aims at improving the reproducibility and usability of research code. The library provides a lightweight Python API for running software released by researchers within Docker containers which…

An increasing number of researchers support reproducibility by including pointers to and descriptions of datasets, software and methods in their publications. However, scientific articles may be ambiguous, incomplete and difficult to…

In this short article I introduce the spray package, which provides some functionality for handling sparse arrays. The package uses the C++ Standard Template Library's map class to store and retrieve elements. One natural application for…

Academic Clinical Trial Units frequently face fragmented statistical workflows, leading to duplicated effort, limited collaboration, and inconsistent analytical practices. To address these challenges within an oncology Clinical Trial Unit,…

The astrophysics community uses different tools for computational tasks such as complex systems simulations, radiative transfer calculations or big data. Programming languages like Fortran, C or C++ are commonly present in these tools and,…

Correct concurrent programs are difficult to write; when multiple threads mutate shared data, they may lose writes, corrupt data, or produce erratic program behavior. While many of the data-race issues with concurrency can be avoided by the…

Large-scale migration of legacy C code to Rust offers a promising path toward improving memory safety, but LLM-based C-to-Rust translation remains challenging due to limited context windows and hallucinations. Prior approaches are evaluated…
