Software plays a crucial role in our daily lives, and therefore the quality and security of software systems have become increasingly important. However, vulnerabilities in software still pose a significant threat, as they can have serious…
We present DiffMin, a technique that refines a fuzzed crashing input to gain greater similarities to given passing inputs to help developers analyze the crashing input to identify the failure-inducing condition and locate buggy code for…
Fault localization is a critical process that involves identifying specific program elements responsible for program failures. Manually pinpointing these elements, such as classes, methods, or statements, which are associated with a fault…
Memory corruption vulnerabilities are still a severe threat for software systems. To thwart the exploitation of such vulnerabilities, many different kinds of defenses have been proposed in the past. Most prominently, Control-Flow Integrity…
Continuous Integration (CI) implies that a whole developer team works together on the mainline of a software project. CI systems automate the builds of a software. Sometimes a developer checks in code, which breaks the build. A broken build…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been a promising way for automated vulnerability detection. However, most prior studies have explored the use of LLMs to detect vulnerabilities only within single functions, disregarding those related to…
Fairness-aware learning aims at constructing classifiers that not only make accurate predictions, but also do not discriminate against specific groups. It is a fast-growing area of machine learning with far-reaching societal impact.…
Search-based testing is widely used to find bugs in models of complex Cyber-Physical Systems. Latest research efforts have improved this approach by casting it as a falsification procedure of formally specified temporal properties,…
The performance of clients in Federated Learning (FL) can vary due to various reasons. Assessing the contributions of each client is crucial for client selection and compensation. It is challenging because clients often have non-independent…
Due to the increasing size of HPC machines, the fault presence is becoming an eventuality that applications must face. Natively, MPI provides no support for the execution past the detection of a fault, and this is becoming more and more…
Context: Software development projects increasingly adopt unit testing as a way to identify and correct program faults early in the construction process. Code that is unit tested should therefore have fewer failures associated with it.…
Plagiarism detection in programming education faces growing challenges due to increasingly sophisticated obfuscation techniques, particularly automated refactoring-based attacks. While code plagiarism detection systems used in education…
Although deep learning has demonstrated astonishing performance in many applications, there are still concerns about its dependability. One desirable property of deep learning applications with societal impact is fairness (i.e.,…
