Although it is possible to increase confidence in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) by reviewing its source code, trusting code is not the same as trusting its executable counterparts. These are typically built and distributed by…
Various fields of science face a reproducibility crisis. For quantum software engineering as an emerging field, it is therefore imminent to focus on proper reproducibility engineering from the start. Yet the provision of reproduction…
The reproduction and replication of research results has become a major issue for a number of scientific disciplines. In computer science and related computational disciplines such as systems biology, the challenges closely revolve around…
The increasing complexity of software supply chains and the rise of supply chain attacks have elevated concerns around software integrity. Users and stakeholders face significant challenges in validating that a given software artifact…
Reproducibility and comparability of empirical results are at the core tenet of the scientific method in any scientific field. To ease reproducibility of empirical studies, several benchmarks in software engineering research, such as…
How many times have you tried to re-implement a past CAV tool paper, and failed? Reliably reproducing published scientific discoveries has been acknowledged as a barrier to scientific progress for some time but there remains only a small…
Reproducible Builds (R-B) guarantee that rebuilding a software package from source leads to bitwise identical artifacts. R-B is a promising approach to increase the integrity of the software supply chain, when installing open source…
In recent years, the research community has raised serious questions about the reproducibility of scientific work. In particular, since many studies include some kind of computing work, reproducibility is also a technological challenge, not…
Supply chain attacks have emerged as a prominent cybersecurity threat in recent years. Reproducible and bootstrappable builds have the potential to reduce such attacks significantly. In combination with independent, exhaustive and periodic…
In this paper we present attestable builds, a new paradigm to provide strong source-to-binary correspondence in software artifacts. We tackle the challenge of opaque build pipelines that disconnect the trust between source code, which can…
Scientific knowledge increasingly depends on complex computational processes where both hardware and software layers can influence research outcomes. As computational complexity grows, classical-quantum integration provides a lens for…
Building Performance Simulation (BPS) uses advanced computational and data science methods. Reproducibility, the ability to obtain the same results by using the same data and methods, is essential in BPS research to ensure the reliability…
Reproducibility is the ability of recreating identical binaries under pre-defined build environments. Due to the need of quality assurance and the benefit of better detecting attacks against build environments, the practice of reproducible…
Many research groups aspire to make data and code FAIR and reproducible, yet struggle because the data and code life cycles are disconnected, executable environments are often missing from published work, and technical skill requirements…
Internet-scale quantum repeater networks will be heterogeneous in physical technology, repeater functionality, and management. The classical control necessary to use the network will therefore face similar issues as Internet data…
Containers as the unit of application delivery are the 'next big thing' in the software development world. They enable developers to create an executable image containing an application bundled with all its dependencies which a user can run…
Reproducibility of computationally-derived scientific discoveries should be a certainty. As the product of several person-years' worth of effort, results -- whether disseminated through academic journals, conferences or exploited through…
Reproducibility is a cornerstone of science, as the replication of findings is the process through which they become knowledge. It is widely considered that many fields of science are undergoing a reproducibility crisis. This has led to the…
Reproducibility of computational studies is a hallmark of scientific methodology. It enables researchers to build with confidence on the methods and findings of others, reuse and extend computational pipelines, and thereby drive scientific…
As software has become an integral part of scientific workflows, reproducible research practices must take it into account. In what way? Archiving source code is a necessary but insufficient condition. The ability to redeploy software…
