Large Language Models (LLMs) have become key components of modern software, with prompts acting as their de-facto programming interface. However, prompt design remains largely empirical and small mistakes can cascade into unreliable,…

In this paper, we study a fault-tolerant control for systems consisting of multiple homogeneous components such as parallel processing machines. This type of system is often more robust to uncertainty compared to those with a single…

This dissertation presents an evaluation of several language models on software defect datasets. A language Model (LM) "can provide word representation and probability indication of word sequences as the core component of an NLP system."…

Fault-tolerant distributed systems offer high reliability because even if faults in their components occur, they do not exhibit erroneous behavior. Depending on the fault model adopted, hardware and software errors that do not result in a…

Prototyping and implementing distributed algorithms, particularly those that address challenges related with fault-tolerance and dependability, is a time consuming task. This is, in part, due to the need of addressing low level aspects such…

Serverless applications can be particularly difficult to troubleshoot, as these applications are often composed of various managed and partly managed services. Faults are often unpredictable and can occur at multiple points, even in simple…

This paper highlights the common pitfalls of overcomplicating the software architecture, development and delivery process by examining two enterprise level web application products built using Microsoft.Net framework. The aim of this paper…

In the era of Model-as-a-Service, organizations increasingly rely on third-party AI models for rapid deployment. However, the dynamic nature of emerging AI applications, the continual introduction of new datasets, and the growing number of…

Fault tolerant quantum computation over distributed quantum computing (DQC) platforms requires careful evaluation of resource requirements and noise thresholds. As quantum hardware advances toward modular and networked architectures,…

Parallel computing is very important to accelerate the performance of software systems. Additionally, considering that a recurring challenge is to process high data volumes continuously, stream processing emerged as a paradigm and software…

Variability constraints are an integral part of the requirements for a configurable system. The constraints specified in the requirements on the legal combinations of options define the space of potential valid configurations for the…

Nowadays, many individuals and teams involved on projects are already using agile development techniques as part of their daily work. However, we have much less experience in how to scale and manage agile practices in distributed software…

We describe the design and early implementation of an extensible, component-based software architecture for natural language engineering applications which interfaces with high performance distributed computing services. The architecture…

The aim of this paper is to show through a simple assembly a method of tolerancing analysis (coherent with GPS) developed at LM\'ecA and based on the model of clearance and deviation domains. Tolerancing is an important step in the product…

The rise of transient faults in modern hardware requires system designers to consider errors occurring at runtime. Both hardware- and software-based error handling must be deployed to meet application reliability requirements. The level of…

Edge inference has become more widespread, as its diverse applications range from retail to wearable technology. Clusters of networked resource-constrained edge devices are becoming common, yet no system exists to split a DNN across these…

The paper studies the problem of reaching agreement in a distributed message-passing system prone to crash failures. Crashes are generated by \constrained\ adversaries - a \wadapt\ adversary, who has to fix in advance the set of $f$…

Unique developmental and operational characteristics of ML components as well as their inherent uncertainty demand robust engineering principles are used to ensure their quality. We aim to determine how software systems can be (re-)…

We present our ongoing work on requirements specification and analysis for the geographically distributed software and systems. Developing software and systems within/for different countries or states or even within/for different…

Today's hardware technology presents a new challenge in designing robust systems. Deep submicron VLSI technology introduced transient and permanent faults that were never considered in low-level system designs in the past. Still, robustness…
