Numerical software are widely used in safety-critical systems such as aircrafts, satellites, car engines and so on, facilitating dynamics control of such systems in real time, it is therefore absolutely necessary to verify their…

Recently, a framework for application-oriented optimal experiment design has been introduced. In this context, the distance of the estimated system from the true one is measured in terms of a particular end-performance metric. This…

Sparse coding refers to the pursuit of the sparsest representation of a signal in a typically overcomplete dictionary. From a Bayesian perspective, sparse coding provides a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimate of the unknown vector under a…

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a new computing paradigm that enables cloud computing and information technology (IT) services to be delivered at the network's edge. By shifting the load of cloud computing to individual local servers, MEC…

Dynamic Symbolic Execution (DSE) suffers from the path explosion problem when the target program has many conditional branches. The classical approach for managing the path explosion problem is dynamic state merging. Dynamic state merging…

Amplitude Estimation (AE) is a critical subroutine in many quantum algorithms, allowing for a quadratic speedup in various applications like those involving estimating statistics of various functions as in financial Monte Carlo simulations.…

Computation task service delivery in a computing-enabled and caching-aided multi-user mobile edge computing (MEC) system is studied in this paper, where a MEC server can deliver the input or output datas of tasks to mobile devices over a…

We consider the problem of coded distributed computing where a large linear computational job, such as a matrix multiplication, is divided into $k$ smaller tasks, encoded using an $(n,k)$ linear code, and performed over $n$ distributed…

There are many widely used tools for measuring test-coverage and code-coverage. Test coverage is the ratio of requirements or other non-code artifacts covered by a test suite, while code-coverage is the ratio of source code covered by…

Code obfuscation is a major tool for protecting software intellectual property from attacks such as reverse engineering or code tampering. Yet, recently proposed (automated) attacks based on Dynamic Symbolic Execution (DSE) shows very…

The complexity of software in embedded systems has increased significantly over the last years so that software verification now plays an important role in ensuring the overall product quality. In this context, SAT-based bounded model…

Mobile edge computing (MEC) provides computational services at the edge of networks by offloading tasks from user equipments (UEs). This letter employs an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as the edge computing server to execute offloaded tasks…

In this paper, we introduce the Method of Ellipcenters (ME) for unconstrained minimization. At the cost of two gradients per iteration and a line search, we compute the next iterate by setting it as the center of an elliptical…

The automated generation of exercises may substantially reduce the time educators devote to manual exercise design. A major obstacle to the integration of such automation into teaching practice, however, lies in the ability to control the…

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is capable of meeting the challenging requirements of next-generation networks, e.g., 6G, as a benefit of providing computing and caching capabilities in the close proximity of the users. However, the…

In modern computing systems, compilation employs numerous optimization techniques to enhance code performance. Source-to-source code transformations, which include control flow and datapath transformations, have been widely used in…

The software system under test can be modeled as a graph comprising of a set of vertices, (V) and a set of edges, (E). Test Cases are Test Paths over the graph meeting a particular test criterion. In this paper, we present a method to…

Symbolic execution helps check programs by exploring different paths based on symbolic inputs. Tools like KLEE are commonly used because they can automatically detect bugs and create test cases. But one of KLEE's biggest issues is how slow…

We consider the problem Minimum Error Correction (MEC). A MEC instance is an n x m matrix M with entries from {0,1,-}. Feasible solutions are composed of two binary m-bit strings, together with an assignment of each row of M to one of the…

Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding is a powerful decoding strategy widely used for text generation tasks, but its quadratic computational complexity limits its practical application. This paper presents a novel approach for approximating MBR…
