Applications with safety requirements have become ubiquitous nowadays and can be found in edge devices of all kinds. However, microcontrollers in those devices, despite offering moderate performance by implementing multicores and cache…
Fault tolerance for the upcoming exascale generation has long been an area of active research. One of the components of a fault tolerance strategy is checkpointing. Petascale-level checkpointing is demonstrated through a new mechanism for…
Ensuring that safety-critical applications behave as intended is an important yet challenging task. Modeling languages like differential dynamic logic (dL) have proof calculi capable of proving guarantees for such applications. However, dL…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have become foundational to modern embodied AI systems. By integrating visual perception, language understanding, and action planning, they enable general-purpose task execution across diverse…
In recent years, high availability and reliability of Data Storage Systems (DSS) have been significantly threatened by soft errors occurring in storage controllers. Due to their specific functionality and hardware-software stack, error…
Zero-day vulnerabilities can be accidentally or maliciously placed in code and can remain in place for years. In this study, we address an aspect of their longevity by considering the likelihood that they will be discovered in the code…
Building on concepts drawn from control theory, self-adaptive software handles environmental and internal uncertainties by dynamically adjusting its architecture and parameters in response to events such as workload changes and component…
In software, there are the errors anticipated at specification and design time, those encountered at development and testing time, and those that happen in production mode yet never anticipated. In this paper, we aim at reasoning on the…
Successful HPC software applications are long-lived. When ported across machines and their compilers, these applications often produce different numerical results, many of which are unacceptable. Such variability is also a concern while…
The increasing complexity of modern software systems exacerbates the prevalence of security vulnerabilities, posing risks of severe breaches and substantial economic loss. Consequently, robust code vulnerability detection is essential for…
The reliability of concurrent and distributed systems often depends on some well-known techniques for fault tolerance. One such technique is based on checkpointing and rollback recovery. Checkpointing involves processes to take snapshots of…
Self-powered intermittent systems typically adopt runtime checkpointing as a means to accumulate computation progress across power cycles and recover system status from power failures. However, existing approaches based on the checkpointing…
Simulations are becoming ever more common as a tool for designing complex products. Sensitivity analysis techniques can be applied to these simulations to gain insight, or to reduce the complexity of the problem at hand. However, these…
Software vulnerabilities are flaws in computer software systems that pose significant threats to the integrity, security, and reliability of modern software and its application data. These vulnerabilities can lead to substantial economic…
Iterative methods are commonly used approaches to solve large, sparse linear systems, which are fundamental operations for many modern scientific simulations. When the large-scale iterative methods are running with a large number of ranks…
The architecture of a system captures important design decisions for the system. Over time, changes in a system's implementation may lead to violations of specific design decisions. This problem is common in industry and known as…
Fault tolerance is a long-term objective driving many companies and research organizations to compete in making current, imperfect quantum computers useful - Quantum Utility (QU). It looks promising to achieve this by leveraging software…
Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents increasingly rely on APIs to operate complex web applications, but rapid evolution often leads to incomplete or inconsistent API documentation. Existing work falls into two categories: (1) static,…
Software vulnerabilities are commonly exploited as attack vectors in cyberattacks. Hence, it is crucial to identify vulnerable software configurations early to apply preventive measures. Effective vulnerability detection relies on…
Certification through auditing allows to ensure that critical embedded systems are secure. This entails reviewing their critical components and checking for dangerous execution paths. This latter task requires the use of specialized tools…
