CAD programs are a popular way to compactly encode shapes as a sequence of operations that are easy to parametrically modify. However, without sufficient semantic comments and structure, such programs can be challenging to understand, let…

Specifications - precise mathematical representations of correct domain-specific behaviors - are crucial to guarantee the trustworthiness of computer systems. With the increasing development of neural networks as computer system components,…

To avoid detection, adversaries often use command-line obfuscation. There are numerous techniques of the command-line obfuscation, all designed to alter the command-line syntax without affecting its original functionality. This variability…

Automatic synthesis from a given specification automatically constructs correct implementation. This frees the user from the mundane implementation work, but still requires the specification. But is specifying easier than implementing? In…

The unknown parameters of simulation models often need to be calibrated using observed data. When simulation models are expensive, calibration is usually carried out with an emulator. The effectiveness of the calibration process can be…

Attribute detection is crucial for many computer vision tasks, as it enables systems to describe properties such as color, texture, and material. Current approaches often rely on labor-intensive annotation processes which are inherently…

The reliable operation of automatic systems is heavily dependent on the ability to detect faults in the underlying dynamical system. While traditional model-based methods have been widely used for fault detection, data-driven approaches…

Scalable and automatic formal verification for concurrent systems is always demanding. In this paper, we propose a verification framework to support automated compositional reasoning for concurrent programs with shared variables. Our…

Comprehensive and well-defined specifications are necessary to perform rigorous and thorough validation of system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Message flows specify how components of an SoC design communicate and coordinate with each other to…

In the UNIX/Linux environment the kernel can log every command process created by every user using process accounting. This data has many potential uses, including the investigation of security incidents. However, process accounting data is…

We propose a new formal criterion for evaluating secure compilation schemes for unsafe languages, expressing end-to-end security guarantees for software components that may become compromised after encountering undefined behavior---for…

The safety of cyber-physical systems rests on the correctness of their monitoring mechanisms. This is problematic if the specification of the monitor is implemented manually or interpreted by unreliable software. We present a verifying…

OS compromise is one of the most serious computer security problems today, but still not being resolved. Although people proposed different kinds of methods, they could not be accepted by most users who are non-expert due to the lack of…

Specializing an OS to optimize the performance of a particular application is typically a manual process that requires great expertise. Specialization through configuration lends itself well to automation; however, it is challenging due to…

Neural network verification tools currently support only a narrow class of specifications, typically expressed as low-level constraints over raw inputs and outputs. This limitation significantly hinders their adoption and practical…

Functional specifications describe what program components do: the sufficient conditions to invoke a component's operations. They allow us to reason about the use of components in the closed world setting, where the component interacts with…

When attempting to understand the behavior of an executable, a binary analyst can make use of many different techniques. These include program slicing, dynamic instrumentation, binary-level rewriting, symbolic execution, and formal…

An accurate prediction of scheduling and execution of instruction streams is a necessary prerequisite for predicting the in-core performance behavior of throughput-bound loop kernels on out-of-order processor architectures. Such predictions…

Hyperscaler reports of silent data corruptions (SDCs), presumed to be caused by silicon manufacturing defects, have motivated the development of functional tests for detecting defective CPUs. We present ITHICA, an approach for automatically…

As modern software systems grow in complexity and operate in dynamic environments, the need for runtime analysis techniques becomes a more critical part of the verification and validation process. Runtime verification monitors the runtime…
