Software testing research has traditionally relied on closed-world assumptions, such as finite state spaces, reproducible executions, and stable test oracles. However, many modern software systems ope…
In large software ecosystems, semantically related code changes, such as alternative solutions or overlapping modifications are often discovered only days after submission, leading to duplicated effor…
The growing complexity of real-time embedded systems demands strong isolation of software components into separate protection domains to reduce attack surfaces and limit fault propagation. However, ap…
AI IDEs and coding agents compress discovery, fetch, workspace open, installation, and execution into one low-observability loop. Existing defenses such as provenance frameworks, package and repositor…
Software architecture diagrams are important design artifacts for communicating system structure, behavior, and data organization throughout the software development lifecycle. Although recent progres…
AI coding agents select frameworks, scaffold infrastructure, and wire integrations, often in seconds. These are architectural decisions, yet almost no one reviews them as such. We identify five mechan…
Autonomous software agents on blockchains solve distributed-coordination problems by reading shared ledger state instead of exchanging direct messages. Liquidation keepers, arbitrage bots, and other a…
With the widespread use of software systems in critical infrastructures such as hydropower plants has brought many advantages, yet it has exposed these systems to cyber threats. Cyber risk assessment …
COBOL remains a critical language for mainframe systems, yet existing large language models (LLMs) struggle to generate and translate COBOL code correctly. This paper reports our experience in develop…
Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT) or GRID therapy has been in existence for more than a century. GRID therapy was invented as an approach to address the challenges posed by bulky tumors.…
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has elevated data to a cornerstone of modern software systems. As data projects become increasingly complex and dynamic, version control for data has b…
Financial sustainability is vital for open-source software, yet systematic research on funding remains limited. GitHub Sponsors, launched in 2019 as a direct developer-to-developer funding model, lack…
Experimental access to real honeybee colonies requires robotic systems capable of operating within limited spatial constraints, tolerating hive-specific fouling and environmental conditions, and suppo…
Software supply chain security compromises often stem from cascaded interactions of vulnerabilities, for example, between multiple vulnerable components. Yet, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)-based p…
The assumption that mobile enterprise software requires native Android SDK development has persisted for over a decade, but for institutional deployments, this assumption is not merely outdated: it is…
Formal specification generation has recently drawn attention in software engineering as a way to improve program correctness without requiring manual annotations. Large Language Models (LLMs) have sho…
Reverse engineering (RE) is central to software security, particularly for cryptographic programs that handle sensitive data and are highly prone to vulnerabilities. It supports critical tasks such as…
With the servitization of business, understanding how users experience services becomes a crucial success factor for companies. Therefore, there is a need to include feedback from user experiences in …
Patching severe security flaws in complex software remains a major challenge. While automated tools like fuzzers efficiently discover bugs, fixing deep-rooted low-level faults (e.g., use-after-free an…
Federated learning (FL) research increasingly relies on single-node simulations with hundreds or thousands of virtual clients, making both efficiency and reproducibility essential. Yet parallel client…
