File-level defect prediction models traditionally rely on product and process metrics. While process metrics effectively complement product metrics, they often overlook commit size the number of files…
Code obfuscation is widely adopted in modern software development to protect intellectual property and hinder reverse engineering, but it also provides attackers with a powerful means to conceal malic…
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is increasingly adopted to secure Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks due to its centralized control and programmable forwarding. However, SDN-IoT defense is inherently…
Employing Bayesian inference to calibrate constitutive model parameters has grown substantially in recent years. Among the available techniques, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling remains one of…
Software engineering students often struggle to appreciate empirical methods and hypothesis-driven inquiry, especially when taught in theoretical terms. This experience report explores whether groundi…
Evaluating the ethical robustness of large language models (LLMs) deployed in software systems remains challenging, particularly under sustained adversarial user interaction. Existing safety benchmark…
There is a growing need for cybersecurity professionals with practical knowledge and experience to meet societal needs and comply with new standards and regulations. At the same time, the advances in …
Vibe researching is an emerging paradigm in which human researchers provide high-level direction and critical judgment while LLM-based agents handle the labor-intensive execution of literature review,…
Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are critical for sustaining the evolution of large software systems. In regulated industries with legacy technologies, however, pipelines themselv…
The rise of large language models for code has reshaped software development. Autonomous coding agents, able to create branches, open pull requests, and perform code reviews, now actively contribute t…
Canonical correlation analysis is a classic well-known multivariate statistical method focusing on the relationships between two sets of variables. The visualisation of those relationships can be achi…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to automate software engineering tasks, including the generation of UML class diagrams from natural language descriptions. While prior work demons…
We present a data acquisition~(DAQ) software based on the MIDAS framework, specifically for gaseous detectors to support the detector deployments and applications. It implements a comprehensive suite …
Training effective software engineering agents requires large volumes of task-specific trajectories, incurring substantial data construction costs. Inspired by the "Less-Is-More" hypothesis in mathema…
The Mining Software Repositories (MSR) field focuses on analysing the rich data contained in software repositories to derive actionable insights into software processes and products. Mining repositori…
The impending arrival of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) threatens the security foundations of modern software: Shor's algorithm breaks RSA, ECDSA, ECDH, and Diffie-Hellman, while…
This paper presents an online linear model predictive control (MPC) framework for slew maneuvers that maintains star-tracker availability during ground-target tracking. The nonlinear rigid-body dynami…
Convection and rotation are both key processes in stellar evolution modelling. While standard mixing-length theory (MLT) provides a widely used modelling of convection, it neglects the effects of rota…
IDE-integrated AI coding assistants, which operate conversationally within developers' working codebases with access to project context and multi-file editing, are rapidly reshaping software developme…
Meta-analyses are regarded as the highest level in the hierarchy of evidence, yet standard models traditionally concentrated on estimating the mean effect size, often under restrictive assumptions abo…
