Live update is a promising solution to bridge the need to frequently update a software system with the pressing demand for high availability in mission-critical environments. While many research solutions have been proposed over the years, systems that all ...
Fault injection-a key technique for testing the robustness of software systems-ends up rarely being used in practice, because it is labor-intensive and one needs to choose between performing random injections (which leads to poor coverage and low represent ...
The end of Dennard scaling and the imminent end of semiconductor feature scaling means that software systems and applications will no longer benefit from 40% per annum performance increases, a continually rising tide that lifted all boats. Future software ...
This article presents S2E, a platform for analyzing the properties and behavior of software systems, along with its use in developing tools for comprehensive performance profiling, reverse engineering of proprietary software, and automated testing of kerne ...
This paper presents S2E, a platform for analyzing the properties and behavior of software systems. We demonstrate S2E's use in developing practical tools for comprehensive performance profiling, reverse engineering of proprietary software, and bug finding ...
We present ConfErr, a tool for testing and quantifying the resilience of software systems to human-induced configuration errors. ConfErr uses human error models rooted in psychology and linguistics to generate realistic configuration mistakes; it then inje ...
The era of distributed systems is upon us. The Internet revolution, combined with the recent explosion of smart devices, indicate a clear trend toward ubiquitous and pervasive computing that will continue to change the way people live and interact, the way ...
Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules introduces a performance overhead. This overhead is often considered negligible, but ...
Systems on chip are more and more heterogeneous and include software, analog/RF and digital hardware, and non-electronic components such as sensors or actuators. The design and the verification of such systems require appropriate modeling means to deal wit ...
With the growing demand for software systems that can cope with an increasing range of information processing tasks, the reuse of code from existing systems is essential to reduce the production costs of systems as well as the time to manufacture new softw ...
