The Untold Impact of Learning Approaches on Software Fault-Proneness Predictions
Mohammad Jamil Ahmad, Katerina Goseva-Popstojanova, Robyn R. Lutz
Software fault-proneness prediction is an active research area, with many factors affecting prediction performance extensively studied. However, the impact of the learning approach…
Learning Feature Interactions With and Without Specifications
Seyedehzahra Khoshmanesh, Tuba Yavuz, Robyn R. Lutz
Features in product lines and highly configurable systems can interact in ways that are contrary to developers' intent. Current methods to identify such unanticipated feature inter…
Does Link Prediction Help Detect Feature Interactions in Software Product Lines (SPLs)?
Seyedehzahra Khoshmanesh, Robyn Lutz
An ongoing challenge for the requirements engineering of software product lines is to predict whether a new combination of features (units of functionality) will create an unwanted…
Population-Induced Phase Transitions and the Verification of Chemical Reaction Networks
James I. Lathrop, Jack H. Lutz, Robyn R. Lutz +2
We show that very simple molecular systems, modeled as chemical reaction networks, can have behaviors that exhibit dramatic phase transitions at certain population thresholds. More…
Robustness and Games Against Nature in Molecular Programming
Jack H. Lutz, Neil Lutz, Robyn R. Lutz +1
Matter, especially DNA, is now programmed to carry out useful processes at the nanoscale. As these programs and processes become more complex and their envisioned safety-critical a…
Runtime Fault Detection in Programmed Molecular Systems
Samuel J. Ellis, Titus H. Klinge, James I. Lathrop +4
Watchdog timers are devices that are commonly used to monitor the health of safety-critical hardware and software systems. Their primary function is to raise an alarm if the monito…
Testing a Novel Self-Assembling Data Paradigm in the Context of IACT Data
Amanda Weinstein, Lucy Fortson, Thomas Brantseg +5
The process of gathering and associating data from multiple sensors or sub-detectors due to a common physical event (the process of event-building) is used in many fields, includin…
