Quality Inspection of Printed Circuit Board Pin Insertion via Semantic Segmentation and Board-Level Feature Extraction
Nils Rabeneck, André Kiunke, Nicole Hoess +1
Quality control during printed circuit board (PCB) assembly is a critical step in ensuring reliable electronic products. Detecting misaligned pins during or after pin insertion rem…
Repositories, Contributors, and Continuity: An Empirical Study of Foundational Quantum Software
Vincent Gierisch, Nicole Hoess, Ralf Ramsauer +1
Driven by contributions from academia, industry, and open-source communities, the quantum software ecosystem is rapidly growing. Across this ecosystem, new concepts often emerge th…
From Tracepoints to Timeliness: A Semi-Markov Framework for Predictive Runtime Analysis
Benno Bielmeier, Ralf Ramsauer, Takahiro Yoshida +1
Detecting and resolving violations of temporal constraints in real-time systems is both, time-consuming and resource-intensive, particularly in complex software environments. Measu…
Towards System-Level Quantum-Accelerator Integration
Ralf Ramsauer, Wolfgang Mauerer
Quantum computers are often treated as experimental add-ons that are loosely coupled to classical infrastructure through high-level interpreted languages and cloud-like orchestrati…
Static Hardware Partitioning on RISC-V -- Shortcomings, Limitations, and Prospects
Ralf Ramsauer, Stefan Huber, Konrad Schwarz +2
On embedded processors that are increasingly equipped with multiple CPU cores, static hardware partitioning is an established means of consolidating and isolating workloads onto si…
Peel Pile? Cross-Framework Portability of Quantum Software
Manuel Schönberger, Maja Franz, Stefanie Scherzinger +1
In recent years, various vendors have made quantum software frameworks available. Yet with vendor-specific frameworks, code portability seems at risk, especially in a field where h…
Beyond the Badge: Reproducibility Engineering as a Lifetime Skill
Wolfgang Mauerer, Stefan Klessinger, Stefanie Scherzinger
Ascertaining reproducibility of scientific experiments is receiving increased attention across disciplines. We argue that the necessary skills are important beyond pure scientific…
1-2-3 Reproducibility for Quantum Software Experiments
Wolfgang Mauerer, Stefanie Scherzinger
Various fields of science face a reproducibility crisis. For quantum software engineering as an emerging field, it is therefore imminent to focus on proper reproducibility engineer…
Tell-Tale Tail Latencies: Pitfalls and Perils in Database Benchmarking
Michael Fruth, Stefanie Scherzinger, Wolfgang Mauerer +1
The performance of database systems is usually characterised by their average-case (i.e., throughput) behaviour in standardised or de-facto standard benchmarks like TPC-X or YCSB.…
Silentium! Run-Analyse-Eradicate the Noise out of the DB/OS Stack
Wolfgang Mauerer, Ralf Ramsauer, Edson R. F. Lucas +1
When multiple tenants compete for resources, database performance tends to suffer. Yet there are scenarios where guaranteed sub-millisecond latencies are crucial, such as in real-t…
Replicability and Reproducibility of a Schema Evolution Study in Embedded Databases
Dimitri Braininger, Wolfgang Mauerer, Stefanie Scherzinger
Ascertaining the feasibility of independent falsification or repetition of published results is vital to the scientific process, and replication or reproduction experiments are rou…
The Sound of Silence: Mining Security Vulnerabilities from Secret Integration Channels in Open-Source Projects
Ralf Ramsauer, Lukas Bulwahn, Daniel Lohmann +1
Public development processes are a key characteristic of open source projects. However, fixes for vulnerabilities are usually discussed privately among a small group of trusted mai…
The List is the Process: Reliable Pre-Integration Tracking of Commits on Mailing Lists
Ralf Ramsauer, Daniel Lohmann, Wolfgang Mauerer
A considerable corpus of research on software evolution focuses on mining changes in software repositories, but omits their pre-integration history. We present a novel method for t…
Look Mum, no VM Exits! (Almost)
Ralf Ramsauer, Jan Kiszka, Daniel Lohmann +1
Multi-core CPUs are a standard component in many modern embedded systems. Their virtualisation extensions enable the isolation of services, and gain popularity to implement mixed-c…
Observing Custom Software Modifications: A Quantitative Approach of Tracking the Evolution of Patch Stacks
Ralf Ramsauer, Daniel Lohmann, Wolfgang Mauerer
Modifications to open-source software (OSS) are often provided in the form of "patch stacks" - sets of changes (patches) that modify a given body of source code. Maintaining patch…
