Software development creates and relies on a large volume of information, yet the volume of this information can make it challenging for developers to maintain an overview of all goings-on that a team and external actors contribute to a ...

Countries with access to large bodies of water often aim to protect their maritime transport by employing maritime surveillance systems. However, the number of available sensors (e.g., cameras) is typically small compared to the to-be-monitored targets, ...

Online social networks have become an integral aspect of our daily lives and play a crucial role in shaping our relationships with others. However, bugs and glitches, even minor ones, can cause anything from frustrating problems to serious data leaks ...

Conceptualising and debugging a microservice architecture can be a challenge for developers due to the complex topology of inter-service communication, which may only apparent when viewing the architecture as a whole. In this paper, we present MicroKarta,...

AI foundation models have the capability to produce a wide array of responses to a single prompt, a feature that is highly beneficial in software engineering to generate diverse code solutions. However, this advantage introduces a significant trade-off ...

To ensure reliable object detection in autonomous systems, the detector must be able to adapt to changes in appearance caused by environmental factors such as time of day, weather, and seasons. Continually adapting the detector to incorporate ...

• Address the question “when to adapt” which is ignored by prior works.
• Show a correlation between domain gap and detection accuracy.
• Assessing domain gap helps save energy usage for continual adaption without sacrificing detection ...

Outdated documentation is a pervasive problem in software development, preventing effective use of software, and misleading users and developers alike. We posit that one possible reason why documentation becomes out of sync so easily is that ...

Following the formal presentations, which included keynotes by Prof. Myra B. Cohen of Iowa State University and Dr. Sebastian Baltes of SAP as well as six papers (which are recorded in the pro- ceedings) there was a wide ranging discussion at the twelfth ...

We provide an open source framework to experiment with evolutionary algorithms which we call Experimenting and Learning toolkit for Evolutionary Algorithms (ELEA). ELEA is browser-based and allows to assemble evolutionary algorithms using drag-and-...

Automated program modification underlies two successful research areas — genetic improvement and program repair. Under the generate-and-validate strategy, automated program modification transforms a program, then validates the result against a ...

Most software domains rely on compilers to translate high-level code to multiple different machine languages, with performance not too much worse than what developers would have the patience to write directly in assembly language. However, ...

Problems with multiple interdependent components offer a better representation of the real-world situations where globally optimal solutions are preferred over optimal solutions for the individual components. One such model is the Travelling Thief ...

Manual engineering of high-performance implementations typically consumes many resources and requires in-depth knowledge of the hardware. Compilers try to address these problems; however, they are limited by design in what they can do. To address this,...

Code reuse is an important part of software development. The adoption of code reuse practices is especially common among Node.js developers. The Node.js package manager, NPM, indexes over 1 Million packages and developers often seek out packages to solve ...

The 2022 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2022) took place in Boston, on July 9th--13th, 2022, as the first-ever "hybrid" GECCO. Hybrid here meant that about half of the attendees were physically present in Boston, while the others ...

Cryptography is one of the main tools underlying the security of our connected world. Cryptographic code must achieve both high security requirements and high performance. Automatic generation and genetic improvement of such code are underexplored, ...

Research studies are increasingly critical of publicly available code due to evidence of faults. This has led researchers to explore ways to improve such code, with static analysis and genetic code improvement previously singled out. Previous work has ...
