Regular expressions (regexes) are a powerful mechanism for solving string-matching problems. They are supported by all modern programming languages, and have been estimated to appear in more than a third of Python and ...

Background. Information provided by high-throughput sequencing platforms allows the collection of content-rich data about bio- logical sequences and their context. Sequence alignment is a bioinformatics approach to identifying ...

Generative adversary networks (GANs) suffer from training pathologies such as instability and mode collapse. These pathologies mainly arise from a lack of diversity in their adversarial interactions. Evolutionary generative ...

Automatic code completion is a useful and popular technique that software developers use to write code more effectively and efficiently. However, while the benefits of code completion are clear, its cost is yet not well ...

Finding the shortest path between two places is a well known problem in road traveling. While most of the work done up to this moment is focused on algorithmics, efficiently managing the information has received significantly ...

Model-based software engineering (MBSE) brings models to the center of software and system design. Models are powerful abstractions used to support all phases of the software development life cycle of complex software. As ...

In my research, I propose an automated technique to support bug investigation by using a novel analysis of the history of the source code. During the bug-fixing process, developers spend a high amount of manual effort ...

We consider a simulation-based approach to address crowd evacuation problems. An agent-based cellular automaton model is used to model the environment and the collective behavior of the crowd, taking into account both ...

Continuous integration (CI) is a widely used practice in modern software engineering. Unfortunately, it is also an expensive practice — Google and Mozilla estimate their CI systems in millions of dollars. There are a number ...
