After a delightful and productive first part of my sabbatical at NUS hosted by @abhikrc.bsky.social, I am excited to start a second part at @unistuttgart.bsky.social hosted by Michael Pradel, via a @humboldt-foundation.de research award: www.imperial.ac.uk/news/260113/...

Our SRG member Manuel Carrasco has presented our paper on "Scalable SMT Sampling for Floating-point Formulas via Coverage-guided Fuzzing" at ICST 2025. @ccadar.bsky.social @afd-icl.bsky.social Check our paper and experiments at srg.doc.ic.ac.uk/projects/jfs/

It is a pleasure to be hosting S-REPLS at Imperial College London today - the 16th edition of the South of England Regional Programming Languages Seminar. Thanks to all the speakers and attendees for a great event so far!

Tomorrow Manuel Carrasco will present our work on "Scalable SMT Sampling for Floating-point Formulas via Coverage-guided Fuzzing" at ICST, joint with @ccadar.bsky.social - check out the paper, which builds on our prior work on JFS (Just Fuzz It Solver)! www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~afd/papers/...

Hot take: We have now fully arrived in the empiricist era where results and utility are all that matters, where a fundamental understanding of underlying processes takes a backseat. And I think that's bad. plato.stanford.edu/entries/rati...

Congrats to my PhD student Frank @fbusse.bsky.social for a successful viva! It's been wonderful working together all these years, and I'm looking forward to our next joint projects!

I am looking to recruit a PhD student (fully funded at UK home tuition rate) to work on automated testing and verification of machine learning compilers and runtimes! Deadline: 30th April. Please spread the word! Details here: www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~afd/PhD-Adv...

Very interesting talk! The ability to build a project and run its test suite automatically is indeed really useful for a variety of dynamic analysis techniques.

My PhD student Ahmed's research is focused on the challenging problem of both generating and contributing test cases to library repositories. Our recent paper presents an interesting relevant technique and case study. Talk to him at SANER! srg.doc.ic.ac.uk/publications...

I am looking to fill a Research Associate/Assistant position on an exciting project at the intersection of program analysis and GenAI. Candidates should be able to start soon (in the next few months). If you are interested, please get in touch ASAP! srg.doc.ic.ac.uk/vacancies/25...

SQLancer will be part of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program again this year! We are looking for motivated contributors as well as database development teams who would like to have their systems tested. summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/202...

I am organising the next edition of S-REPLS at Imperial College London on 1st April (no joke) - email me if you're interested in giving a talk! Web page and registration coming soon.

🔮 ACM TOSEM Perspective Paper on Software Security in 2030 (Invited). 📝 mpi-softsec.github.io/papers/TOSEM... Collab w/ Eric Bodden, Tevfik Bultan, Cristian Cadar, Liu Yang, and Giuseppe Scanniello

We will hold the Fuzzing and Software Security Summer School 2025 in Singapore from May 26 to 30. Please consider registering or sharing the info with anyone you think would be interested. Registration will be open until 16 Feb. fuzzing.comp.nus.edu.sg @abhikrc.bsky.social @umathur.bsky.social

Attending an interesting Shonan seminar on Trusted Automated Programming, with interesting discussions and beautiful Mount Fuji in the background.

On my way to give a talk on fuzzing today, I spotted this coffee shop. I now need to try a greybox coffee, and compare it with a blackbox and whitebox one.

Thank you, @david-lo.bsky.social, for hosting me at SMU today for a seminar talk where I discussed recent advances and ongoing challenges in fuzzing. Thanks to everyone in the audience for their excellent questions and suggestions.

Delighted that our paper on "Grammar mutation for testing input parsers" - led by Bachir Bendrissou and joint with @ccadar.bsky.social - is now published in ACM TOSEM! This came from a registered report at FUZZING. Check it out! doc.ic.ac.uk/~afd/papers/...

It was a a delight to hang out with these fine friends during the Computer Science Research Week at NUS. My first trip to Singapore - what a city! I'm delighted that #OOPSLA / #SPLASH and #ICFP will take place there in October.

It's 2025, which means PLISS is this year... May to be specific! If you're interested in studying programming language implementations, please make sure to express your interest in time pliss.org/2025/

Releasing AutoCodeRover-v2 -- Fully open source download for anyone !! autocoderover.dev Achieving 24.9% on SWE-bench full and 46.2% on SWE-bench Verified! **Source code available** at github.com/nus-apr/auto...

Welcome, Abhik! There is indeed a lot of movement in this direction.

I am delighted to be in Singapore for an extended visit, kindly hosted by Abhik Roychoudhury and his awesome group at NUS. I've already had many interesting and productive meetings at NUS and beyond, and I'm looking forward to my remaining time here!

We have six open faculty positions in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London, with software engineering among the focus areas! Outstanding candidates across all areas of computer science are encouraged to apply. More info at www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

Delighted to talk today about program analysis for safe and secure software evolution to a great audience in Singapore! Many thanks to Imperial Global Singapore for hosting my talk.
