MINERVA: Browser API Fuzzing with Dynamic Mod-Ref Analysis

Mathias Josef Payer, Yu Jiang, Chijin Zhou

Browser APIs are essential to the modern web experience. Due to their large number and complexity, they vastly expand the attack surface of browsers. To detect vulnerabilities in these APIs, fuzzers generate test cases with a large amount of random API inv ...

Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Mutation-based greybox fuzzing-unquestionably the most widely-used fuzzing technique-relies on a set of non-crashing seed inputs (a corpus) to bootstrap the bug-finding process. When evaluating a fuzzer, common approaches for constructing this corpus inclu ...

Edit Based Grading of SQL Queries

Bikash Chandra

Grading student SQL queries manually is a tedious and error-prone process. Earlier work on testing correctness of student SQL queries, such as the XData system, can be used to test the correctness of a student query. However, in case a student query is fou ...

A non-twisting flux tube for local gyrokinetic simulations

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball

Local gyrokinetic simulations use a field-aligned domain that twists due to the magnetic shear of the background magnetic equilibrium. However, if the magnetic shear is strong and/or the domain is long, the twist can become so extreme that it fails to prop ...

The COUGHVID crowdsourcing dataset: A corpus for the study of large-scale cough analysis algorithms

David Atienza Alonso, Tomas Teijeiro Campo, Lara Orlandic

Overview Cough audio signal classification has been successfully used to diagnose a variety of respiratory conditions, and there has been significant interest in leveraging Machine Learning (ML) to provide widespread COVID-19 screening. Th ...

Testing of asymptomatic individuals for fast feedback-control of COVID-19 pandemic

Gabriel Aeppli

We argue that frequent sampling of the fraction ofa priorinon-symptomatic but infectious humans (either by random or cohort testing) significantly improves the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, when compared to intervention strategies relying on data fr ...

COVID-19 epidemic in Switzerland: on the importance of testing, contact tracing and isolation

Marcel Salathé

Switzerland is among the countries with the highest number of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) cases per capita in the world. There are likely many people with undetected SARS-CoV-2 infection because testing efforts are currently not detecting all infec ...

FuzzGen: Automatic Fuzzer Generation

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing is a testing technique to discover unknown vulnerabilities in software. When applying fuzzing to libraries, the core idea of supplying random input remains unchanged, yet it is non-trivial to achieve good code coverage. Libraries cannot run as stan ...

The influence of casting position and disturbance induced by reinforcement on the structural concrete strength

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

It is well known that control specimens used to assess the concrete strength of new structures have different casting and curing conditions than those of actual structures. Notably, after pouring of the concrete and before its hardening, a number of phenom ...

Metabolic and hemodynamic changes in the activated human brain and cerebellar organisation measured by MRS/MRl at 7 Tesla

Yohan Boillat

Although less often investigated than the positive blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal, a negative BOLD signal has also been observed under certain conditions, which could have a neuronal origin. To further investigate the negative BOLD signal from ...

The detection of two-component mixture alternatives : Theory and methods

Daria Rukina

In this thesis, we deal with one of the facets of the statistical detection problem. We study a particular type of alternative, the mixture model. We consider testing where the null hypothesis corresponds to the absence of a signal, represented by some kno ...

Development of Bidirectional Cyclic Lateral Loading Protocols for Experimental Testing of Steel Wide-Flange Columns

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

Steel columns in frame buildings subjected to earthquake shaking undergo bidirectional lateral drift demands. Till now, the majority of past experimental and numerical studies were primarily concerned with the unidirectional column behavior. This paper pro ...

Exogenous Coordination of Concurrent Software Components with JavaBIP

Simon Bliudze, Anastasia Mavridou, Radoslaw Szymanek, Alina Zolotukhina

A strong separation of concerns is necessary in order to make the design of domain-specific functional components independent from cross-cutting concerns, such as concurrent access to the shared resources of the execution platform. Native coordination mech ...
