Practical taint-based protection using demand emulation
Many software attacks are based on injecting malicious code into a target host. This paper demonstrates the use of a wellknown technique, data tainting, to track data received fro...

Does calling structure information improve the accuracy of fault prediction?
Previous studies have shown that software code attributes, such as lines of source code, and history information, such as the number of code changes and the number of faults in pr...

A Formal Approach to Test the Robustness of Embedded Systems using Behaviour Analysis
Robustness is an important feature required for embedded systems. This paper presents a methodology to test robustness of such systems. We investigate system behaviour aspects. We...

Why PCs Are Fragile and What We Can Do About It: A Study of Windows Registry Problems
Software configuration problems are a major source of failures in computer systems. In this paper, we present a new framework for categorizing configuration problems. We apply thi...

Predicting faults using the complexity of code changes
Predicting the incidence of faults in code has been commonly associated with measuring complexity. In this paper, we propose complexity metrics that are based on the code change p...
