How Can Metaheuristics Help Software Engineers
This presentation focuses on the potential benefits that metaheuristics (Genetic Algorithms, Ant Colonies, Particle Swarm, etc.) can bring to the field of Software Engineering (SE). For this to...

Full STEAM ahead: Putting an A fully and inseparably into STEAM practices for Software Design
Continued growth in the human well-being has long been seen to depend on continuing advances in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). However, in the last...

The Snap! (Build Your Own Blocks) Programming Environment
Snap! (formerly BYOB) is a visual, drag-and-drop programming language. It is an extended reimplementation of "Scratch" (a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab)...

Parallel Computing 101: An overview of multiprocessor, multicore, and GPU programming
Traditionally, software has been written for serial computing where a computational problem is broken into a discrete series of instructions; then these instructions are executed...

Can Formal Methods (alone) Rescue HPC Debugging?
High Performance Computing systems are extremely complex ensembles of CPUs and GPUs, powering supercomputers that help understand and manage the earth. The same compute power permeates...
Keeping Science on Keel when Software Moves
Significant investments are made into the creation and maintenance of high-performance computing software, involving dozens of computer scientists and domain scientists working hard over...

The Coming of Age of Flow-Based Microfluidics: EDA Solutions for Enabling Biochemistry on a Chip
As the design complexity rapidly increases, the manufacture and the biochemical analysis of flow-based microfluidic biochip become more complicated. According to recent study, the biochips...

Inverse Kinematics
Inverse kinematics is the mathematical process for calculating the movement of objects. This is useful in a whole range of fields, from engineering and robotics to medical analysis and...
Opportunities and Challenges in Teaching Video Games in Higher Education
This lecture discusses the opportunities and challenges of video game curricula. The talk explores the diversity of the subject from both an artistic and technical perspective - centred around...

Selfie and the Basics
Imagine a world in which virtually everyone at least intuitively understands the fundamental principles of information and computation. In such a world computing would be as natural to people as...

IEEE 802.15.4e for IoT Applications: An Overview
IEEE 802.15.4, was initially developed for coping with the requirements of low power and low data rate communication for wireless personal area networks, which then was adopted as a...

Performance analysis and optimization
With the rise of complex systems that run on a large number of devices on server farms, performance analysis has become ever so important. Having a comprehensive knowledge of different abstraction...
Performance analysis and optimization of C++ standard libraries
C++ standard libraries are some of the most widely running system libraries on consumer devices and server machines. Most engineers assume the performance of standard libraries are as good...

Cyber-security the Journey from Formal Methods, Program Analysis, Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence to Blockchain
Cyber-security is a complex system research, which requires the knowledge across all layers of the computer architecture. In this talk, I would like to share our attempts to solve security...

Security Testing (Fuzzing) with Blackbox, Greybox and Whitebox Techniques
Security Testing (a.k.a. fuzzing) has recently become the popular technique in hunting for vulnerabilities. But to make it more effective and directly applied in real projects, there is still a...

Rapid Recovery Architecture and Virtual Machine Contracts
Many seemingly innocent actions can render your personal computer unusable and the road to recovery can be painful. For example, reinstall the OS (if you know how), reinstall the...

Software Development in Large Organizations
Large organizations can leverage the economies of scale in a number of ways, particularly in the area of Software Engineering. DevOps, which evolved as a dominant Software Engineering...

Translation Validation: Automatically Proving the Correctness of Translations Involving Optimized Code
An early system for proving that programs written in a high level language are correctly translated to a low level language is described. A primary use of the system is as a postoptimization step...
