Several news outlets reported the amazing discovery of a 1970s Fourth Edition Research Unix magnetic tape. I incorporated the tape’s source code into the Unix History Repository hosted on GitHub and studied the code’s composition. Here's what I found. www.spinellis.gr/blog/2025122...

Our paper titled "Clotho: Measuring Task-Specific Pre-Generation Test Adequacy for LLM Inputs" has been accepted into FSE 2026. I am pretty excited about this, so wrote up what it means here: coinse.github.io/2025/12/22/C... TLDR: we can now use surprise adequacy for LLMs, PRE-generation!

Certain albums were always circulating among my close friends back in the days + transition to streaming means that I didn’t even realise some essentials were missing from my collection. I think Lars Grunske would approve my purchase but only in half (because he would go for South of Heaven)…

A happy news to start the day - our work with SAP got accepted into ICSE SEIP 2026. We show that an LLM agent can effectively localise the root causes of SAP HANA crashes, given only crash dumps. It feels great to show that the agentic approach works in a realistic context (35MLoC in this case).

ICST has always took pride in the diversity of workshop it offers - please help us continue the tradition in 2026 :)

International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE)@aseconf.bsky.social · 11mo ago

ASE’25 registration is open! ⌛️ Early registration deadline: Oct 15 (less than a month left!). Come to Seoul for the food, the connections, and of course… the research! 😉

Meet Soha, another proceedings co-chair at #ASE2025 💫 She’s an Assistant Professor at Ain Shams University, Egypt, and is passionate about all aspects of building reliable programs. ⌨️ Thrilled to have her on board for ASE'25!

Meet Yannic, Proceedings Co-Chair of #ASE2025! He’s helping manage the publication process together with Soha Hussein. 💪 Co-organizer of #FUZZING’26 👨‍💻 Passionate about improving software quality @yannicnoller.bsky.social

The #ASE25 venue, Grand Walkerhill Seoul, is located on the eastern side of Seoul, right next to the Han River. Nearby, you’ll find Achasan Mountain, a lovely spot for a short hike. If you have some free time, take a walk up with your colleagues and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of Seoul 💙

You can reach the venue by taxi or public bus, or take advantage of the free shuttle bus that runs every 15 minutes from Gangbyeon Station (Line 2) or Gwangnaru Station (Line 5). More info: www.walkerhill.com/grandwalkerh...

Meet Ben, Doctoral Symposium Co-Chair & D&I Chair at #ASE2025 — his research focuses on secure software engineering and yes, he sails 😎⛵!

Here’s our other Program Co-Chair, Lingming Zhang (@llingming.bsky.social) from UIUC! “Playing with software” sounds like the perfect spirit for ASE! :-)

Meet Marcel Böhme (@mboehme.bsky.social), our Program Co-Chair of ASE 2025! 😉 Together with his fellow chair, Lingming Zhang (UIUC), he is overseeing the Research Track submissions.

Applications Open: ASE 2025 Student Volunteers 🕐 ~20 hrs of service during conference week 🎟️ Free ASE registration (SV covers student reg fee; if you have a paper, one co-author must register at full rate) 👕 ASE 2025 T-shirt + more! Please share this with your students and networks! Apply here ⤵️

Off to Trondheim. Hope to see many people there!

I've been joking about how I wrote a first-author paper after such a long time. Now the reality is hitting back, and the idea of giving a 10 minute talk is actually a bit daunting, knowing that I am prone to go over time :p

Here's something that I am genuinely excited about. We propose a graph-like representation for executions of LLM agents called semantic flow. Intuitively speaking, it connects clusters of latent vectors which are embeddings of LLM outputs. Will appear at FSE 2025 IVR track. arxiv.org/abs/2503.10310

🎉 HUGE NEWS! 🎉 #ASE2025 has received a record-breaking 1,190 submissions – the most EVER for a single-cycle top SE conference! 🤯 Massive thanks to all authors who submitted. Looking forward to what promises to be an unforgettable conference with an incredible program 🔥!
