During post-silicon validation, manufactured integrated circuits are extensively tested in actual system environments to detect design bugs. Bug localization involves identification of a bug trace (a sequence of inputs that activates and detects the bug) and a hardware design block where the bug is located. Existing bug localization practices during post-silicon validation are mostly manual and...

BACKGROUND e-Bug is an educational resource which teaches children and young people about microbes, hygiene, infection, and prudent antibiotic use. The e-Bug resources are available in over 22 different languages and they are used widely across the globe. The resources can be accessed from the e-Bug website. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the usage of the e-Bug website i...

Bug resolution refers to the activity that developers perform to diagnose, fix, test, and document bugs during software development and maintenance. Given a bug report, we would like to recommend the set of bug resolvers that could potentially contribute their knowledge to fix it. We refer to this problem as developer recommendation for bug resolution. In this paper, we propose a new and accura...

Static code checkers have been useful for finding bugs in large-scale C code. Domain-specific checkers are particularly effective in finding deep/subtle bugs because they can make use of domain-specific knowledge. To develop domain-specific checkers, however, typical bug patterns in certain domains must first be extracted. This paper explores the use of machine learning to help extract bug patt...

Plant germplasm collections may offer genetic variability useful in identifying insect resistance. The goal of this project was to evaluate buffalograss genotypes [Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] for resistance to the chinch bug, Blissus occiduus Barber (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), and to relate resistance to ploidy level, chinch bug number, and pubescence. Forty-eight buffalograss genotypes fr...

Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius L. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), are a fast-growing urban pest of significant public health importance in the United States and many other countries. Yet, there is very little field research on the ecology of this pest due to its near absence in the United States and most developed nations for several decades. We investigated characteristics of the bed bug infestation and ...

Networks-on-chips (NoCs) is the main trend and solution to provide higher communication bandwidth and more efficient transaction mechanism for larger chip multiprocessors (CMPs). Since the complexity and size of the chip is growing faster, postsilicon verification becomes a big problem. In this paper, we propose an advanced solution called packet tracking to help debugging and improve observabi...

Mining technique finds hidden patterns from the data stored in the repositories and turn it into useful information and knowledge. Most open source software development projects include an open bug repository in which users of the software can gain full access. Training data size for bug priority classification using SVM.In this paper, calculate the precision and recall of different features ca...

In many C programs, debugging requires significant effort and can consume a lot of time. Even if the bug’s cause is known, detecting a bug in such programs and generating a bug fix patch manually is a tedious task. In this paper, we present a novel approach used to generate bug fixes for buffer overflow automatically using static execution, code patch patterns, quick fix locations, user input s...

There are more and more bug reports in software. Software companies and developers invest a large number of resources into the dramatic accumulation of reports. We introduce Bayes classifier into bug reports compression, which is the first effort in the literature. For this purpose, the vector space model as well as some conventional text mining values, such as tf-idf and chi-squared test, are ...
