This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant award of $143,139 to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) supports the development of an automated framework called REPSON. The goal is to improve the efficiency of reproducing system-level concurrency bugs from bug reports by generating executable inputs and identifying potential buggy interleavings of system calls. The project involves empirical analysis of open-source bug repositories to characterize system-level concurrency bugs, followed by the creation of the REPSON framework that leverages natural language processing, data mining, and dynamic program analysis techniques. The project aims to reduce the manual burden on software developers in debugging these types of bugs, which frequently occur in modern software systems. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026.
