Beyond C/C++: Probabilistic and LLM Methods for Next-Generation Software Reverse Engineering
This proposal discusses the growing challenges in reverse engineering modern software binaries, particularly those compiled from newer system programming languages such as Rust, Go, and Mojo. Traditional reverse engineering techniques, developed with a focus on C and C++, fall short when applied to these newer languages due to their reliance on outdated heuristics and failure to fully utilize the rich semantic information embedded in binary programs. These challenges are exacerbated by the limi…

Human-Machine Interfaces for Subsea Telerobotics: From Soda-straw to Natural Language Interactions
This review explores the evolution of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) in subsea telerobotics, charting the progression from traditional first-person "soda-straw" consoles -- characterized by narrow field-of-view camera feeds -- to contemporary interfaces leveraging gesture recognition, virtual reality, and natural language processing. We systematically analyze the state-of-the-art literature through three interrelated perspectives: operator experience (including immersive feedback, cognitive wo…

An extension of C++ with memory-centric specifications for HPC to reduce memory footprints and streamline MPI development
The C++ programming language and its cousins lean towards a memory-inefficient storage of structs: The compiler inserts helper bits such that individual instance variables fit to byte or cache boundaries, while it is not able to exploit knowledge about the range of integers, enums or bitsets. Furthermore, the language provides neither support for data exchange via MPI nor for arbitrary floating-point precisions. We propose C++ attributes through which developers can guide the compiler what memo…
