Dynamic Software Updating in Java - Comparing Concepts and Resource Demands
Dynamic software updating (DSU) is an extremely useful feature to be used during the software evolution. It can be used to reduce downtime costs, for security enhancements, profiling and testing the new functionalities. There are many researches and solutions on dynamic software updating regarding diverse problems introduced by the topic, but there is a lack of research which compare various approaches concerning supported changes and demands on re-sources. In this paper we are comparing curren…

Challenges in designing research infrastructure software in multi-stakeholder contexts
This study investigates the challenges in designing research infrastructure software for automated software publication in multi-stakeholder environments, focusing specifically on the HERMES system. Through two quantitative surveys of research software engineers (RSEs) and infrastructure facility staff (IFs), it examines technical, organizational, and social requirements across these stakeholder groups. The study reveals significant differences in how RSEs and IFs prioritize various system feat…

SysLLMatic: Large Language Models are Software System Optimizers
Automatic software system optimization can improve software speed, reduce operating costs, and save energy. Traditional approaches to optimization rely on manual tuning and compiler heuristics, limiting their ability to generalize across diverse codebases and system contexts. Recent methods using Large Language Models (LLMs) offer automation to address these limitations, but often fail to scale to the complexity of real-world software systems and applications. We present SysLLMatic, a system th…
