SUMMARY:Public defense: Robbert Jongeling’s doctoral thesis
DESCRIPTION:The public defense of Robbert Jongeling’s doctoral thesis in Computer Science will take place at Mälardalen University\, room Gamma (Västerås Campus) at 13:30 on 2nd December 2022\, title: \nLightweight consistency checking for advancing continuous model-based development in industry\nThe faculty examiner is Professor Antonio Vallecillo\, UMA\, Spain. \nThe examining committee consists of Professor Ileana Ober\, IRIT/University of Toulouse\, France; Dr Henrik Lönn\, Volvo\, Sweden and Professor Manuel Wimmer\, JKU\, Austria. \nReserve is Professor Alessandro Papadopoulos\, MDU\, Sweden. \nSummary\nThe engineering of modern software‐intensive systems requires collaboration between many people in many different disciplines. To effectively design and communicate\, these engineers create a large number of development artefacts throughout the system development\, such as models\, informal diagrams\, and textual\ndescriptions. These artefacts describe the intended structure and behaviour of systems. Contradictions between the artefacts or misunderstandings based on the understandings of engineers and what is captured in the artefacts can lead to unmet requirements\, bugs\, overruns of development budget and time\, or even system\nfailures. \nInconsistencies between these development artefacts occur continuously throughout the system’s development and maintenance\, simply due to the incremental nature of the development of artefacts. To prevent the inconsistencies causing the earlier mentioned bad outcomes\, it is often desirable to check to what extent various development artefacts are consistent with each other\, that is\, if they contain contradicting information about the same aspects of the system. \nThe potential informality and incompleteness of models and other development artefacts\, in combination with a strife for shorter development iterations\, presents challenges to consistency checking approaches. In this thesis\, we consider model‐based development settings in which short development cycles are aspired. We show a tight coupling between introducing short development cycles and the need for increased support for consistency checking across models and other artefacts. In particular\, we identify the need for lightweight consistency\nchecking approaches\, which we break down into four required aspects. \nThis thesis supplements the literature on consistency checking by providing industrial perspectives in the following two ways. First\, we survey industrial settings and present the various needs for consistency checking based on a broad range of settings and scenarios. Moreover\, we use these industrial settings to define in what aspects a consistency checking approach should be lightweight to enable its industrial adoption. Second\, we include detailed experiences of iintroducing lightweight consistency checks in industrial settings. In summary\, this thesis presents contributions to consistency management in complex industrial settings to facilitate the adoption of continuous model-based development. \nRead more at the MDU web site:\nhttps://www.mdu.se/en/malardalen-university/calendar/2022/the-public-defense-of-robbert-jongelings-doctoral-thesis-in-computer-science \nVideo: “From informal architecture diagrams to flexible blended models” by Robbert Jongeling\nThis video is a short summary of the paper “From informal architecture diagrams to flexible blended models” by Robbert Jongeling from Mälardalen University.

This type of attack is obviously not detectable via frame-level analysis\, which makes most currently proposed detection systems useless. As the attack is based on CAN protocol weaknesses\, all CAN bus implementations by all manufacturers were\, and are\, vulnerable. \nAfter showing a proof-of-concept\, we will move on to the much harder part of proposing a possible countermeasure for detecting and preventing such an attack\, along with our implementation experience and some thoughts around this and other attacks that may arise from the CAN bus protocol itself. \nWe will also outline our research on anomaly detection for CAN networks based on LSTM autoencoders\, as well as our evaluation of the best combination of different IDS techniques to increase detection performances in real world scenarios. \nWe will also briefly discuss our upcoming research accepted at CCS 2022\, related to CAN polyglots. \nBio: Stefano Zanero received a PhD in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, where he is currently an associate professor at the Dipartimento di Elettronica\, Informazione e Bioingegneria. His research focuses on malware analysis\, cyberphysical security\, and cybersecurity in general. Besides teaching “Computer Security” and “Digital Forensics and Cybercrime” at Politecnico\, he has an extensive speaking and training experience in Italy and abroad. He co-authored over 90 scientific papers and books. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and sits in the Board of Governors of the IEEE Computer Society; he is a lifetime senior member of the ACM\, which has named him a Distinguished Speaker; and has been named a Fellow of the ISSA (Information System Security Association). Stefano is also a co-founder and chairman of Secure Network\, a leading cybersecurity assessment firm\, and a co-founder of BankSealer\, a startup in the FinTech sector that addresses fraud detection through machine learning techniques. \nCan Language Models Help to Design more Cybersecure Software?\nMiroslaw Staron\nAbstract: Working with cybersecurity entails analysis of source code and identifying vulnerabilities in the code base. Usually\, this is done using dedicated tools and/or during dedicated testing scenarios. The analyses are based on pre-defined rules\, developed by cybersecurity specialists and security engineers. However\, the number of cybersecurity threats grows faster than the number of tools and rules defined in them. In this talk\, we explore the idea of using modern language models (e.g.\, GPT-3) to design tools for identifying vulnerabilities based on parsing source code provided in CVE/CWEs. As these models have shown large potential for identifying similarities in other use cases (e.g.\, to identify design patterns)\, there is a potential for use of these models to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities in source code. \nBio: Miroslaw Staron is a Professor in Software Engineering at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Gothenburg\, Sweden. He obtained his PhD in Software Engineering in 2005 from Blekinge Institute of Technology. His research interests are centered around industrial software engineering with the emphasis on software metrics\, measurement processes and model driven software engineering. Dr. Staron has been collaborating with Ericsson\, Volvo Information Technology\, Telelogic\, Volvo Car Corporation\, RUAG Space and recently Saab AB. \nInterplay between Safety and Cybersecurity in Vehicle Development: Pierre Kleberger\nAbstract: In this talk\, we look at the challenges in interplay between safety and cybersecurity and assess whether these processes can be aligned and improved for the automotive domain. We also assess cybersecurity mechanisms’ impact on safety – which mechanisms may improve safety or may actually have a negative impact on vehicle safety. Finally\, we conclude by highlighting possible ways forward. \nBio: Pierre Kleberger is a researcher in the Dependable Transport Systems Unit at RISE. His main research area is in automotive cybersecurity and interplay between safety and cybersecurity. Pierre received his PhD from Chalmers University of Technology in 2015 working on securing vehicle diagnostics and in-vehicle networks of connected cars. \nCyberattacks: Modeling\, Analysis\, and Mitigation: Sara Abbaspour\nAbstract: Industrial cybersecurity has risen as an important topic of research nowadays. The heavy connectivity by the Internet of Things (IoT) and the growth of cyberattacks against industrial assets cause this rise and attract attention to the cybersecurity field. While fostering current software applications and use-cases\, the ubiquitous access to the Internet has also exposed operational technologies to new and challenging security threats that need to be addressed. As the number of attacks increases\, their visibility decreases. An attack can modify the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) quality to avoid proper quality assessment. They can disrupt the system design process and adversely affect a product’s design purpose. \nIn this talk\, we explore our proposed approach on how to model\, analyze\, and mitigate cyberattacks in CPSs. We model the normal behavior of the application as well as cyberattacks with the help of the Microsoft threat modeling approach (STRIDE) and Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA). The results can be used to improve the system design to overcome the vulnerabilities. \nBio: Sara Abbaspour is an associated senior lecturer and researcher working in the Cyber-Physical Systems Analysis group at Mälardalen University in Västerås\, Sweden. Her main research interests include safety and security-relevant cyber-physical systems; Debugging\, testing and runtime verification of concurrent and parallel software. She was a Post Doc researcher from 2018 until 2020 at Mälardalen University. She has completed her PhD and defended her PhD thesis entitled “Concurrency Bugs: Characterization\, Debugging and Runtime Verification” in 2018. Before starting PhD\, she worked as a researcher and developer in various aspects of the industrial environment such as Mobile Development Systems\, Smart Cards and RFID Technologies\, Software System Testing and Multimedia Technologies. \nIntegrating Design-time and Run-time Methods for Detecting Cyber-Attacks: Marjan Sirjani\nAbstract: In this talk I will explain our method for detecting cyber-attacks on CPS using formal verification at design time\, and runtime monitoring during operation. We develop a monitor that uses an abstract digital twin\, the so-called Tiny Twin\, to detect false sensor data and faulty control commands. The Tiny Twin is a state transition diagram that represents the required behavior of the system\, observable from the monitor point of view. We model the components of the system and the physical processes using Rebeca modeling language and use its model checker to generate the state space. The Tiny Twin is built automatically by reducing the state space\, keeping the observable behavior of the system\, and preserving the trace equivalence. Lingua Franca language is used to develop the system and run the simulations. I show the method using a few case studies. In our future work we will focus on causality and finding the sources of anomalies and vulnerabilities. We will also focus on human interactions with the systems and trustworthiness. \nBio: Marjan Sirjani is a Professor at Mälardalen University\, and the leader of Cyber-Physical Systems Analysis research group. Her main research interest is applying formal methods in Software Engineering. She works on modeling and verification of concurrent\, distributed\, timed\, and self-adaptive systems. Marjan and her research group are pioneers in building model checking tools\, compositional verification theories\, and state-space reduction techniques for actor-based models. She has been working on analyzing actors since 2001 using the modeling language Rebeca (http://www.rebeca-lang.org). Her research is now focused on safety and security assurance and performance evaluation of cyber-physical and autonomous systems. Marjan has been the PC member and PC chair of several international conferences including SEFM\, iFM\, Coordination\, FM\, FMICS\, SAC\, FSEN\, and DATE. She is an editor of the journal of Science of Computer Programming. \nAccess Control in Dynamic Industrial Automation and Control Systems: Björn Leander\nAbstract: Industrial control systems are undergoing a transformation driven by business requirements as well as technical advances\, aiming towards increased connectivity\, flexibility and high level of modularity\, which consequently implies a need to revise existing cybersecurity measures. Access control\, being one of the major security mechanisms in any system\, is largely affected by these advances. Certain system types will by their nature be dynamic\, i.e.\, the composition and functionality of the system is not well defined at design time. This short talk will describe current challenges and provide some solutions in the area of access control policy formulation and enforcement in such dynamic systems. \nBio: Björn Leander graduated as a M.Sc in Computer Science and Control Theory\, from Luleå University of Technology in 2002. After working with many aspects of software development\, he started at ABB in 2014\, where he now works as a cybersecurity engineer at ABB Industrial Automation\, Process Control Platform\, working in R&D projects related to engineering and control. In 2019 he continued his academic career as an industrial PhD Student at Mälardalen University as part of the ARRAY postgraduate school. His research area is within the intersection of industrial automation systems\, the industrial internet and cybersecurity\, with an orientation toward access control. \nAccess On the Power of Smart Contracts—The Good and The Bad: Ghada Almashaqbeh\nAbstract: Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology continue to build innovative computing models and economic tools that can reshape the services and systems around us. Fueled by the huge interest this technology received\, researchers and practitioners alike are racing to build new applications and improve existing ones. Smart contracts facilitate this process; individuals can deploy arbitrary code on a blockchain\, allowing for trustless collaboration between participants under terms enforced by the contract execution. More recently\, the concept of oracles has been introduced; these are external services that supplement a smart contract with information about real-world events. \nThis talk will explore the role of smart contracts in two topics: The good\, namely\, distributed resource markets that facilitate a blockchain to build decentralized digital services\, e.g.\, file storage and online content delivery. We will discuss the security and performance challenges such markets encounter. And the bad\, namely\, criminal smart contracts\, where smart contracts combined with oracles can be used to orchestrate collaborative attacks against real world targets (such as DDoS\, ransomware\, murder\, etc.). The talk will discuss this concept and a framework that we devised to show how such attacks can be performed. \nBio: Ghada Almashaqbeh is an assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Connecticut. Her research interests span cryptography\, privacy\, and systems security with a large focus on blockchains and their applications. Ghada received her PhD from Columbia in 2019. Before joining UConn\, she spent a while exploring the entrepreneurship world; she was a Cofounder and Research Scientist at CacheCash\, and then a Cryptographer at NuCypher. Ghada is an affiliated member at the Connecticut Advanced Computing Center (CACC) and the Engineering for Human Rights Initiative at UConn\, and a scientific advisor for Sunscreen Tech and The Melon. \nA Software Engineer’s take on Safety\, Assurance and Reliability: Marsha Chechik\n\nAbstract: From financial services platforms to social networks to vehicle control\, software has come to mediate many activities of daily life. Governing bodies and standards organizations have responded to this trend by creating regulations and standards to address issues such as safety\, security and privacy. In this environment\, the compliance of software development to standards and regulations has emerged as a key requirement. Compliance claims and arguments are often captured in assurance cases\, with linked evidence of compliance. Evidence can come from test cases\, verification proofs\, human judgment\, or a combination of these. That is\, we try to build (safety-critical) systems carefully according to well-justified methods and articulate these justifications in an assurance case that is ultimately judged by a human. \nBuilding safety arguments for traditional software systems is difficult — they are lengthy and expensive to maintain\, especially as software undergoes change. Safety is also notoriously non-­compositional — each subsystem might be safe but together they may create unsafe behaviors. It is also easy to miss cases\, which in the simplest case would mean developing an argument for when a condition is true but missing arguing for a false condition. Furthermore\, many ML-based systems are becoming safety-critical. For example\, recent Tesla self-driving cars misclassified emergency vehicles and caused multiple crashes. ML-based systems typically do not have precisely specified and machine-verifiable requirements. While some safety requirements can be stated clearly: “the system should detect all pedestrians at a crossing”\, these requirements are for the entire system\, making them too high-level for safety analysis of individual components. Thus\, systems with ML components (MLCs) add a significant layer of complexity for safety assurance. \nI argue that safety assurance should be an integral part of building safe and reliable software systems\, but this process needs support from advanced software engineering and software analysis. In this talk\, I outline a few approaches for development of principled\, tool-supported methodologies for creating and managing assurance arguments. I then describe some of the recent work on specifying and verifying reliability requirements for machine-learned components in safety-critical domains. \nBio: Marsha Chechik is Professor in the Department of Computer Science\, and Acting Dean in the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland. Prof. Chechik’s research interests are in the application of formal methods to improve the quality of software. She has authored over 200 papers in formal methods\, software specification and verification\, computer safety and security and requirements engineering.

SUMMARY:ARTE 2022: International Workshop on Applied Research\, Technology Transfer and Knowledge Exchange in Software and Data Science
DESCRIPTION:The workshop ‘Applied Research\, Technology Transfer and Knowledge Exchange in Software and Data Science (ARTE)’ is a unique event to facilitate the discussion and knowledge exchange on applied research collaborations between industry and academic partners in the overarching disciplines of software and data science. The workshop aims to highlight\, share\, and document experiences\, lessons learned\, and best practices related to technology transfer and knowledge exchange. On the one hand\, this should increase the awareness and understanding about critical tasks\, success factors\, potential pitfalls\, challenges and opportunities in applied research projects and\, on the other hand\, it will provide an environment to generate new opportunities for future collaborations. We would especially like to invite participants and organizations at the intersection of basic research and industry or business to share their experiences. \nSoftware Center is active in the ARTE 20222 program committee.

SUMMARY:How to succeed with communicating software metrics in the organization?
DESCRIPTION:This week we have project #37 giving a talk about How to succeed with communicating software metrics in the organization? – Five questions for managers \nSpeaker: Aleksandre Asatiani from University of Gothenburg. \nWhile software metrics are indispensable for quality assurance\, using metrics in practice is far from uncomplicated. Implementing and executing metrics are challenging tasks as it is difficult to manage the technical and human aspects of the software measurement. Based on the data from four companies\, the study identifies several bottlenecks in the process of metrics implementation and communication\, suggesting key questions managers should ask to help them success in the process. The findings also highlight the importance of trust\, control\, and transparency in communication between developers and management\, emphasizing the paramount role of an effective communication process for decision making\, based on metrics. \n__________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app \nClick here to join the meeting \nLearn More | Meeting options \n__________________________________________

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Modern use of control dependency in static program analysis
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar hosted by theme 2! \nTitle: The modern use of control dependency in static program analysis \nSpeaker: Abu Naser Masud\, Mälardalen University \nControl dependency (CD) is a fundamental concept used in many program analysis techniques such as program slicing\, debugging\, parallelization\, software testing\, detecting security leaks\, etc. Since the introduction of CD in the late eighties\, numerous extensions of the standard definition and computation methods have been developed over time to deal with the modern programming language constructs. In this talk\, I will discuss the most generalized version of control dependency\, namely weak and strong control closure\, and their implication in static program analysis. I will showcase how these concepts can be used in program slicing and detecting timing leaks (a security vulnerability) in modern software. \nMost welcome to the seminar and please share this invitation with your colleagues! \n____________________________________________________________\nMicrosoft Teams-möte \nJobba på datorn eller mobilappen \nKlicka här för att ansluta till mötet \nEller ring in (endast ljud) \n+46 8 505 218 36\,\,214060663#   Sweden\, Stockholm \nTelefonkonferens-ID: 214 060 663# \nHitta ett lokalt nummer | Återställ PIN-kod \nLäs mer | Mötesalternativ \n____________________________________________

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Test Environments for Large-Scale Software Systems
DESCRIPTION:Title: Test Environments for Large-Scale Software Systems – Intrinsic and Extrinsic Success Factors \nSpeaker: Torvald Mårtensson\, Saab AB (Software Center Project #6) \nAbstract: Based on a study including five Software Center companies\, this talk presents intrinsic and extrinsic success factors\, critical for successful implementations of test environments for large-scale and complex software systems. We find that successful implementations of test environments for large-scale software systems depend primarily on how they support the company’s business strategy\, test organization and product testability (the extrinsic success factors). Based on this\, test environments can then be optimized to improve test environment capabilities\, usability and stability (the intrinsic success factors). Furthermore\, this talk will show how challenges in the test environment are to a great extent related to hardware systems\, even though all five case study companies describe themselves as software companies. Finally\, we will describe how test environments are a vital part of the continuous integration and delivery pipeline\, and must evolve in the same way as new test cases are continuously added to the pipeline. A clear responsibility for this continuously ongoing task (central or distributed) seems to be crucial for successful implementations of efficient and effective test environments for large-scale software systems. \n____________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams-möte \nJobba på datorn eller mobilappen \nKlicka här för att ansluta till mötet \nEller ring in (endast ljud) \n+46 8 505 323 41\,\,218351957#   Sweden\, Stockholm \nTelefonkonferens-ID: 218 351 957# \n____________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Modeling and Engineering Beyond Narrow AI
DESCRIPTION:Very welcome to the Software Center lunch seminar organized by the AI Engineering theme. We have a special guest speaker this time\, Dr. Bernhard Moser\, who is the research director of the Software Competence Center in Hagenberg\, Austria: \nTitle: Modeling and Engineering Beyond Narrow AI at SCCH   \nSpeaker: Dr. Bernhard A. Moser\, Research Director\, Software Competence Center Hagenberg GmbH\, Hagenberg\, Austria \nToday’s machine intelligence is driven by the Big Data paradigm. Despite its success in recent years\, there are severe limitations for a broader scope of applicability.  We outline two directions beyond these limitations: First\, there is the problem of limited data\, which requires transfer learning to compensate for the lack of data by extracting knowledge from trained models in a similar but different setting.  Second\, there is the problem of limited semantics and contextualization of a pure statistical approach which calls for integrating linked data and relational machine learning. In this context we discuss application scenarios\, challenges and progress from ongoing research at SCCH. \nReferences: \n\nFischer\, L. Ehrlinger\, V. Geist\, R. Ramler\, F. Sobiezky\, W.

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Changing software-intensive business with ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Most welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar on May 2nd. The seminar is hosted by theme 4 (‘Customer Data and Ecosystems’)\, and we have the privilege to welcome Dr. Sami Hyrynsalmi\, LUT as our speaker. \nSpeaker: Dr. Sami Hyrynsalmi\, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT in Lahti\, Finland \nDuring the last decade\, ecosystems become a new standard way of working for businesses. Instead of working alone\, companies are working together in loose networks for adding their strengths together. Yet\, ecosystems still pose a number of open questions. This presentation takes a look on two rather different cases. The first part covers the ‘ecosystem health’ metaphor\, its problems\, and possible solutions. The second part takes a look how the ecosystem approach could perhaps be utilized in the data economy as a way to create new revenue out of existing data. \nDr. Sami Hyrynsalmi works as an Associate Professor of Software Engineering in Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT in Lahti\, Finland. He received a degree of Doctor of Science from University of Turku in 2014 and was granted the Title of Docent in Software Production and Business from the same university in 2020. Currently\, he leads a Master’s Program on Software Product Management and Business in Lahti and acts as the vice-head of the Software Engineering Department. His research interests cover software business\, especially software ecosystems and understanding the business potential of emerging technologies. \n__________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app \nClick here to join the meeting \nOr call in (audio only) \n+46 8 505 252 11\,\,672998151#   Sweden\, Stockholm \nPhone Conference ID: 672 998 151# \nFind a local number | Reset PIN \nLearn More | Meeting options \n__________________________________________________________
