Lecturer at the University of Sydney, Australia. ശ്രീദേവി's Dad. I work in the junction between SE and CySec. Interested in Program Analysis, Mutation Analysis, Repair, Grammar Inference, Generation and Parsing https://rahul.gopinath.org
Adolfo, in today’s world, do we still require dedicated sections such as related work? Perhaps some of these should be taken out of the standard research paper template (aren’t these best left to automated tools?)
Thrilled to give a keynote at ACM India's ISEC'26 in Jaipur this Friday!
How do we know whether our program has no bugs if we have never seen it have any, and if we don't even have anything (i.e., an oracle) that can tell us whether a behavior is a bug or feature?
Stick around till Friday!
I am happy to report that I have been named the recipient of the
2026 Harlan D. Mills award
"For sustained contributions to software debugging, program analysis, mining software repositories, and automated test generation." This is a big award – thanks to all!

Well deserved, Marcel; Congratulations.
Congrats Andreas, well deserved!
2030 Claude blames me!
That is excellent news Bachir; Well deserved. Looking forward to your dissertation, and an excellent research career forward.

I have lost the number of times where I have used C^R on the command line, and executed a destructive command that was slightly different from the one that I intended. #bash #unix #commandline
I am at São Paulo attending ISSRE'25 issre.github.io/2025/ If you are around, please come, say "Hi" :)

This is across all fields. If you are in Computer Science and in this situation, please reach out to me (or directly to our Head of School).
Seems the Claude Opus 4 is now able to reason about the chessboard correctly! claude.ai/share/eef0ea...
Similarly, the eight pointed star is also correct in Claude Opus 4: claude.ai/public/artif...
With [Claude Opus 4--just released](claude.ai/public/artif...) it can do much better now.

Honors! Today at #ICSE2025, I received the #ACM #SIGSOFT Influential Educator Award “for significant contributions and important innovations in automated software engineering education” (such as fuzzingbook.org). Thanks to all!
We’re thrilled for @andreaszeller.bsky.social who received the ACM SIGSOFT Influential Educator Award. Andreas was honored “for significant contributions and important innovations in automated software engineering education.” cispa.de/en/zeller-in...

I am reviewing a student transcript Xi'an International University. I am curious; Has any one taken this course before?
Grok 3 (just released) seems to completely ignore the SVG part though.
This has been on the internet for eight years (Oct 2016) at least (www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMH4...). Then it keeps getting posted for every wild fire irrespective of whether there are bears in the territory or not!
This is fantastic news Andreas! well deserved!.
Happy and honored to receive the 2025 ACM SIGSOFT Influential Educator Award! The citation refers to my work on interactive textbooks such as fuzzingbook.org and debuggingbook.org. Thanks to all who helped making this possible!
Congratulations to the new #ACM Fellows of 2024, including Satish Chandra, Marsha Chechik, Derek Dreyer, Tim Menzies, Mira Mezini, Bashar Nuseibeh, Abhik Roychoudhury @abhikrc.bsky.social, and Ben Zorn. What a great year this is!

Do I trust Adobe Acrobat or Latex? Adobe says I have 11.96pt as font size but I used the incantation
