Sample Student

My personal contributions involve having read the following papers:

• title: Identifying the characteristics of vulnerable code changes: an empirical study
  • Author list: Bosu, Amiangshu and Carver, Jeffrey C. and Hafiz, Munawar and Hilley, Patrick and Janni, Derek
  • Summary: This paper talks about the characteristics that surround vulnerabilities and their remediation. It does not include code changes.
• title: Patchworking: Exploring the code changes induced by vulnerability fixing activities
  • Author list: Canfora, Gerardo and Di Sorbo, Andrea and Forootani, Sara and Martinez, Matias and Visaggio, Corrado A.
  • Summary: Utilizes ASTs to capture structural code changes but then simply tabulates the percentage of types of operations without capturing an actual remediation pattern.
