Existing approaches for program debloating often use a usage profile, typically provided as
a set of inputs, for identifying the features of a program to be preserved. Specifically, given a …

Software debloating tools seek to improve program security and performance by removing
unnecessary code, called bloat. While many techniques have been proposed, several …

Automated software debloating of program source or binary code has tremendous potential
to improve both application performance and security. Unfortunately, measuring and …

Context: Bug bisection is a common technique used to identify a revision that introduces a
bug or indirectly fixes a bug, and often involves executing multiple revisions of a project to …

DOCKER containers have been widely used by organizations because they are lightweight
and single hardware can run multiple instances of a container. However, this ease of …

To reduce the source of potential exploits, binary debloating or specialization tools are used
to remove unnecessary code from binaries. This paper presents a new binary debloating …

Software variability is largely accepted and explored in software engineering and seems to
have become a norm and a must, if only in the context of product lines. Yet, the removal of …

Software debloating tools seek to improve the program security and performance by
removing unnecessary code, called bloat. While many techniques have been proposed …

Third-party libraries are a cornerstone of fast application development. To enable efficient
use, libraries must provide a well-designed API. An obscure API instead slows down the …

Existing source code debloaters fall short due to low scalability and high runtime overhead
when applied in dynamic cloud settings, where instances are spun up on the fly. To address …
