Hi, will a recording of the talk be available elsewhere? I cannot use zoom but I'm interested in this talk.

Due to the need of quality assurance and > the benefit of better detecting attacks against build environments, the > practice of reproducible builds has gained popularity in many > open-source software repositories such as Debian and Bitcoin. However, > identifying the unreproducible issues remains a labour intensive and > time-consuming challenge. In this talk, we introduce a technique called > RepLoc of localizing the problematic files for unreproducible builds. > RepLoc features a query augmentation component that utilizes the > information extracted from the build logs, and a heuristic rule-based > filtering component that narrows the search scope. By integrating the > two components with a weighted file ranking module, RepLoc is able to > automatically produce a ranked list of files that are helpful in > locating the problematic files for the unreproducible builds. We have > implemented a prototype and conducted extensive experiments over 671 > real-world unreproducible Debian packages in four different categories. > After introducing the localization of unreproducible builds, the talk > presents several of our efforts that address the reproduction of > software behaviors. > > # Bio > Jifeng Xuan is a professor at the School of Computer Science, Wuhan > University, China.
