Nudge the Judge: Uncovering Program Decision Hijacking in Real-World Jev Applications

System One models such as Jev change how software makes decisions by mapping open-ended semantic contexts into structured judgments that directly drive program execution. However, this paradigm introduces a new security risk, which we term Jev Program Decision Hijacking (JPDH): attacker-controlled contexts can redirect...

SWEPatchTest: Evaluating Software Tests Beyond Reproduction

Coding agents use generated tests to decide whether a proposed patch satisfies an issue's requirements. A suite that fails on the buggy program and passes after applying the reference patch can still accept an incorrect patch or reject a correct patch. We introduce SWEPATCHTEST, a test-generation benchmark with 619 tas...

When Agent Evaluation Becomes Unreliable: An Empirical Study of Oracle Failures and Configuration-Dependent Measurement in an LLM Agent Benchmark

Agent evaluation harnesses are software systems that run test suites, generate inputs, and decide outcomes with test oracles. This paper audits such software for reliability defects that score tables cannot reveal. We introduce an oracle-integrity auditing approach with five state-integrity invariants and three known-a...

The Singularity Has a Distribution: Exact Timing Laws and Detection Limits for a Stochastic Intelligence Explosion

Automating AI research creates a positive feedback loop between software capability and research effort. We study a stochastic realisation of this loop in which independent, positive, multiplicative improvements arrive at a rate proportional to a power of current capability. Within this model, randomness leaves the det...

Agentic4PDM: Host-Governed Evidence Admissibility for Industrial Fault Diagnosis

We study industrial fault diagnosis as a classification task that assigns sensor time-series windows to predefined health states or fault types. Scarce labels and changing operating conditions make repeated training of specialized classifiers costly. Yet structures such as periodicity, trends, and transients can remain...

The Role of Environmental Total Quality Management in Enhancing Organizational Excellence: An Exploratory Study of the Opinions of a Sample of Administrative Leaders at the Technical Administrative Institute – Nineveh / Northern Technical University

The present study sought to shed light on the role played by Environmental Total Quality Management as an independent variable, with its dimensions (top management commitment, customer focus, and teamwork), in enhancing Organizational Excellence as a dependent variable with its dimensions (leadership, strategy, and hum...

7.AO.BUR_945_Place de l’échographie doppler obstétricale dans la prise en charge de la pré-éclampsie

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a complication of pregnancy, burdened with heavy maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. It complicates 2–8% of pregnancies worldwide [1–3]. In addition to the clinical and biological monitoring of mother and child, doppler ultrasound is an essential tool and makes it possible to asse...

Large language model multiagent systems for industrial problem discovery and prioritization

A persistent gap separates academic research priorities from the operational challenges faced by manufacturing firms. Established identification methods, among them Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) workshops, Lean audits and consultant engagements, are episodic, bounded by participant expertise and organised al...

Directed forgetting and working-memory load reduce outcome-selective Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer in humans

In outcome-selective Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT), reward-related cues selectively energize instrumental responding for associated outcomes. In humans, this effect has been attributed both to automatic associative processes and to cognitive inferences about which rewards are available in the presence of a c...

A RISK-BASED QUALITY ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK FOR FHIR-BASED CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: ALIGNING VERIFICATION EFFORT WITH CLINICAL CONSEQUENCE

Verification effort for FHIR-based clinical systems can be allocated by clinical consequence rather than by test-suite convention, extending quality obligations into the operational-behavior layer where specification-conformant systems have been shown to fail.

Requirements Don’t Live in Isolation: What We’re Exploring with Req-Space

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…

Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering

AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering. The post Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering appeared first on GPT-Lab.
