Abstract
Designing deployable and resilient network topologies from natural language requirements remains a challenging problem in network automation. This work investigates the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate structurally valid and constraint-compliant network topologies through a constraint-driven pipeline combining hierarchical modeling and systematic validation. The framework is evaluated via a multimodel comparison of proprietary and open-weight LLMs across four realistic network scenarios released as a public dataset. We assess structural correctness using node and edge F1-scores against reference topologies, and evaluate resilience through server and content connectivity metrics. In addition, we analyze common failure modes, including interface mismatches and directional inconsistencies in generated topologies. Overall, this work provides a systematic benchmark for understanding how LLMs handle structural and resilience constraints in topology synthesis, and supports informed model selection for AI-driven network design.
Investigating how experienced developers use agents in building software, including their motivations, strategies, task suitability, and sentiments finds that while experienced developers value agents as a productivity boost, they retain their agency in software design and implementation out of insistence on fundamental software quality attributes.
An adaptive surrogate modeling method for problems with very high-dimensional spatio-temporal outputs is developed that combines exploration and exploitation to improve the surrogate model accuracy with the fewest possible runs of the expensive physics-based model.

This review provides a systematic literature review of LLM-based Verilog code generation, analyzing 102 papers (70 published and 32 high-quality preprints) from SE, AI, and EDA venues and outlines a roadmap highlighting potential opportunities in LLM-assisted hardware design.
This work introduces Behavior-Outcome Freedom (F), a pre-synthesis diagnostic of signed behavior-outcome rank mismatch, and formalizes its candidate-conditional role through Signed Anchor-Rank Transfer, which preserves validated capability resources, removes runtime orchestration, and conditionally inherits pipeline guidance using a calibrated rule over F.
