Survey of evolutionary kernel fuzzing by Yan SHI, Weizhong QIANG, Deqing ZOU, Hai JIN

“…Fuzzing is a technique that was used to detect potential vulnerabilities and errors in software or systems by generating random, abnormal, or invalid test cases.When applying fuzzing to the kernel, more complex and challenging obstacles were encountered compared to user-space applications.The kernel, being a highly intricate software system, consists of numerous interconnected modules, subsystems, and device drivers, which presented challenges such as a massive codebase, complex interfaces, and runtime uncertainty.Traditional fuzzing methods could only generate inputs that simply satisfied interface specifications and explicit call dependencies, making it difficult to thoroughly explore the kernel.In contrast, evolutionary kernel fuzzing employed heuristic evolutionary strategies to dynamically adjust the generation and selection of test cases, guided by feedback mechanisms.This iterative process aimed to generate higher-quality test cases.Existing work on evolutionary kernel fuzzing was examined.The concept of evolutionary kernel fuzzing was explained, and its general framework was summarized.The existing work on evolutionary kernel fuzzing was classified and compared based on the type of feedback mechanism utilized.The principles of how feedback mechanisms guided evolution were analyzed from the perspectives of collecting, analyzing, and utilizing runtime information.Additionally, the development direction of evolutionary kernel fuzzing was discussed.…”

Enriched HARQ Feedback for Link Adaptation in 6G: Optimizing Uplink Overhead for Enhanced Downlink Spectral Efficiency by Aritra Mazumdar, Abolfazl Amiri, Stefano Paris, Klaus I. Pedersen, Ramoni Adeogun

“…First, our learning-driven adaptive quantization (LAQ) employs a-priori statistics to refine delta MCS quantization within fixed-size UE feedback. By tailoring quantization levels to channel-condition–based clusters, LAQ enhances downlink (DL) performance over existing techniques and provides strong out-of-distribution generalization. …”

Meaning and Function of Homework in Elementary School, its Effect on Student Achievement, Teachers’ Feedback Methods, and Parental Involvement by Erdal Küçüker, Erva Kaçar

“…Based on the findings, it was found that students had positive and negative feelings about homework, teachers, and parents built a positive relationship between homework and academic achievement, teachers' feedback methods were generally inadequate, and parents were sensitive about parental involvement in homework. …”

The Hippo pathway kinase MST1 mediates a feedback loop to maintain NLRP3 inflammasome homeostasis by Xiawei Huang, Jiahui Wang, Yao Liu, Huimin Pan, Kewei Zheng, Bo Liu

“…However, their activity must be tightly controlled to prevent overactivation and subsequent inflammatory diseases. Negative feedback loops represent a general mechanism to maintain signaling homeostasis, yet the mechanisms by which inflammasomes employ this process to prevent overactivation remain poorly understood. …”

Peer-teaching in the food chemistry laboratory: student-produced experiments, peer and audio feedback, and integration of employability skills by Julie L. Dunne

“…Student evaluation after one year suggested the case group felt more prepared for final-year research projects and work placement owing to the redesign of the laboratory assessment. This, together with general positive feedback across several indicators, was proof of concept, and was a foundation for an improved model. …”
