Software supply-chain attacks target components that are integrated into client applications.
Such attacks often target widely-used components, with the attack taking place via …

Recent shell-script parallelization systems enjoy mostly automated parallel speedups by
compiling scripts ahead-of-time. Unfortunately, such static parallelization is hampered by the …

Shell scripting remains prevalent for automation and data-processing tasks, partly due to its
dynamic features—eg, expansion, substitution—and language agnosticism—ie, the ability to …

We present KumQuat, a system for automatically generating data-parallel implementations
of Unix shell commands and pipelines. The generated parallel versions split input streams …

Shell programs are critical infrastructure for developers, administrators, and scientists. They
are used for all kinds of complex tasks, often as" glue" for succinctly composing existing …

We present Shear, a new system that observes and manipulates the interaction between an
application and its surrounding environment to learn a model of the behavior of the …

In the past several years, the shell has received renewed interest from the research
community. This thesis describes the work I did to advance the performance and capabilities …
