CCS has come to a close, and so has the first-ever SURE Workshop. We want to thank the authors, the PC, @moyix, our panel, and CCS for making SURE a success. We felt the support for this research area (the room was packed out for more than half the day). See you all next year!

Finally, stay in touch. We have an associated Discord (unorthodox, we know) to connect academics and practitioners: discord.gg/eVySXH7ZQ8 In fact, some of the attendees this year only made it due to the outreach on Discord. Come and chat!

In the special sub-area of type inferencing on binary code, Noriki's work explores the recovery of structs and how different GNN architectures may have better performance.

Indeed, LibIHT is more robust. They achieve better results on binaries that attempt to evade their analysis.
