The emerging trend of network devices with configurable data planes is pushing software switches as convenient playgrounds for experimenting novel programming paradigms and abstractions. OfSoftSwitch is a popular tool for carrying on such experimentation, as it provides a straightforward implementation of a pipeline of match-action tables. Unfortunately, OfSoftSwitch is not performance oriented and...
Consumer-grade RGB-D cameras capture RGB images along with per-pixel depth information, and because of their limited cost and ability to measure distances at a high frame rate, have been used in robotics and computer vision application. However, drawbacks include the repeatability and accuracy of RGB-D cameras for object detection and localization. This paper investigates and compares RGB-D cameras'...
With the rapid increase in data and its complexity of configuration and deployment bring a new challenge to the research community. In this scenario, automatic Hadoop cluster deployment and management tool provide a new horizon which plays a vital role in resource and packet management in distributed environment. This paper describes a low-cost Automatic Hadoop Cluster Deployment and Management tool...
Expert finding would be useful for a recommendation system which people want to find experts in a specific area. This paper proposes a model to identify focus research areas of computer science researchers thru their publications. We collect title, abstract and keywords of academic papers published in IEEE Xplore digital library of selected researchers from computer science departments of four universities...
Software Effort Estimation is key to the success of any project since all downstream activities such as planning, budgeting, developing and Monitoring cannot be executed without clarity on the scope of the activity that needs to be performed. This is a tertiary study that follows the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) process as put forth by Kitchenham in her seminal paper, based on five criteria:...
There are many function modules in the numerical control (NC) system, the system needs to communicate with each other through the data interaction among modules, to coordinate the work between modules and complete the control task. In this paper, the main function module structure of NC system is constructed based on RCS method. The communication between the NC system modules is realized by using...
Regression testing is an important part of software development, but it can be very time consuming. Regression test selection (RTS) aims to speed up regression testing by running only impacted tests—the subset of tests that can change behavior due to code changes. We present STARTS, a tool for STAtic Regression Test Selection. Unlike dynamic RTS, STARTS requires no code instrumentation or runtime...
The purpose of this article is to study the dynamic reconfiguration in FPAA and, because of its potential, its academic applications. State driven and algorithmic reconfiguration methods have been considered during this work. Since these devices are not as well-known as FPGA, it is interesting to study its characteristics and abilities. The algorithmic method has been developed, obtaining conclusions...
One of the most important things in project management is using the most suitable tools and methods in an effective way for project success. The available tools for software project management mainly focus on planning, time management, team management, collaboration, and tracking the development progress. However, there is a lack of supporting mechanisms to guide managers and decision makers for making...
On the financial side, a key factor for the success of a smart-city initiative is the low cost of the sensors. On the technical side, the units need to be flexible enough to cover different roles, and to be reconfigurable for a distinct target. The capability to interact with an already deployed infrastructure, like a preexistent web-server, is a favorable feature from both the financial and technical...
Numerical software is used in a wide variety of applications including safety-critical systems, which have stringent correctness requirements, and whose failures have catastrophic consequences that endanger human life. Numerical bugs are known to be particularly difficult to diagnose and fix, largely due to the use of approximate representations of numbers such as floating point. Understanding the...
Developers neglect to update legacy software dependencies, resulting in buggy and insecure software. One explanation for this neglect is the difficulty of constantly checking for the availability of new software updates, verifying their safety, and addressing any migration efforts needed when upgrading a dependency. Emerging tools attempt to address this problem by introducing automated pull requests...
Protecting data confidentiality and integrity has become increasingly important in modern software. Sometimes, access control mechanisms come short and solutions on the application-level are needed. An approach can rely on enforcing information security using some features provided by certain programming languages. Several different solutions addressing this problem have been presented in literature,...
Traditional pulsar signal processing software's object types, object parameters, task parameters, and settings of task types are fixed. Once the users want to add the object types, object parameters and task parameters, they must rechange the software interface code. This mode makes a high cost of developing the software, as well as the insufficient flexibility of using. This system, taking the independent...
In the paper we describe a formalization of the notion of a nominative data with simple names and complex values in the Mizar proof assistant. Such data can be considered as a partial variable assignment which allows arbitrarily deep nesting and can be useful for formalizing semantics of programs that operate in real time environment and/or process complex data structures and for reasoning about the...
Systematising requirements reuse is a key step to raise the efficiency and maturity level in Requirements Engineering (RE), which is even better when centred on a repository of common artefacts like templates and patterns that allow people to build and share a strong reference framework. The aim of this tool demo is to show how to deploy an approach combining a local library for each analyst and a...
Studies of code repositories have long been used to understand the use of programming languages and to provide insight into how they should evolve. Such studies can highlight features that are rarely used and can safely be removed to simplify the language. Conversely, combinations of features that are frequently used together can be identified and possibly replaced with new features to improve the...
Due to severe power and timing constraints of the "things" in the Internet of things (IoT), cryptography is expensive for these devices. Custom hardware provides a viable solution. However, implementations of cryptographic algorithms in the devices need to be upgraded frequently compared to the longevity of these "things". Therefore, there is a critical need for reconfigurable,...
Modern programming languages, such as Java and C#, typically provide features that handle exceptions. These features separate error-handling code from regular source code and aim to assist in the practice of software comprehension and maintenance. Having acknowledged the advantages of exception handling features, their misuse can still cause reliability degradation or even catastrophic software failures...
The measurement of software quality, including the preparation and management of the necessary resources and libraries, is a major challenge in continuous software quality measurement and assessment. When applying code analysis tools to a large number of projects, the preparation of the source code and its dependencies, focusing on the completeness of these elements, is the basis for correct analysis...
