Software evolves continuously. Its behavior must be validated by engineers who perform daily development and maintenance tasks. However, despite its high importance, information needs for validating evolving software has not been systematically studied in an industrial setting. Such lack of empirical knowledge hinders attempts to understand this fundamental practice and improve the corresponding tool...
The goal of the study is to investigate the metacognitive reading strategies in L1 and L2 among gifted students in English language. The participants were 74 gifted students enrolled in a special program for gifted students in English language in A city participated in the study. In order to compare L1 and L2 metacognitive reading strategies, the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory...
Information Retrieval (IR) identifies trace links based on textual similarities among software artifacts. However, the vocabulary mismatch problem between different artifacts hinders the performance of IR-based approaches. A growing body of work addresses this issue by combining IR techniques with code dependency analysis such as method calls. However, so far the performance of combined approaches...
Mobile devices continue to push the limits of contextually aware application intelligence. However, due to the complexity of contextual processing and programming, a centralized system that handles all mobile context processing is difficult to realize. The problem of defining such a contextual reasoning unit that uses an all-encompassing contextual ontology for all possible uses of context is not...
Monitoring user interaction activities provides the basis for creating a user model that can be used to predict user behaviour and enable user assistant services. The BaranC framework provides components that perform UI monitoring (and collect all associated context data), builds a user model, and supports services that make use of the user model. In this case study, a Next-App prediction service...
While the number of mobile apps published by app stores keeps on increasing, the quality of these apps varies widely. Unfortunately, for many apps, end-users continue experiencing bugs and crashes once installed on their mobile device. Crashes are annoying for end-users, but they denitely are for app developers who need to reproduce the crashes as fast as possible beforefinding the root cause of the...
A Dynamic Software Product Line (DSPL) aims at managing run-time adaptations of a software system. It is built on the assumption that context changes that require these adaptations at run-time can be anticipated at design-time. Therefore, the set of adaptation rules and the space of configurations in a DSPL are predefined and fixed at design-time. Yet, for large-scale and highly distributed systems,...
Behavior Modeling is always a attentive task in the complex product modeling. It is difficult to monitor different kind of behavior of a product in the physical environment. In the RFLP (Requirement Functional Logical Physical) structure, behavior modeling is accomplished in Function and Logical level. There are several ways to monitor the behavior of a product. In this paper, author made an effort...
A semi-lattice based activity model has been introduced to infer human daily activity within smart environment. For the purpose of improving the accuracy of activity recognition as well as to further study the layer function in lattice structure, we've explored the relationship between sensor and activity, and the relationship between different activities in this paper. Through the analysis of relations...
In this paper we investigate the general problem of controlling a scientic workflow service in termsof data management. We focus on the data managementproblem for the RedisDG scientific workflow engine.RedisDG is based on the Publish/Subscribe paradigmfor the interaction between the different componentsof the system, hence new issues appear for scheduling. Indeed, the Publish/Subscribe paradigm utilization...
Security of Internet of Things has become a hot research topic due to their wide deployment, their huge generated information and the increasing new runtime attacks they are facing. Thereby, applications are unaware of what security mechanisms to apply, as well as how to overcome dynamic changing attacks. Accordingly, the concept that must cope with this new security challenge has to satisfy an overall...
As cloud based platforms become more popular, it becomes an essential task for the cloud administrator to efficiently manage the costly hardware resources in the cloud environment. Prompt action should be taken whenever hardware resources are faulty, or configured and utilized in a way that causes application performance degradation, hence poor quality of service. In this paper, we propose a semantic...
There is a prominent connection between human health and human emotion. This connection has encouraged researchers to produce numerous applications in order to facilitate patients and therapists. In this paper, through a review study we highlight how the development of intelligent emotion aware e-health systems can facilitate patient's satisfaction, emotion wellbeing, and physical health, and improve...
With the growing interest in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and thanks to the programmability provided by SDN protocols like OpenFlow, network application developers have started implementing solutions to fit corporate needs, like firewalls, load balancers and security services. In this paper, we present a novel solution to answer those needs with usage control policies. We design a policy based...
Robust automatic detection of moving objects in a marine context is a multi-faceted problem due to the complexity of the observed scene. The dynamic nature of the sea caused by waves, boat wakes, and weather conditions poses huge challenges for the development of a stable background model. Moreover, camera motion, reflections, lightning and illumination changes may contribute to false detections....
Today's Enterprises are facing many challenges in the service oriented, customer experience centric and customer demand driven global environment where ICT is becoming the leading enabler and partner of the modern enterprise. In the last decade, many enterprises have invested heavily in SOA-aligned IT transformations, but not harvested what SOA promised to provide. Now the API and Microservice paradigm...
This tutorial will present two tools that can be integrated into a secure software development approach, as well as describing how custom tools can be built utilizing the same underlying tool platform.
SOS is a new model for the online in situ characterization and analysis of complex high-performance computing applications. SOS employs a data framework with distributed information management and structured query and access capabilities. The primary design objectives of SOS are flexibility, scalability, and programmability. SOS provides a complete framework that can be configured with and used directly...
Most of recommender systems build their predictions by analysing the preferences of users. However, there are many situations, such as in intelligent tutoring systems, where recommendations of pedagogical resources should rather be based on their memory. So as to infer in real time and with low involvement what has been memorized by users, we highlight in the paper the link between gaze features and...
Ensuring that service-oriented systems can adapt quickly and effectively to changes in service quality, business needs and their runtime environment is an increasingly important research problem. However, while considerable research has focused on developing runtime adaptation frameworks for service-oriented systems, there has been markedly less work on assessing the effectiveness of recommended adaptations...
