Browsing online continues to pose a risk to the users’ privacy and security. There is a plethora of existing tools and solutions that aim at ensuring safe and private browsing but they are not used by the majority of the users due to the lack of ease of ...

In this paper, we introduce I³DE (Inconsistency Inspecting IDE) --- an IDE plugin to inspect inconsistencies in PL/SQL code. We first observed the potential issues, e.g., misuses or bugs, that are introduced by the inconsistent understanding of PL/SQL ...

In recent years, a large variety of online communication tools have emerged, including social Virtual Reality (VR) platforms for interacting in a virtual world with participants being represented as virtual avatars. Given their popularity, an active area ...

eBPF is a popular technology originating from the Linux kernel that enables safely running user-provided programs in a kernel-context. This technology opened the door for efficient programming in the operating system, especially in its network stack. ...

Physiological measurement of player experience (PX) during gameplay has been of increasing interest within game research circles. A commonly-used non-invasive wearable device for physiological measurement is the Empatica E4 wristband, which offers ...

During Android application development, ensuring adequate security is a crucial and intricate aspect. However, many applications are released without adequate security measures due to the lack of vulnerability identification and code verification ...

Screen reader plugins are small pieces of code that blind users can download and install to enhance the capabilities of their screen readers. This article aims to understand why blind users use these plugins, as well as how these plugins are developed, ...

Recent works proposed to dynamically extend protocol implementations through protocol plugins. While addressing deployment issues, they raise safety concerns (do they terminate, do they act maliciously,. . . ). To fill this gap, a system distributing ...

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is the temperature found in the outermost layer of the soil surface. Information about LST is very important because LST is a factor that can influence global climate change. There are several ways that can be used to ...

Managing and limiting cluster resource usage is a critical task for computing clusters with a large number of users. By enforcing usage limits, cluster managers are able to ensure fair availability for all users, bill users accordingly, and prevent the ...

Application requirements evolve over time and the underlying protocols need to adapt. Most transport protocols evolve by negotiating protocol extensions during the handshake. Experience with TCP shows that this leads to delays of several years or more ...

Several robust performance systems have been created for parallel machines with the ability to observe diverse aspects of application execution on different hardware platforms. All of these are designed with the objective to support measurement methods ...

Securing information systems has become a high priority as our reliance on them increases. Global multi-billion dollar companies have their critical information regularly exposed, costing them money and impairing their users' privacy. To defend against ...

We present quantitative analyses performed on character-level program edit and execution data, collected in a junior-level data structures and algorithms course. The goal of this research is to determine whether proposed measures of student behaviors ...

Digital image processing systems are complex, being usually composed of different computer vision libraries. Algorithm implementations cannot be directly used in conjunction with algorithms developed using other computer vision libraries. This paper ...

Amalia.js is a new extensible and versatile HTML5 multimedia player that allows you to view any type of metadata synchronized with your video or audio streams. It manages metadata that are localized both temporally and spatially. They can also be ...

The characteristics and implementation of a complete software bundle consisting of a room acoustics measurement tool, an application for the calculation of the room correction filters and a plugin for real time audio filtering is described. Via this ...

The paper presents iTrace, an Eclipse plugin that implicitly records developers' eye movements while they work on change tasks. iTrace is the first eye tracking environment that makes it possible for researchers to conduct eye tracking studies on large ...

The massive access to the Internet has changed the way we interact and relate. Social networks registered a massive adoption. Free and open source software (FOSS) eases the diffusion of social networks. Moreover, FOSS content management systems (CMS) ...

This work provides an overview and comparison of the currently available tools for testing in OSGi environment such as Pax-Exam, JUnit4OSGi or Spring DM. We developed a plugin for JUnit4OSGi that allows to generate basic skeletons of tests from ordinary ...
