Industrial recommender systems usually employ multi-source data to improve the recommendation quality, while effectively sharing information between different data sources remain a challenge. In this paper, we introduce a novel Multi-View Approach with Hybrid Attentive Networks (…
Game-like programs have become increasingly popular in many software engineering domains such as mobile apps, web applications, or programming education. However, creating tests for programs that have the purpose of challenging human players is a daunting task for automatic test …
Computer game is a billion-dollar industry and is booming. Testing games has been recognized as a difficult task, which mainly relies on manual playing and scripting based testing. With the advances in technologies, computer games have become increasingly more interactive and com…
Refactoring code manually can be complex. Several refactoring tools were developed to mitigate the effort needed to create more readable, adaptable, and maintainable code. However, most of them continue to provide late feedback, assistance, and support on how developers should im…
Refactoring software can be hard and time-consuming. Several refactoring tools assist developers in reaching more readable and maintainable code. However, most of them are characterized by long feedback loops that impoverish their refactoring experience. We believe that we can re…
Software systems are becoming increasingly configurable. A paradigmatic example is the Linux kernel, which can be adjusted for a tremendous variety of hardware devices, from mobile phones to supercomputers, thanks to the thousands of configurable features it supports. In principl…
Fuzzing is a promising approach to DBMS testing. One crucial component in DBMS fuzzing is grammar: since DBMSs enforce strict validation on inputs, a grammar improves fuzzing efficiency by generating syntactically- and semantically-correct SQL statements. However, due to the vast…
Traceability approves trace links among software artifacts based on whether two artifacts are related by system functionalities. The traces are valuable for software development, but are difficult to obtain manually. To cope with the costly and fallible manual recovery, automated…
The use of non-traditional computing devices is growing rapidly. One paradigm of interest is chemical reaction networks (CRNs) which can model and use chemical interactions for computation. These CRNs are used to develop programs at the nanoscale for applications such as intellig…
The growth in the popularity of smart contracts has been accompanied by a rise in security attacks targeting smart contracts, which have led to financial losses of millions of dollars and erosion of trust. To enable developers discover vulnerabilities in smart contracts, several …
Test-based generate-and-validate automated program repair (APR) systems generate many patches that pass the test suite without fixing the bug. The generated patches must be manually inspected by the developers, a task that tends to be time-consuming, thereby diminishing the role …
To face the climate change, Android developers urge to become green software developers. But how to ensure carbon-efficient mobile apps at large? In this paper, we introduce ecoCode, a SonarQube plugin able to highlight code structures that are smelly from an energy perspective. …
Voice-based virtual assistants are becoming increasingly popular. Such systems provide frameworks to developers on which they can build their own apps. End-users can interact with such apps through a Voice User Interface (VUI), which allows to use natural language commands to per…
With the application of deep learning (DL) in signal detection, improving the robustness of classification models has received much attention, especially in automatic modulation classification (AMC) of electromagnetic signals. A large amount of electromagnetic signal data is requ…
With the ever increasing scale and complexity of online systems, incidents are gradually becoming commonplace. Without appropriate handling, they can seriously harm the system availability. However, in large-scale online systems, these incidents are usually drowning in a slew of …
C# is the most widely used programming language among XR developers. However, only a limited number of graph-based data acquisition tools exist for C# software. XR development commonly relies on reusing existing software components to accelerate development. Graph-based visualiza…
User perceptions of national digital identity systems (NDIDs) significantly impact their use and acceptance. Previous study on the use of NDIDs has provided limited frameworks for future research, with a strong emphasis on government services as well as how the system may be impr…
Code clone detection is an important research problem that has attracted wide attention in software engineering. Many methods have been proposed for detecting code clone, among which text-based and token-based approaches are scalable but lack consideration of code semantics, thus…
Many real-world online systems expect to forecast the future trend of software quality to better automate operational processes, optimize software resource cost and ensure software reliability. To achieve that, all kinds of time series metrics collected from online software syste…
Partial code usually involves non-fully-qualified type names (non-FQNs) and undeclared receiving objects. Resolving the FQNs of these non-FQN types and undeclared receiving objects (referred to as type inference) is the prerequisite to effective search and reuse of partial code. …
