Comparison of Statistical Calculations for Software Model Analysisijcoa
Software engineering is the latest and most complicated discipline of engineering. Current software engineering is based on empirical practices, while theoretical research and investigation into foundations of software engineering have long been left behind. Theoretical software engineering studies the nature of software, mathematical models of software architecture, mechanism of software behaviors, methodologies of large scale software development and laws behind software behaviors and software engineering practices. The main part of software development is using a software models to find a systematic and disciplined way of the solutions for a given project. This paper focuses on fundamental theory of different lifecycle models with the cross comparison of statistical calculation for software model analysis with emphasis on the dependency of activities on phases. We used a mechanism for finding the dependency matrices between the different phases of different models. In this paper we devised a methodology for estimating the occurrence relationship between the activities with its correlation and regression. Finally we have given the comparison of statistical calculation for dependency values among different models.

Paper abstract:
Research on social network sites has examined how people integrate offline and online life, but with a particular emphasis on their use by friendship groups. We extend earlier work by examining a case in which offline ties are non-existent, but online ties strong. Our case is a study of bodybuilders, who explore their passion with like-minded offline 'strangers' in tightly integrated online communities. We show that the integration of offline and online life supports passion-centric activities, such as bodybuilding.

Design and evaluation of an interactive proof-of-concept dashboard for genera...Robin De Croon
Targeted follow-up meetings in general practice are important and missed often, because of both patient and general practitioners (GPs) related reasons. In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept interactive visualization dashboard that provides GPs with a powerful, yet easy to use method to identify those patients in need of follow-up. We applied a user centered, rapid prototyping methodology with 12 information visualization students and 15 GPs. We evaluated the final design using the evaluation framework by O’Leary et al., as well as a System Usability Scale questionnaire. Results indicate that there is indeed a need for a follow-up tool and that a dashboard is a right kind of tool. Our proof-of-concept shows useful insights into patient records and can indeed help GPs recognize patients in need of follow-up. The major strengths of the design are the ease with which GPs can query patient records using interactive visualizations, such as parallel coordinates, and the ability to check if the number of patients diagnosed with certain diseases differs from the amount predicted in evidence-based guidelines.
The Human, the Eye and the Brain : Unifying Relevance Feedback for User Mode...Sampath Jayarathna
Accurate models of user interest are valuable in personalizing the presentation of the often large
quantity of information relevant to a query or other form of information requests. A user often
interacts with multiple applications while working on a task. User models can be developed
individually at each of the individual applications, but there is no easy way to come up with a
more complete user model based on the distributed activity of the user. In this talk, I will
introduce a novel unification framework for relevance feedback in adaptive information access;
practically these models provide context for user interactions with everyday applications for user
interest modeling. To tackle the cold-start problem in personalization, I will show how we can
take advantage of many existing interactions combining various implicit and explicit relevance
feedback indicators in a multi-application environment. I will also present a framework
expanding the use of human eye movements as a source of implicit relevance feedback for user
interest modeling.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

The aim of activity-based computing is precisely to help users to manage the
complex set of actions, tools, materials, resources, and people involved in an
activity by introducing an explicit representation of the activity into the computer
system.
The principle of activity-centered resource aggregation simply states that activity-based computing needs to support this bundling of relevant resources and services. In hospitals where a great number of electronic medical systems are used, a given activity might, for example, encompass the electronic patient record (EPR), access to lab request applications, medical images, lab results, medical observations such as blood pressure, etc.
These services and resources may come from many different sources but all are
part of a single activity, which is what gives them meaning to the clinicians
involved.
In activity-based computing,
the term “activity awareness” denotes the principle that the computer system
maintains information about the users’ real-world activities.
This awareness is used to give the user easy access to appropriate resources and tools. Links
between particular activities and work contexts can be created to facilitate
resumption of relevant activities.
In this article we have presented the principles, design, and evaluation of
activity-based computing support for hospital work. The principles of activity-based
computing have emerged through ongoing collaboration with clinicians
working in large hospitals. Studies and design sessions with these clinicians
pointed to a set of challenges associated with the use of computers in hospital
work.
