Strengthening CMMI Maturity Levels with a Quantitative Approach to Root-Cause...Luigi Buglione
This presentation discusses and analyzes the opportunity to approach a typical TQM qualitative technique such as Root-Cause Analysis (RCA), expressed with the well-known Ishikawa (or Fishbone) diagrams, in a quantitative manner. Adding a control measure at the end of each ‘cause bone’ can help decision-makers in their determination of corrective/improvement actions to take in terms of how much to introduce into the related action plan in the way of resources. The ISO 15939 Measurement Information Model can be the appropriate technique to help derive such measures, as it overcomes the intrinsic limitations of Orthogonal Defect Classification (ODC) by providing direct process improvement at ML2 on Measurement & Analysis (ME) and at ML3 on Organizational Process Focus (OPF), in particular taking care of the specific practice SP1.4 concerning the establishment of the organization’s measurement repository), as well as on the General Practice GP2.8 (Monitor & Control the Process) across all the process areas involved in each single cause-effect analysis. The communication issue is discussed, an alternative way to express Ishikawa diagrams is proposed (Mind Maps), and how Mind Maps can facilitate the diffusion of RCA and its quantitative variant (Q-RCA) into organizations, and subsequently be used by organizations, is shown.

Fake Reviews Detection using Supervised Machine LearningIRJET Journal
The document presents a study on detecting fake reviews using supervised machine learning techniques. The study applies various machine learning classifiers to identify fake reviews based on the content of reviews as well as features extracted from reviewers' behaviors.
The proposed approach involves three phases: data preprocessing, feature extraction, and feature engineering. It extracts features representing reviewers' behaviors like capital letters, punctuation, and emojis used. It then compares classifier performance on Yelp restaurant reviews in identifying fake reviews, with and without these extracted behavioral features.
The results show that classifiers generally perform better at detecting fake reviews when the extracted behavioral features are included. For example, the KNN classifier's f-score improved from 82.40% to 83.20%

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
