Data streaming relies on continuous queries to process unbounded streams of data in a real-time fashion. It is commonly demanding in computation capacity, given that the relevant applications involve very large volumes of data. Data…

Social Coding Sites (SCSs) are social media services for sharing software development projects on the Web, and many open source projects are currently being developed on SCSs. One of the characteristics of SCSs is that they provide a…

Collecting API examples, usages, and mentions relevant to a specific API method over discussions on venues such as Stack Overflow is not a trivial problem. It requires efforts to correctly recognize whether the discussion refers to the API…

Pervasive Online Social Networks (POSNs) are the extensions of Online Social Networks (OSNs) which facilitate connectivity irrespective of the domain and properties of users. POSNs have been accumulated with the convergence of a plethora of…

Network structures, consisting of nodes and edges, have applications in almost all subjects. A set of nodes is called a community if the nodes have strong interrelations. Industries (including cell phone carriers and online social media…

Despite seemingly performant web agents on the task-completion benchmarks, most existing methods evaluate the agents based on a presupposition: the web navigation task consists of linear sequence of actions with an end state that marks task…

Function as a Service (FaaS) paradigm is becoming widespread and is envisioned as the next generation of cloud systems that mitigate the burden for programmers and cloud solution architects. However, the FaaS abstraction only makes the…

Networks or graphs are widely used across the sciences to represent relationships of many kinds. igraph (https://igraph.org) is a general-purpose software library for graph construction, analysis, and visualisation, combining fast and…

The rapid adoption of pervasive and mobile computing has led to an unprecedented rate of data production and consumption by mobile applications at the network edge. These applications often require interactions such as data exchange,…

Stream processing is extensively used in the IoT-to-Cloud spectrum to distill information from continuous streams of data. Streaming applications usually run in dedicated Stream Processing Engines (SPEs) that adopt the DataFlow model, which…

As the amount of scientific data continues to grow at ever faster rates, the research community is increasingly in need of flexible computational infrastructure that can support the entirety of the data science lifecycle, including…

Open Artificial Intelligence (Open source AI) collaboratives offer alternative pathways for how AI can be developed beyond well-resourced technology companies and who can be a part of the process. To understand how and why they work and…

Community detection is a fundamental problem in social network analysis consisting in unsupervised dividing social actors (nodes in a social graph) with certain social connections (edges in a social graph) into densely knitted and highly…

In the era of information technology, the two developing sides are data science and artificial intelligence. In terms of scientific data, one of the tasks is the extraction of social networks from information sources that have the nature of…

This study tackles the challenges associated with interpreting Application Programming Interface (API) documentation, an integral aspect of software development. Official API documentation, while essential, can be lengthy and challenging to…

Understanding social dynamics that govern human phenomena, such as communications and social relationships is a major problem in current computational social sciences. In particular, given the unprecedented success of online social networks…

We provide an overview of PSI ("a Private data Sharing Interface"), a system we are developing to enable researchers in the social sciences and other fields to share and explore privacy-sensitive datasets with the strong privacy protections…

The Web is becoming more and more a wide software framework on which each one can compose and use contents, software applications and services. It can offer adequate computational resources to manage the complexity implied by the use of the…

The increased popularity and ubiquitous availability of online social networks and globalised Internet access have affected the way in which people share content. The information that users willingly disclose on these platforms can be used…

In the current era of Big Data, data engineering has transformed into an essential field of study across many branches of science. Advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have broadened the scope of data engineering and opened up new…
