Record Linkage is the process of identifying and unifying records from various independent data sources. Existing strategies, which can be either deterministic or probabilistic, often fail to link records satisfactorily under uncertainty.…
Grey-box fuzzers such as American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) are popular tools for finding bugs and potential vulnerabilities in programs. While these fuzzers have been able to find vulnerabilities in many widely used programs, they are not efficient;…
In the realm of software development, testing is crucial for ensuring software quality and adherence to requirements. However, it can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially when dealing with large and complex software systems.…
In this paper, we propose improvements in how estimation bias, e.g., the tendency towards under-estimating the effort, is measured. The proposed approach emphasizes the need to know what the estimates are meant to represent, i.e., the type…
Sequentially, the systematic processing of a significant amount of data can be necessary for input datasets to get desired outputs. In a workflow management system(WMS), usually, users build workflows by manually selecting and…
In competitive industries, a reliable yield forecasting is a prime factor to accurately determine the production costs and therefore ensure profitability. Indeed, quantifying the risks long before the effective manufacturing process enables…
The rough-set theory proposed by Pawlak, has been widely used in dealing with data classification problems. The original rough-set model is, however, quite sensitive to noisy data. Tzung thus proposed deals with the problem of producing a…
Software Release Planning (SRP) is to find, for the software, a subset of the requirements with the highest value while respecting the budget. The value of a requirement however may, to various degrees, depend on selecting or ignoring other…
Effort estimation is a complex area in decision-making, and is influenced by a diversity of factors that could increase the estimation error. The effects on effort estimation accuracy of having obsolete requirements in specifications have…
In the past few decades, the rapid development of information and internet technologies has spawned massive amounts of data and information. The information explosion drives many enterprises or individuals to seek to rent cloud computing…
Software requirements selection aims to find an optimal subset of the requirements with the highest value while respecting the project constraints. But the value of a requirement may depend on the presence or absence of other requirements…
Software quality assurance has been a heated topic for several decades. If factors that influence software quality can be identified, they may provide more insight for better software development management. More precise quality assurance…
Demand for high software reliability requires rigorous testing followed by requirement of robust modeling techniques for software quality prediction. On one side, firms have to steadily manage the reliability by testing it vigorously, the…
