Watching training videos passively leads to superficial learning. Adding gamification can increase engagement. We study how software engineering students and industry practitioners view gamifying video-based training. We conducted a survey…
Coding agents are increasingly used as application builders, yet many evaluations still focus on source code, repository-level tests, or intermediate traces rather than the delivered application. We introduce WebGameBench, a…
In higher education, gamification offers the prospect of providing a pivotal shift from traditional asynchronous forms of engagement, to developing methods to foster greater levels of synchronous interactivity and partnership between and…
Designing Internet of things (IoT) applications (apps) is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of the systems on which these apps are deployed. Personal data, often classified as sensitive, may be collected and analysed by IoT apps,…
With the continuous growth of the internet market, games are becoming more and more popular worldwide. However, increased market competition for game demands developers to write more efficient games in terms of performance, security, and…
Privacy is an increasingly feeble constituent of the present datafied world and apparently the reason for that is clear: powerful actors worked to invade everyone's privacy for commercial and surveillance purposes. The existence of those…
A common goal in the areas of secure information flow and privacy is to build effective defenses against unwanted leakage of information. To this end, one must be able to reason about potential attacks and their interplay with possible…
This paper presents a game based on storytelling, in which the players are faced with ethical dilemmas related to software engineering specific issues. The players' choices have consequences on how the story unfolds and could lead to…
Current Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interfaces (MI-BCI) require a lengthy and monotonous training procedure to train both the system and the user. Considering many users struggle with effective control of MI-BCI systems, a more…
Robotics education fosters computational thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, but remains challenging due to technical complexity. Game-based learning (GBL) and gamification offer engagement benefits, yet their comparative impact…
With the surge in mobile gaming, accurately predicting user spending on newly downloaded games has become paramount for maximizing revenue. However, the inherently unpredictable nature of user behavior poses significant challenges in this…
Developer experience is an important concern for software organizations as enhancing developer experience improves productivity, satisfaction, engagement and retention. We set out to understand what affects developer experience through…
Differential privacy is an information theoretic constraint on algorithms and code. It provides quantification of privacy leakage and formal privacy guarantees that are currently considered the gold standard in privacy protections. In this…
Serious games and gamification (SGG) have shown to have positive effects on health outcomes of eHealth applications. However, research has shown that a shift towards a personalized approach is needed, considering the diversity of users.…
In modern technology environments, raising users' privacy awareness is crucial. Existing efforts largely focused on privacy policy presentation and failed to systematically address a radical challenge of user motivation for initiating…
While Privacy by Design (PbD) is prescribed by modern privacy regulations such as the EU's GDPR, achieving PbD in real software systems is a notoriously difficult task. One emerging technique to realize PbD is Runtime enforcement (RE), in…
Learning theories emphasize the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators in curricula, and games are a promising way to provide both while constructing the game and presenting or sharing it in public or with a community. New…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has been demonstrated suitable to develop agents that play complex games with human-level performance. However, it is not understood how to effectively use RL to perform cybersecurity tasks. To develop such…
Developers have to write thorough tests for their software in order to find bugs and to prevent regressions. Writing tests, however, is not every developer's favourite occupation, and if a lack of motivation leads to a lack of tests, then…
We provide ongoing results from the development of a personalized learning system integrated into a serious game. Given limited instructor resources, the use of computerized systems to help tutor students offers a way to provide higher…
