Complex structures are typical in machine learning. Tailoring learning algorithms for every structure requires an effort that may be saved by defining a generic learning procedure adaptive to any complex structure. In this paper, we propose…

The mathematical modeling of generics in Java and other similar nominally-typed object-oriented programming languages is a challenge. In this short paper we present the outline of a novel order-theoretic approach to modeling generics, in…

The increasing complexity of software supply chains and the rise of supply chain attacks have elevated concerns around software integrity. Users and stakeholders face significant challenges in validating that a given software artifact…

Worked examples (solutions to typical programming problems presented as a source code in a certain language and are used to explain the topics from a programming class) are among the most popular types of learning content in programming…

Large repositories of source code for research tend to limit their utility to static analysis of the code, as they give no guarantees on whether the projects are compilable, much less runnable in any way. The immediate consequence of the…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for automated code refactoring tasks. Although these models can quickly refactor code, the quality may exhibit inconsistencies and unpredictable behavior. In this article, we systematically…

Readability models and tools have been proposed to measure the effort to read code. However, these models are not completely able to capture the quality improvements in code as perceived by developers. To investigate possible features for…

The emergence of online open source repositories in the recent years has led to an explosion in the volume of openly available source code, coupled with metadata that relate to a variety of software development activities. As an effect, in…

We introduce program splicing, a programming methodology that aims to automate the commonly used workflow of copying, pasting, and modifying code available online. Here, the programmer starts by writing a "draft" that mixes unfinished code,…

In today's software development landscape, the extent to which Java applications utilize object-oriented programming paradigm remains a subject of interest. Although some researches point to the considerable overhead associated with object…

Sun and the CERT recommend for secure Java development to not allow partially initialized objects to be accessed. The CERT considers the severity of the risks taken by not following this recommendation as high. The solution currently used…

This paper presents a proposal (story) of how statically detecting unreachable objects (in Java) could be used to improve a particular runtime verification approach (for Java), namely parametric trace slicing. Monitoring algorithms for…

Following code style conventions in software projects is essential for maintaining overall code quality. Adhering to these conventions improves maintainability, understandability, and extensibility. Additionally, following best practices…

Text serialization is a fundamental concept in modern computing, enabling the conversion of complex data structures into a format that can be easily stored, transmitted, and reconstructed. This paper provides an extensive overview of text…

Integration techniques for combining programs written in distinct language paradigms facilitate the implementation of specialised modules in the best language for their task. In the case of Java-Prolog integration, a known problem is the…

Code readability and software complexity are important software quality metrics that impact other software metrics such as maintainability, reusability, portability and reliability. This paper presents an empirical study of the…

Code cloning plays a very important role in open-source software engineering. The presence of clones within a project may indicate a need for refactoring, and clones between projects are even more interesting, since code migration takes…

A major part of debugging, testing, and analyzing a complex software system is understanding what is happening within the system at run-time. Some developers advocate running within a debugger to better understand the system at this level.…

There are many initiatives in presents-days for interaction between Java and Prolog programming languages. These initiatives allow combine two programming paradigms, Object Oriented Programming and Logic Programming. Every proposed…

With an ever-increasing amount of open source software, the popularity of services like GitHub that facilitate code reuse, and common misconceptions about the licensing of open source software, the problem of license violations in the code…
