Software vulnerabilities continue to grow in volume and remain difficult to detect in practice. Although learning-based vulnerability detection has progressed, existing benchmarks are largely function-centric and fail to capture realistic,…
This paper presents the third edition of the LongEval Lab, part of the CLEF 2025 conference, which continues to explore the challenges of temporal persistence in Information Retrieval (IR). The lab features two tasks designed to provide…
Research software refers to software development tools that accelerate discovery and simplifies access to digital infrastructures. However, although research software platforms can be built increasingly more innovative and powerful than…
Small to medium-scale data science experiments often rely on research software developed ad-hoc by individual scientists or small teams. Often there is no time to make the research software fast, reusable, and open access. The consequence…
With the proliferation of the data warehouses as supportive decision making tools, organizations are increasingly looking forward for a complete data warehouse success model that would manage the enormous amounts of growing data. It is…
Autonomous research systems increasingly make the scientific workflow executable: agents can propose ideas, run code, inspect results, and draft papers. But executable workflows do not by themselves produce research judgment. We analyze…
Secondary analysis or the reuse of existing survey data is a common practice among social scientists. Searching for relevant datasets in Digital Libraries is a somehow unfamiliar behaviour for this community. Dataset retrieval, especially…
In the current landscape of big data, the reliability and performance of storage systems are essential to the success of various applications and services. as data volumes continue to grow exponentially, the complexity and scale of the…
With the continuous increase of online services as well as energy costs, energy consumption becomes a significant cost factor for the evaluation of data center operations. A significant contributor to that is the performance of database…
The heterogeneity in the organization of software engineering (SE) research historically exists, i.e., funded research model and hands-on model, which makes software engineering become a thriving interdisciplinary field in the last 50…
In April 2016, a community of researchers working in the area of Principles of Data Management (PDM) joined in a workshop at the Dagstuhl Castle in Germany. The workshop was organized jointly by the Executive Committee of the ACM Symposium…
Optimising use of the Web (WWW) for LHC data analysis is a complex problem and illustrates the challenges arising from the integration of and computation across massive amounts of information distributed worldwide. Finding the right piece…
As the use of technology increases and data analysis becomes integral in many businesses, the ability to quickly access and interpret data has become more important than ever. Information retrieval technologies are being utilized by…
Interconnected computers and software systems have become an indispensable part of people's lives, therefore software quality research is becoming more and more important. There have been multiple attempts to synthesize knowledge gained in…
The importance of continuously incorporating customer feedback in the software development process is well established and firmly grounded in concepts such as agile and DevOps. In large-scale organizations such as Dell Technologies however,…
An information agent is viewed as a deductive database consisting of 3 parts: an observation database containing the facts the agent has observed or sensed from its surrounding environment, an input database containing the information the…
AI application developers typically begin with a dataset of interest and a vision of the end analytic or insight they wish to gain from the data at hand. Although these are two very important components of an AI workflow, one often spends…
Computer-based information technologies have been extensively used to help many organizations, private companies, and academic and education institutions manage their processes and information systems hereby become their nervous centre. The…
Over the past decade there has been a significant growth in bioinformatics databases, tools and resources. Although, bioinformatics is becoming more specific, increasing the number of bioinformatics-wares has made it difficult for…
Context: Championed by IBM's vision of autonomic computing paper in 2003, the autonomic computing research field has seen increased research activity over the last 20 years. Several conferences and workshops have been established and have…
