Developers rely on third-party library Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) when developing software. However, libraries typically come with assumptions and API usage constraints, whose violation results in API misuse. API misuses may…

Smart contract technology is reshaping conventional industry and business processes. Being embedded in blockchains, smart contracts enable the contractual terms of an agreement to be enforced automatically without the intervention of a…

Mobile applications play an important role in the economy today and there is an increasing trend for app enablement on multiple platforms. However, creating, distributing, and maintaining an application remain expert tasks. Even for…

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are essential tools for social work researchers aiming to harness advanced technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI services. This paper demystifies APIs and illustrates how they…

Mobile app development has become the front line in software engineering. With the recent years many smartphone platforms have grew including but not limited to webOS, blackberry os, Tizen, android, and iOS. The coexistence of these…

Developers use Question and Answer (Q&A) websites to exchange knowledge and expertise. Stack Overflow is a popular Q&A website where developers discuss coding problems and share code examples. Although all Stack Overflow posts are free to…

Blockchains are maintained by a network of participants that run algorithms designed to maintain collectively a distributed machine tolerant to Byzantine attacks. From the point of view of users, blockchains provide the illusion of…

This report summarizes our findings regarding a severe weakness in implementations of the Open Mobile API deployed on several Android devices. The vulnerability allows arbitrary code coming from a specially crafted Android application…

While many students now interact with web apps across a variety of smart devices, the vast majority of our Nifty Assignments still present traditional user interfaces such as console input/output and desktop GUI. In this tutorial session,…

Software developers study and reuse existing source code to understand how to properly use application programming interfaces (APIs). However, manually finding sufficient and adequate code examples for a given API is a difficult and a…

The increased adoption of smart contracts in many industries has made them an attractive target for cybercriminals, leading to millions of dollars in losses. Thus, deploying smart contracts with detected vulnerabilities (known to…

We propose a framework to mine API usage scenarios from Stack Overflow. Each task consists of a code example, the task description, and the reactions of developers towards the code example. First, we present an algorithm to automatically…

Previous research shows that, despite its popularity, Facebook is less frequently used to share academic content. In order to investigate this discrepancy we set out to explore engagement numbers through their Graph API by querying the…

To realize reliable quantum software, techniques to automatically ensure the quantum software's correctness have recently been investigated. However, they primarily focus on fixed quantum circuits rather than the procedure of building…

Obtaining the desired dataset is still a prime challenge faced by researchers while analyzing Online Social Network (OSN) sites. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by OSN service providers for retrieving data impose several…

The fast-paced evolution of Android APIs has posed a challenging task for Android app developers. To leverage Android's frequently released APIs, developers must often spend considerable effort on API migrations. Prior research and Android…

Developers prefer to utilize third-party libraries when they implement some functionalities and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are frequently used by them. Facing an unfamiliar API, developers tend to consult tutorials as…

Modern software development depends on APIs to reuse code and increase productivity. As most software systems, these libraries and frameworks also evolve, which may break existing clients. However, the main reasons to introduce breaking…

In recent years, decentralized applications (dApps) built on blockchain platforms such as Ethereum and coded in languages such as Solidity, have gained attention for their potential to disrupt traditional centralized systems. Despite their…

Context: Smart contracts are computerized self-executing contracts that contain clauses, which are enforced once certain conditions are met. Smart contracts are immutable by design and cannot be modified once deployed, which ensures…
