The development Open Source Software fundamentally depends on the participation and commitment of volunteer developers to progress. Several works have presented strategies to increase the on-boarding and engagement of new contributors, but…

Meta-heuristic algorithms are widely used to tackle complex optimization problems, including nonlinear, multimodal, and high-dimensional tasks. However, many existing methods suffer from premature convergence, limited exploration, and…

Volunteer computing has been known as an alternative solution to solve complex problems. It is acknowledged for its simplicity and its ability to work on multiple operating systems. Nonetheless, setting up a server for volunteer computing…

This paper describes the software implementation of genetic algorithm for identifying and selecting most relevant results received during sequentially executed subject search operations. Simulated evolutionary process generates sustainable…

Increasingly, keyword, natural language and NoSQL queries are being used for information retrieval from traditional as well as non-traditional databases such as web, document, image, GIS, legal, and health databases. While their popularity…

We design a family of program analyses for JavaScript that make no approximation in matching calls with returns, exceptions with handlers, and breaks with labels. We do so by starting from an established reduction semantics for JavaScript…

We present a suite of experiments that allow us to understand the underlying challenges of language model adaptation to nonstandard text. We do so by designing interventions that approximate core features of user-generated text and their…

Context: Software engineering is becoming more and more distributed. Developers and other stakeholders are often located in different locations, departments, and countries and operating within different time zones. Most online software…

In this paper, we introduce the JavaScript Open-source Library (\libname), a high-level grammar for representing data in visualization graphs and plots. \libname~perspective on the grammar of graphics is unique; it provides state-of-art…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical, heterogeneous, connected devices providing services through private networks and the Internet. It connects a range of new devices to the Internet so they can communicate with Web…

A large number of engineering, science and computational problems have yet to be solved in a computationally efficient way. One of the emerging challenges is how evolving technologies grow towards autonomy and intelligent decision making.…

This paper deals with the distributed processing in the search for an optimum classification model using evolutionary product unit neural networks. For this distributed search we used a cluster of computers. Our objective is to obtain a…

To implement modern web applications, a new family of JavaScript frameworks has emerged, using the MVC pattern. Among these frameworks, the most popular one is AngularJS, which is supported by Google. In spite of its popularity, there is…

Developers are starting to write large and complex applications in TypeScript, a typed dialect of JavaScript. TypeScript applications integrate JavaScript libraries via typed descriptions of their APIs called declaration files.…

Selenium WebDriver is a library that allows controlling web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, etc.) programmatically. It provides a cross-browser programming interface in several languages used primarily to implement end-to-end tests for web…

Analyzing the code evolution of software systems is relevant for practitioners, researchers, and educators. It can help practitioners identify design trends and maintenance challenges, provide researchers with empirical data to study…

In this paper, we explore the feasibility of finding algorithm implementations from code. Successfully matching code and algorithms can help understand unknown code, provide reference implementations, and automatically collect data for…

Nondeterminism introduced by race conditions and message reorderings makes parallel and distributed programming hard. Nevertheless, promising approaches such as LVars and CRDTs address this problem by introducing a partial order structure…

Research has shown that cryptography concepts are hard to understand for developers, and secure use of cryptography APIs is challenging for mainstream developers. We have developed a fluent API named FluentCrypto to ease the secure and…

The advantages of evolutionary algorithms with respect to traditional methods have been greatly discussed in the literature. While particle swarm optimizers share such advantages, they outperform evolutionary algorithms in that they require…
