Software engineering is extremely information-intensive. Every day developers work with source code, version repositories, issue trackers, documentation, web-based and other information resources. However, three key aspects of information…
Secure and efficient communication to establish a seamless nexus between the five levels of a typical automation pyramid is paramount to Industry 4.0. Specifically, vertical and horizontal integration of these levels is an overarching…
When designing a new API for a large project, developers need to make smart design choices so that their code base can grow sustainably. To ensure that new API components are well designed, developers can learn from existing API components.…
Effective road infrastructure management is crucial for modern society. Traditional manual inspection techniques remain constrained by cost, efficiency, and scalability, while camera and laser imaging methods fail to capture subsurface…
DevOps is a modern software engineering paradigm that is gaining widespread adoption in industry. The goal of DevOps is to bring software changes into production with a high frequency and fast feedback cycles. This conflicts with software…
Although cloud computing has been transformational to the IT industry, it is built on large data centres that often consume massive amounts of electrical power. Efforts have been made to reduce the energy clouds consume, with certain data…
DevOps and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are interconnected with each other. DevOps is a business-driven approach to providing quickly delivered quality software, and AI is the technology that can be used in the system to enhance its…
Context: Refactoring is recognized as an effective practice to maintain evolving software systems. For software libraries, we study how library developers refactor their Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), especially when it impacts…
AI agents and business automation tools interacting with external web services require standardized, machine-readable information about their APIs in the form of API specifications. However, the information about APIs available online is…
The demand for rapid software delivery in the Information Technology (IT) industry has significantly intensified, emphasising the need for faster software products and service releases with enhanced features to meet customer expectations.…
Fault injection is a key technique for assessing software reliability, enabling proactive detection of system defects before they manifest in production. However, the increasing complexity of microservice architectures leads to exponential…
Background: Requirement engineering is often considered a critical activity in system development projects. The increasing complexity of software, as well as number and heterogeneity of stakeholders, motivate the development of methods and…
Web APIs provide a systematic and extensible approach for application-to-application interaction. A large number of mobile applications makes use of web APIs to integrate services into apps. Each Web API's evolution pace is determined by…
Increasing number of cyber-attacks demotivate people to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for industrial as well as day to day work. A main reason for the increasing number of cyber-attacks is mistakes that programmers make…
Cloud services must typically be distributed across a large number of machines in order to make use of multiple compute and storage resources. This opens the programmer to several sources of complexity such as concurrency, order of message…
Continuous integration (CI) tools integrate code changes by automatically compiling, building, and executing test cases upon submission of code changes. Use of CI tools is getting increasingly popular, yet how proprietary projects reap the…
Lack of experience, inadequate documentation, and sub-optimal API design frequently cause developers to make mistakes when re-using third-party implementations. Such API misuses can result in unintended behavior, performance losses, or…
The ever-increasing acceleration of technology evolution in all fields is rapidly changing the architectures of data-driven systems towards the Internet-of-Things concept. Many general and specific-purpose IoT platforms are already…
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) or Web Services are the foundational building blocks that enable interconnected systems. However this proliferation of APIs has also introduced security challenges that require systematic and…
Data integration is an important task in order to create comprehensive RDF knowledge bases. Many data sources are used to extend a given dataset or to correct errors. Since several data providers make their data publicly available only via…
