The document proposes a new defect prediction model called the Developer Based Changes Model (DBCM) which is based on relationships between developers and changed files. It evaluates DBCM on several open source projects and finds it achieves similar accuracy to an existing approach based on number of changes. The document also combines DBCM and the existing approach, finding the combined model further improves prediction accuracy by 5% over the individual models.
Landfill is a Web-based platform for sharing code smell datasets. It also provides a set of APIs for programmatically accessing its data.
Anyone can contribute by: improving existing datasets or sharing and posting new datasets.
Test case prioritization (TCP) is aimed at finding an ideal ordering for executing the available test cases to reveal faults earlier. To solve this problem greedy algorithms and meta-heuristics have been widely investigated, but in most cases there is no statistically significant difference between them in terms of effectiveness. The fitness function used to guide meta-heuristics condenses the cumulative coverage scores achieved by a test case ordering using the Area Under Curve (AUC) metric. In this paper we notice that the AUC metric represents a simplified version of the hypervolume metric used in many objective optimization and we propose HGA, a Hypervolume-based Genetic Algorithm, to solve the TCP problem when using multiple test criteria. The results shows that HGA is more cost-effective than the additional greedy algorithm on large systems and on average requires 36% of the execution time required by the additional greedy algorithm.
This presentation is a critical analysis of the paper by Giuseppe Grossi & Anna Thomasson "Jointly owned companies as instruments of local government: comparative evidence from the Swedish and Italian water sectors".
The analysis was done during the lessons of Research Methodologies of the XVI cycle of the PhD course in Management and Information Technology at the University of Salerno.

Issues and implementation of a process for creating a false digital alibi.
The aim is to produce a state of the personal computer that confirming a false digital alibi, following the execution of an automated procedure, without leaving any traces of automation. The aim is to answer to the questions:
1) How reliable is a digital alibi?
2) May have been artificially created?
Within the project, are discussed the issues to consider while creating a false alibi on a machine running Mac OS X and is demonstrated that it is possible to produce artificially "human" traces of machine use.

Code smells are symptoms of poor design solutions applied by programmers during the development of software systems. While the research community devoted a lot of effort to studying and devising approaches for detecting the traditional code smells defined by Fowler, little knowledge and support is available for an emerging category of Mobile app code smells. Recently, Reimann et al. proposed a new catalogue of Android- specific code smells that may be a threat for the maintainability and the efficiency of Android applications. However, current tools working in the context of Mobile apps provide limited support and, more importantly, are not available for developers interested in monitoring the quality of their apps. To overcome these limitations, we propose a fully automated tool, coined aDoctor, able to identify 15 Android-specific code smells from the catalogue by Reimann et al. An empirical study conducted on the source code of 18 Android applications reveals that the proposed tool reaches, on average, 98% of precision and 98% of recall. We made aDoctor publicly available.
Search-based testing of procedural programs:iterative single-target or multi-...Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the context of testing of Object-Oriented (OO) software systems, researchers have recently proposed search based approaches to automatically generate whole test suites by considering simultaneously all targets (e.g., branches) defined by the coverage criterion (multi-target approach). The goal of whole suite approaches is to overcome the problem of wasting search budget that iterative single-target approaches (which iteratively generate test cases for each target) can encounter in case of infeasible targets. However, whole suite approaches have not been implemented and experimented in the context of procedural programs. In this paper we present OCELOT (Optimal Coverage sEarch-based tooL for sOftware Testing), a test data generation tool for C programs which implements both a state-of-the-art whole suite approach and an iterative single-target approach designed for a parsimonious use of the search budget. We also present an empirical study conducted on 35 open-source C programs to compare the two approaches implemented in OCELOT. The results indicate that the iterative single-target approach provides a higher efficiency while achieving the same or an even higher level of coverage than the whole suite approach.
Software-Based Energy Profiling of Android Apps: Simple, Efficient and Reliable?Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Modeling the power profile of mobile applications is a crucial activity to identify the causes behind energy leaks. To this aim, researchers have proposed hardware-based tools as well as model-based and software-based techniques to approximate the actual energy profile. However, all these solutions present their own advantages and disadvantages. Hardware-based tools are highly precise, but at the same time their use is bound to the acquisition of costly hardware components. Model-based tools require the calibration of parameters needed to correctly create a model on a specific hardware device. Software-based approaches do not need any hardware components, but they rely on battery measurements and, thus, they are hardware-assisted. These tools are cheaper and easier to use than hardware-based tools, but they are believed to be less precise. In this paper, we take a deeper look at the pros and cons of software-based solutions investigating to what extent their measurements depart from hardware-based solutions. To this aim, we propose a software- based tool named PETrA that we compare with the hardware- based Monsoon toolkit on 54 Android apps. The results show that PETrA performs similarly to M ONSOON despite not using any sophisticated hardware components. In fact, in all the apps the mean relative error with respect to M ONSOON is lower than 0.05. Moreover, for 95% of the analyzed methods the estimation error is within 5% of the actual values measured using the hardware-based toolkit.

OpenOffice.org non è solo la principale suite di applicazioni per l'ufficio completamente libera e basata su open standard (OpenDocument è standard ISO), ma può trasformarsi in una potente piattaforma per applicazioni document-based programmabile via Java.
In questa presentazione esploreremo le potenzialità del connubio fra OpenOffice.org e Java tramite alcuni esempi applicativi. In particolare vedremo la possibilità di eseguire script nei linguaggi basati su JVM come BeanShell e Jython, l'esecuzione remota da applicazioni Java esterne di funzioni di OpenOffice.org lanciato in modalità server, e i diversi punti di aggancio per estendere le funzionalità della suite dall'interno tramite componenti Java custom.
Vedremo infine la nuova applicazione Base presente in OpenOffice.org 2.0 per l'accesso a sorgenti dati JDBC.

Relatori:
Prof.ssa Filomena Ferrucci
Mario Torre
Un nuovo look and feel per Java
basato su GTK+ 3
Candidato:
Elisa D’Eugenio
Matricola 0512100648
9. Look and feel
L'espressione look and feel viene usata per descrivere le
caratteristiche percepite dall'utente di una interfaccia
grafica, sia in termini di apparenza visiva (il look) che di
modalità di interazione (il feel).
12. Look
Feel
Colore
Dimensione
Ogni sistema operativo dotato di interfaccia grafica ha un proprio look and feel
distintivo, che viene in genere ereditato dalle applicazioni sviluppate per quel
sistema. Questo favorisce l'usabilità del software.
13. OpenJDK è un'implementazione free e Open Source
della piattaforma Java, Standard Edition.
Dalla versione 7 è diventata l'implementazione
ufficiale di riferimento di Java SE. La libreria Java
Swing permette la creazione di interfacce grafiche.
Le maggiori distribuzioni Linux fanno uso di un look
and feel per Java Swing basato su GTK+.
14. GTK+ è una libreria grafica per la creazione di
interfacce grafiche, sviluppata in C.
21. Synth look and feel
Contributo
Il pacchetto Synth facilita la creazione di un nuovo look and feel
lasciando allo sviluppatore il compito di implementare solo la parte
visiva, tralasciando la parte di interazione.
22. Java Native Interface
Contributo
Java Native Interface è un framework che consente al codice scritto in
Java di richiamare (o essere richiamato da) codice nativo, ovvero
specifico di un determinato sistema operativo o, più in generale, scritto in
altri linguaggi di programmazione.
