Abstract The detection of software vulnerabilities written in C and C++ languages takes a lot of attention and interest today. This paper proposes a new framework called DrCSE to improve software vulnerability detection. It uses an intelligent computation technique based on the combination of two methods: Rebalancing data and representation learning to analyze and evaluate the code property graph (CPG) of the source code for detecting abnormal behavior of software vulnerabilities. To do that, DrCSE performs a combination of 3 main processing techniques: (i) building the source code feature profiles, (ii) rebalancing data, and (iii) contrastive… More >

Abstract The development of defect prediction plays a significant role in improving software quality. Such predictions are used to identify defective modules before the testing and to minimize the time and cost. The software with defects negatively impacts operational costs and finally affects customer satisfaction. Numerous approaches exist to predict software defects. However, the timely and accurate software bugs are the major challenging issues. To improve the timely and accurate software defect prediction, a novel technique called Nonparametric Statistical feature scaled QuAdratic regressive convolution Deep nEural Network (SQADEN) is introduced. The proposed SQADEN technique mainly includes… More >

Abstract The advent of Industry 4.0 has compelled businesses to adopt digital approaches that combine software to enhance production efficiency. In this rapidly evolving market, software development is an ongoing process that must be tailored to meet the dynamic needs of enterprises. However, internal research and development can be prohibitively expensive, driving many enterprises to outsource software development and upgrades to external service providers. This paper presents a software upgrade outsourcing model for enterprises and service providers that accounts for the impact of market fluctuations on software adaptability. To mitigate the risk of adverse selection due… More >

Abstract Currently, the Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing communication technology by facilitating the sharing of information between different physical devices connected to a network. To improve control, customization, flexibility, and reduce network maintenance costs, a new Software-Defined Network (SDN) technology must be used in this infrastructure. Despite the various advantages of combining SDN and IoT, this environment is more vulnerable to various attacks due to the centralization of control. Most methods to ensure IoT security are designed to detect Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, but they often lack mechanisms to mitigate their severity. This paper proposes… More >

Abstract Software Defined Networks (SDN) introduced better network management by decoupling control and data plane. However, communication reliability is the desired property in computer networks. The frequency of communication link failure degrades network performance, and service disruptions are likely to occur. Emerging network applications, such as delay-sensitive applications, suffer packet loss with higher Round Trip Time (RTT). Several failure recovery schemes have been proposed to address link failure recovery issues in SDN. However, these schemes have various weaknesses, which may not always guarantee service availability. Communication paths differ in their roles; some paths are critical because… More >

Abstract This research recognizes the limitation and challenges of adapting and applying Process Mining as a powerful tool and technique in the Hypothetical Software Architecture (SA) Evaluation Framework with the features and factors of lightweightness. Process mining deals with the large-scale complexity of security and performance analysis, which are the goals of SA evaluation frameworks. As a result of these conjectures, all Process Mining researches in the realm of SA are thoroughly reviewed, and nine challenges for Process Mining Adaption are recognized. Process mining is embedded in the framework and to boost the quality of the… More >

Abstract Software is unavoidable in software development and maintenance. In literature, many methods are discussed which fails to achieve efficient software bug detection and classification. In this paper, efficient Adaptive Deep Learning Model (ADLM) is developed for automatic duplicate bug report detection and classification process. The proposed ADLM is a combination of Conditional Random Fields decoding with Long Short-Term Memory (CRF-LSTM) and Dingo Optimizer (DO). In the CRF, the DO can be consumed to choose the efficient weight value in network. The proposed automatic bug report detection is proceeding with three stages like pre-processing, feature extraction… More >

Abstract The most significant invention made in recent years to serve various applications is software. Developing a faultless software system requires the software system design to be resilient. To make the software design more efficient, it is essential to assess the reusability of the components used. This paper proposes a software reusability prediction model named Flexible Random Fit (FRF) based on aging resilience for a Service Net (SN) software system. The reusability prediction model is developed based on a multilevel optimization technique based on software characteristics such as cohesion, coupling, and complexity.

Abstract The world’s energy consumption and power generation demand will continue to rise. Furthermore, the bulk of the energy resources needed to satisfy the rising demand is far from the load centers. The aforementioned requires long-distance transmission systems and one way to accomplish this is to use high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. The main technical issues for HVDC transmission systems are loss of synchronism, variation of quadrature currents, amplitude, the inability of station 1 (rectifier), and station 2 (inverter) to either inject, or absorb active, or reactive power in the network in any circumstances… More >
