Yet, research on new approaches in this field often requires a significant amount of work to be spent on engineering tasks that are not central to the concrete research question at hand. These programming and debugging tasks can significantly delay the progress of the field. We therefore argue that research in the field greatly benefits from having a universal platform of readily usable components and well-tested fundamental algorithms on top of which researchers can build their own prototypes. Besides decreasing the required engineering effort for each new piece of research, such a platform also provides a base for comparing different approaches within one uniform framework, thereby fostering comparability and reproducibility. In this paper, we present the Soot framework for program analysis and various highly integrated open-source tools and components built on top of it that were designed with re-usability in mind. These artifacts are already at the core of many research and commercial projects worldwide. Due to the shared platform, results from one tool can not only be used as inputs for the others, but individual data objects can be passed around to form one large API with which one can build new research prototypes with ease.","PeriodicalId":281934,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 4th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MOBILESoft)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122142081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Appropriate permission usage is imperative for ensuring device security and protecting the user's desired privacy levels. But who is making the important decisions of which permissions the app should request? Are they experienced developers with the appropriate project knowledge to make such important decisions, or are these crucial choices being made by those with relatively minor amounts of contributions to the project? When are these permission-related decisions being made in the app's development life cycle? We examined 1,402 Android version control repositories containing over 331,318 commits including 18,751 AndroidManifest.xml versions to better understand when, why, and who is adding permissions to apps. We found that (I) developers with more experience are more likely to make permission-based changes (II) permissions are typically added earlier in apps' commit lifetime, but their removal is more sustained throughout the commit lifetime (III) developers reverting permission-based changes are typically more experienced than developers who initially made the change being reverted.","PeriodicalId":281934,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 4th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MOBILESoft)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130526209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key stepof such modeling is to discovering call response behavioral rulesbased on multi-dimensional contexts related to individual'sbehavior. Currently, researchers use classification rule learnersfor modeling individual's mobile phone behavior. However, theproblem is that such learning techniques produce only rulesthat include maximal number of contexts albeit ordered byrelevance. This results in many rules with low-reliability thatdecrease the accuracy of the modeling approach. In this paper, we propose an approach (Tmodel) to modeling individual'sphone call response behavior utilizing mobile phone data. Thisapproach produces not only general rules that capture individual'sbehavior at a particular level of confidence with a minimalnumber of contexts, but also produce rules that express specificexceptions to the general rules when more context-dimensionsare taken into account. Experimental evaluation shows thatour approach outperforms existing approaches to modelingindividual's phone call response behavior based on multidimensional contexts.","PeriodicalId":281934,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 4th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MOBILESoft)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130219071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MDCS enable the extension and provision of health services closer to the community by enabling data collection and diagnosis without the patient being in a hospital setting. MDCS, however, face a number security challenges including authentication and authorization of users, secure communication between a mobile client and the server, and secure application deployment. This paper provides a criteria and guidelines for evaluating an authentication model for MDCS. The criteria encompass key authentication dimensions including proper local and remote authentication, password management and recovery especially with no Internet connectivity. We assess the authentication models using two reference systems that are widely used in low-resource settings, namely, District Health Information Software (DHIS 2) and mUzima. The findings reveal gaps in the authentication model of the reference systems including insecure authentication, insecure storage of user credentials on the mobile device and no proper automatic logouts, among others.","PeriodicalId":281934,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 4th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MOBILESoft)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124261557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, these data sources are used to supplement existing traffic monitoring equipment (e.g., ground-loop detectors, traffic cameras), to provide greater insights into roadway infrastructure and traffic dynamics. For cities with emerging economies where traditional traffic monitoring equipment is cost prohibitive, the rise in mobile technology presents a unique opportunity to leverage smartphone sensors as an alternative data source for ITS. There are, however, challenges to using these sensors particularly with the cost of mobile data, network consistency, and on-device resources. In this paper, we present a mobile system that instruments roads under resource constraint while a vehicle is in motion. It determines when and what data to collect and/or upload using a number of on-device valuation and optimisation functions, by prioritising data collection over uploading or vis-versa. We deployed our mobile system on a fleet of heavy-duty waste-collection trucks in Nairobi, Kenya to collect a large volume of real-word road infrastructure and mobility data. Results show that a 42 % reduction in wireless transmissions costs can be achieved with minimal impact to the time in which important data are collected, uploaded and harmonized into a frequently updated map of road infrastructure and traffic.","PeriodicalId":281934,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 4th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MOBILESoft)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126201038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
