An arc welding model that couples fluid dynamic and electromagnetic equations was initially developed as a research tool. Subsequently, it was applied to improve and optimise industrial implementations of arc welding. The model includes the arc plasma, the electrode, and the workpiece in the computational domain. It incorporates several features to ensure numerical accuracy and reduce computation time and memory requirements. The arc welding code has been refactored into commercial-grade Windows software, ArcWeld, to address the needs of industrial customers. The methods used to develop ArcWeld and its extension to new arc welding regimes, which used the Workspace workflow platform, are presented. The transformation of the model to an integrated software application means that non-experts can now run the code after only elementary training. The user can easily visualise the results, improving the ability to analyse and generate insights into the arc welding process being modelled. These changes mean that scientific progress is accelerated, and that the software can be used in industry and assist welders’ training. The methods used are transferrable to many other research codes.","PeriodicalId":50378,"journal":{"name":"IET Software","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77747846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agile, on the other hand, is a light system development approach that originated in software development. To bring together the benefits of both approaches, this article proposes an integrated Agile MBSE approach that adopts a specific instance of the Agile approach (i.e., Scrum) in combination with a specific instance of an MBSE approach (i.e., Model-Based System Architecture Process—“MBSAP”) to create an Agile MBSE approach called the integrated Scrum Model-Based System Architecture Process (sMBSAP). The proposed approach was validated through a pilot study that developed a health technology system over one year, successfully producing the desired software product. This work focuses on determining whether the proposed sMBSAP approach can deliver the desired Product Increments with the support of an MBSE process. The interaction of the Product Development Team with the MBSE tool, the generation of the system model, and the delivery of the Product Increments were observed. The preliminary results showed that the proposed approach contributed to achieving the desired system development outcomes and, at the same time, generated complete system architecture artifacts that would not have been developed if Agile had been used alone. Therefore, the main contribution of this research lies in introducing a practical and operational method for merging Agile and MBSE. In parallel, the results suggest that sMBSAP is a middle ground that is more aligned with federal and state regulations, as it addresses the technical debt concerns. Future work will analyze the results of a quasi-experiment on this approach focused on measuring system development performance through common metrics.","PeriodicalId":50378,"journal":{"name":"IET Software","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86991135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gaining insights and knowledge from graph structures is applied throughout a wide range of application areas, for which efficient tools are desired. In this work we present an open source Java graph transformation framework. The framework provides a simple fluent Application Programming Interface (API) to transform a provided graph structure to a desired target format and, in turn, allow further analysis. First, we provide an overview on the architecture of the framework and its core components. Second, we provide an illustrative example which shows how to use the framework’s core API for transforming and verifying graph structures. Next to that, we present an instantiation of the framework in the context of analyzing the third-party dependencies amongst open source libraries on the Android platform. The example scenario provides insights on a typical scenario in which the graph transformation framework is applied to efficiently process complex graph structures. The framework is open-source and actively developed, and we further provide information on how to obtain it from its official GitHub page.","PeriodicalId":50378,"journal":{"name":"IET Software","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81414891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is common to make changes frequently to a project during CI. If existing testing methods are applied to CI directly, it will be difficult to make testing resources focus on changes generated by CI, which results in insufficient testing for changes. To solve this problem, we propose a fuzz testing method for CI. First, differential analysis is performed to determine the change points generated during CI, change points are added to the taint source set, and static analysis is conducted to calculate the distances between each basic block and the taint sources. Then, the project under test is instrumented according to the distances. During fuzz testing, testing resources are allocated based on seed coverage to test the change points effectively. Using the proposed methods, we implement CIDFuzz as a prototype tool, and experiments are conducted on four open-source projects that use CI. Experimental results show that, compared with AFL and AFLGo, CIDFuzz can reduce the time costs of covering change points up to 39.59% and 41.64%, respectively. Also, CIDFuzz can reduce the time costs of reproducing vulnerabilities up to 34.78% and 25.55%.</p>","PeriodicalId":50378,"journal":{"name":"IET Software","volume":"17 3","pages":"301-315"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/sfw2.12125","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50132867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key adverse effect is digital eye strain (DES). Recent trends in human-computer interaction and user experience have proposed voice or gesture-guided designs that present more effective and less intrusive automated solutions. These approaches inspired the design of a solution that uses facial expression recognition (FER) techniques to detect DES and autonomously adapt the application to enhance the user’s experience. This study sourced and adapted popular open FER datasets for DES studies, trained convolutional neural network models for DES expression recognition, and designed a self-adaptive solution as a proof of concept. Initial experimental results yielded a model with an accuracy of 77% and resulted in the adaptation of the user application based on the FER classification results. We also provide the developed application, model source code, and adapted dataset used for further improvements in the area. Future work should focus on detecting posture, ergonomics, or distance from the screen.","PeriodicalId":50378,"journal":{"name":"IET Software","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75131935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most database management software provide data protection at the server side and in transit, but data are no longer protected once they arrive at the client software. In this paper, we present a methodology that, in addition to server-side security, protects data in transit and at rest on the application client side. Our solution enables flexible attribute-based and role-based access control, such that, for a given role or user with a given set of attributes, access can be granted to a relation, a column, or even to a particular data cell of the relation, depending on the data content. Our attribute-based access control model considers the client’s attributes, such as versions of the operating system and the web browser, as well as type of the client’s device. The solution supports decentralized data access and peer-to-peer data sharing in the form of an encrypted and digitally signed spreadsheet container that stores data retrieved by SQL queries from a database, along with data privileges. For extra security, keys for data encryption and decryption are generated on the fly. We show that our solution is successfully integrated with the PostgreSQL® database management system and enables more flexible access control for added security.","PeriodicalId":50378,"journal":{"name":"IET Software","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78354647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
