To ensure user satisfaction and success of mobile applications, it is important to provide
highly performant applications. This is particularly important for resource-constrained …

Background Assessing and communicating software engineering research can be
challenging. Design science is recognized as an appropriate research paradigm for applied …

The field of serverless computing has recently emerged in support of highly scalable, event-
driven applications. A serverless application is a set of stateless functions, along with the …

Prior research exploited the repetitiveness of code changes to enable several tasks such as
code completion, bug-fix recommendation, library adaption, etc. These and other novel …

Numerical software is used in a wide variety of applications including safety-critical systems,
which have stringent correctness requirements, and whose failures have catastrophic …

Running compute-intensive or blocking I/O operations in the UI event thread of smartphone
apps can severely degrade responsiveness. Despite the fact that Android supports writing …

To avoid unresponsiveness, a core part of mobile development is asynchronous
programming. Android providesseveral async constructs that developers can use. However …

Previous algorithms for feedback-directed unit test generation iteratively create sequences
of API calls by executing partial tests and by adding new API calls at the end of the test …

Many modern software systems are composed of multiple execution flows that run
simultaneously, spanning from applications designed to exploit the power of modern multi …

A new parallel algorithm for the maximal independent set problem is constructed. It runs in
O(\log^4n) time when implemented on a linear number of EREW-processors. This is the first …
