An Approach for E-Commerce On-Demand Service-Oriented Product Line Development
(Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institution, 2013) Ezenwoke,A.; Misra,S.; Adigun,M.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
The growth of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) is important to the economic development of Africa. This growth can be greatly enhanced by leveraging IT in business activities since e-commerce is a vital tool to allow participation in globalization. Many SMMEs cannot afford to own e-commerce facilities and to reduce cost. An SMME can pay for just the e-commerce facility they use without owning the services or infrastructure. Due to the dynamic nature of the business domain, delivering such on-demand functionalities involves high flexibility in adapting to new client requirements; therefore, a systematic approach to software component reuse must be adopted to reduce cost and the time to market for new products. This work explores the reuse capabilities of a hybridization of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software Product Line (SPL).

Assessing cognitive complexity in Java-based Object-Oriented systems: Metrics and tool support
(Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2016) Crasso,M.; Mateos,C.; Zunino,A.; Misra,S.; Polvorín,P.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Software cognitive complexity refers to how demanding the mental process of performing tasks such as coding, testing, debugging, or modifying source code is. Achieving low levels of cognitive complexity is crucial for ensuring high levels of software maintainability, which is one of the most rewardful software quality attributes. Therefore, in order to control and ensure software maintainability, it is first necessary to accurately quantify software cognitive complexity. In this line, this paper presents a software metric to assess cognitive complexity in Object-Oriented (OO) systems, and particularly those developed in the Java language, which is very popular among OO programming languages. The proposed metric is based on a characterization of basic control structures present in Java systems. Several algorithms to compute the metric and their materialization in the Eclipse IDE are also introduced. Finally, a theoretical validation of the metric against a framework specially designed to validate software complexity metrics is presented, and the applicability of the tool is shown by illustrating the metric in the context of ten real world Java projects and relevant metrics from the well-known Chidamber-Kemerer metric suite.

(2012) Adewumi,A.; Misra,S.; Ikhu-Omoregbe,N.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Web applications are becoming important for small and large companies since they are integrated with their business strategies. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) however are an integral part of contemporary Web applications that are perceived as complex by users and this result in hampering its widespread adoption. The factors responsible for CSS complexity include size, variety in its rule block structures, rule block reuse, cohesion and attribute definition in rule blocks. In this paper, we have proposed relevant metric for each of the complexity factors. The proposed metrics are validated through a practical framework. The outcome shows that the proposed metrics satisfy most of the parameters required by the practical framework hence establishing them as well structured. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

Culture Dimensions in Software Development Industry: the Effects of Mentoring
(2011) Casado-Lumbreras,C.; Colomo-Palacios,R.; Soto-Acosta,P.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Software development is a human centric and sociotechnical activity and like all human activities is influenced by cultural factors. However, software engineering is being further affected because of the globalization in software development. As a result, cultural diversity is influencing software development and its outcomes. The software engineering industry, a very intensive industry regarding human capital, is facing a new era in which software development personnel must adapt to multicultural work environments. Today, many organizations present a multicultural workforce which needs to be managed. This paper analyzes the influence of culture on mentoring relationships within the software engineering industry. Two interesting findings can be concluded from our study: (1) cultural differences affect both formal and informal mentoring, and (2) technical competences are not improved when implementing mentoring relationships. © 2011 Academic Journals.

Design and Implementation of a Mobile Webcast Application With Google Analytics and Cloud Messaging Functionality
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019) Jonathan,O.; Misra,S.; Ibanga,E.; Maskeliunas,R.; Damasevicius,R.; Ahuja,R.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Church cast is an application developed to bring the messages of ministries closer to their members by harnessing the Internet and mobile devices. Due to the very busy schedules of people and religious restrictions in some countries, people are not usually able to be physically present at their locations of worship to listen to or watch their ministers. Existing applications developed in the past like DOMI radio and Redemption TV Media were limited to only audio, poor and unintuitive user interfaces and not providing the administrator any interactions with the users of the application. In this work, we develop an Android-based application that makes it possible for users to watch live streams and on-demand videos from their ministries using their mobile devices. The application also incorporates sharing and analytics functionalities to enable users to share videos messages with loved ones and help the administrator monitor users' activities on the application respectively. The cloud messaging functionality enables the administrator to send messages such as announcements to user devices as push notifications. This would eventually increase user knowledge and interaction with the activities going on in their respective places of worship. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

The Determinants of E-Tourism Websites for Tourists While Selecting a Travel Destination
(Inderscience Publishers, 2022) Chatterjee,S.; Majumdar,D.; Misra,S.; Damasevicius,R.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
The purpose of this article is to identify the determinants of the e-tourism websites for tourists to select their travel destinations. Based on the review of the literature, a conceptual model has been developed. The model contains antecedents of e-tourism websites that could help a tourist to select the travel destination. The model has been validated statistically with a survey involving 309 usable respondents. The PLS-SEM analysis was conducted for hypotheses testing and for validation of the conceptual model. The results show that the antecedents of e-tourism websites like the ease of use, website enjoyment, perceived authenticity of websites, and perceived risk have an impact on the tourists for selection of their travel destinations. The e-tourism websites should possess special features to help travellers to accurately finalise their travel destinations. The developer of the website should design the websites to be interactive so that the viewers can enjoy while surfing the website and should be cautious towards the accuracy of the information-content so that the viewers can feel the contents authenticated. Since there are not many studies in the context of the contribution of e-tourism websites for selecting a travel destination, this study has taken an attempt to fill up this gap. © 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

A Discussion on Assuring Software Quality in Small and Medium Software Enterprises: an Empirical Investigation;
(2011) Tolga Pusatli,O.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Under the studies of general core activities including software inspection, review and testing to achieve quality objectives in small-medium size enterprises (SMEs), the paper presents a contemporary view of such companies against quality measures. The results from a local empirical investigation of quality standards in the Turkish software industry are reported. Around 150 software companies have been approached from which 17 detailed feedback inform that in order to ensure software quality, standards including internationally recognized International Standards Organization (ISO) and Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) are given credit. However the substantial workload and resources required to obtain them are also reported as serious; downscaled frameworks of such large models proposed in the literature are not well known by the SMEs either. The paper also discusses work around that bypasses such standards to ease delivery of products while keeping certificates as labels just to acquire new jobs for the business.

A Discussion on Is and Software Measurement Terminology Flexibility as an Example
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2010) Pusatli,O.T.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Closeness in meaning of the terms in the information systems and software engineering May result in discussion of using proper affiliated terms while covering the scope of research. An example is touched in this exploratory study, which discusses flexibility and its affiliated terms: changeability, adaptability, compatibility, flexibility, expandability, extendibility, extensibility and portability. A risk of misinterpretation due to the variety of the usage of the term is noted whereas the adoption of the term has shown that the literature does not have such examples to a serious level; but this review informs about missing discussions in the research reports in the literature due to omitting or ignoring affiliated terms of the keywords. Another product of this paper is to provide basis for future studies in the flexibility as a quality factor in the software measurement. © 2010 IEEE.

Document type definition (DTD) metrics
(2011) Basci,D.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
In this paper, we present two complexity metrics for the assessment of schema quality written in Document Type Definition (DTD) language. Both \Entropy (E) metric: E(DTD)" and \Distinct Structured Element Repetition Scale (DSERS) metric: DSERS(DTD)" are intended to measure the structural complexity of schemas in DTD language. These metrics exploit a directed graph representation of schema document and consider the complexity of schema due to its similar structured elements and the occurrences of these elements. The empirical and theoretical validations of these metrics prove the robustness of the metrics.

Effective Project Leadership in Computer Science and Engineering
(2009) Cafer,F.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Project leaders are the most important individuals in projects. A project leader should follow some thinking styles and values which can lead his or her team to success. There is a common notion among software specialists that the more complex a project manager thinks, the better his leadership is. In this paper, we discuss the significance of simple thinking in project leadership. If the leader thinks in a simple way, then the risk of being suffocated in details is less. Complex thinking brings out greater risks of losing the general control of the system because of spending too much time and effort on details and, as a result, more confusion. Not only simplicity, but also psychological factors are important in guiding teams and developing projects in the most effective way. Here, we present a set of qualities for a good project leader in software engineering. In addition to that, we also demonstrate how cognitive and ethical issues affect leadership qualities. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.

Efficient Bit-Parallel Multi-Patterns Approximate String Matching Algorithms
(2011) Prasad,R.; Sharma,A.K.; Singh,A.; Agarwal,S.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Multi-patterns approximate string matching (MASM) problem is to find all the occurrences of set of patterns P0, P1, P2...Pr-1, r≥1, in the given text T[0...n-1], allowing limited number of errors in the matches. This problem has many applications in computational biology viz. finding DNA subsequences after possible mutations, locating positions of a disease(s) in a genome etc. The MASM problem has been previously solved by Baeza-Yates and Navarro by extending the bit-parallel automata (BPA) of approximate matching and using the concept of classes of characters. The drawbacks of this approach are: (a) It requires verification for the potential matches and, (b) It can handle patterns of length less than or equal to word length (w) of computer used. In this paper, we propose two new bit-parallel algorithms to solve the same problem. These new algorithms requires no verification and can handle patterns of length > w. These two techniques also use the same BPA of approximate matching and concatenation to form a single pattern from the set of r patterns. We compare the performance of new algorithms with existing algorithms and found that our algorithms have better running time than the previous algorithms. © 2011 Academic Journals.

Error Density Metrics for Business Process Model
(2009) Tonbul,G.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
In this paper, metrics for business process model (BPM), are proposed, which are capable to measure the usability and effectiveness of BPMs. The proposed model is adapting error density metrics to BPMs by considering the similarities between the conceptual characteristics of BPMs and software products. We applied seven software metrics for evaluating quality of business processes/process models. Results show that our metrics help the organization to improve their process, as weighted measurements are indicators for unexpected situations/behaviour for business processes. © 2009 IEEE.
An Evaluation on Developer's Perception of Xml Schema Complexity Metrics for Web Services
(2013) Crasso,M.; Mateos,C.; Coscia,J.L.O.; Zunino,A.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Undoubtedly, the Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is not an incipient computing paradigm anymore, while Web Services technologies is now a very mature stack of technologies. Both have been steadily gaining maturity as their adoption in the software industry grew. Accordingly, several metric suites for assessing different quality attributes of Web Services have been recently proposed. In particular, researchers have focused on measuring services interfaces descriptions, which like any other software artifact, have a measurable size, complexity and quality. This paper presents a study that assesses human perception of some recent services interfaces complexity metrics (Basci and Misra's metrics suite). Empirical evidence suggests that a service interface that it is not complex for a software application, in terms of time and space required to analyze it, will not be necessarily well designed, in terms of best practices for designing Web Services. A Likert-based questionnaire was used to gather individuals opinions about this topic. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Identifying Phishing Attacks in Communication Networks Using Url Consistency Features
(Inderscience Publishers, 2020) Azeez,N.A.; Salaudeen,B.B.; Misra,S.; Damasevicius,R.; Maskeliunas,R.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Phishing is a fraudulent attempt by cybercriminals, where the target audience is addressed by a text message, phone call or e-mail, requesting classified and sensitive information after presenting himself/herself as a legitimate agent. Successful phishing attack may result into financial loss and identity theft. Identifying forensic characteristics of phishing attack can help to detect the attack and its perpetuators and as well as to enable defence against it. To shield internet users from phishing assaults, numerous anti-phishing models have been proposed. Currently employed techniques to handle these challenges are not sufficient and capable enough. We aim at identifying phishing sites in order to guard internet users from being vulnerable to any form of phishing attacks by verifying the conceptual and literal consistency between the uniform resource locator (URL) and the web content. The implementation of the proposed PhishDetect method achieves an accuracy of 99.1%; indicating that it is effective in detecting various forms of phishing attacks. © 2020 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..

An Improved Feature Selection Method for Short Text Classification
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019) Abayomi-Alli,O.; Misra,S.; Matthews,V.O.; Odusami,M.; Abayomi-Alli,A.; Ahuja,R.; Maskeliunas,R.; Computer Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
Text has become one of the widest means of communication on mobile devices due to cheap rate and convenience for instance short text, web document, emails, instant messages. The exponential growth of text documents shared among users globally has increased the threat of misclassification associated with mobile devices such as Spam, Phishing, License to kill, Malware and privacy issues. Existing studies have shown that the major problem associated with text message classification is the poor representation of feature thus reducing accuracy and increasing f-measure rate. Thus, a modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) for improve feature selection and Artificial Immune System (AIS) algorithm was proposed for effective text classification in mobile short messages. The system will be deployed on an Android OS. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
