Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 7Measuring Complexity of Object Oriented Programs(2008) Mısra, Sanjay; Misra,S.; Akman,I.; Mısra, Sanjay; Computer Engineering; Computer EngineeringIn this paper, a metric for object oriented language is formulated and validated. On the contrary of the other metrics used for object oriented programming (OOPs), the proposed metric calculates the complexity of a class at method level and hence considers the internal architecture of the classes, subclasses and member functions. The proposed metric is evaluated against Weyuker's proposed set of measurement principles through examples and validated through experimentation, case study and comparative study with similar measures. The practical usefulness of the metric is evaluated by a practical framework. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Error Density Metrics for Business Process Model(2009) Tonbul,G.; Misra,S.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.Article Citation - Scopus: 48Identifying Phishing Attacks in Communication Networks Using Url Consistency Features(Inderscience Publishers, 2020) Azeez,N.A.; Salaudeen,B.B.; Misra,S.; Damasevicius,R.; Maskeliunas,R.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..

Cognitive complexity measure based on cognitive informatics, plays an important role in understanding the fundamental characteristics of software, therefore directly affects the understandability and maintainability of software systems. In this paper, we compared available cognitive complexity measures and evaluated cognitive weight complexity measure in terms of Weyuker's properties. © 2008 IEEE.Conference Object A unique complexity metric(2008) Misra,S.; Akman,I.Metrics, in general, are defined as "a quantitative measure of the degree to which a system, component, or process possesses a given attribute". Complexity metrics are used to predict critical information about reliability and maintainability of software systems. This paper proposes complexity metric, which includes all major factors responsible for complexity. We validated our metric against the principles of measurement theory since the measurement theory has been proposed and extensively used in the literature as a means to evaluate the software engineering metrics. The scale of the metric is investigated through Extensive structure. It is found that the proposed measure is on ratio scale. The applicability of the proposed measure is tested through test cases and comparative study. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Software Metric for Python Language(Springer Verlag, 2010) Misra,S.; Cafer,F.There are many metrics for evaluating the quality of codes written in different programming languages. However, no efforts have been done to propose metrics for Python, which is an important and useful language especially for the software development for the embedded systems. In this present work, we are trying to investigate all the factors, which are responsible for increasing the complexity of code written in Python language. Accordingly, we have proposed a unified metric for this language. Practical applicability of the metric is demonstrated on a case study. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Article Citation - Scopus: 4Multi-Paradigm Metric and Its Applicability on Java Projects(Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institution, 2013) Misra,S.; Cafer,F.; Akman,I.; Fernandez-Sanz,L.JAVA is one of the favorite languages amongst software developers. However, the numbers of specific software metrics to evaluate the JAVA code are limited. In this paper, we evaluate the applicability of a recently developed multi paradigm metric to JAVA projects. The experimentations show that the Multi paradigm metric is an effective measure for estimating the complexity of the JAVA code/projects, and therefore it can be used for controlling the quality of the projects. We have also evaluated the multi-paradigm metric against the principles of measurement theory.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 23Modified cognitive complexity measure(Springer Verlag, 2006) Misra,S.In cognitive functional size measure, the functional size is proportional to weighted cognitive complexity of all internal BCS's and number of input and output. This paper proposes the modification in cognitive functional size complexity measure. The proposed complexity measure is proportional to total occurrence of operators and operands and all internal BCS's. The operators and operands are equally important in design consideration. Thus, the contribution of the operators, operands and cognitive aspects complete the definition of a complexity measure in terms of cognitive. Accordingly, a new formula is developed for calculating the modified cognitive complexity measure. An attempt has also been made to evaluate modified cognitive complexity measure in terms of nine Weyuker's properties, through examples. It has been found that seven of nine Weyuker's properties have been satisfied by the modified cognitive complexity measure and hence establishes as a well-structured one. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3A Multi-Paradigm Complexity Metric (mcm)(2011) Misra,S.; Akman,I.; Cafer,F.Huge amount of researches and software metrics have been proposed for procedural and object-oriented languages. However, there are only few metrics available in the literature related with multi-paradigm programming languages. In this paper, we propose a metric to evaluate the code written in multi-paradigm language. Our proposed metric can be used for most of the programming paradigms, including both procedural and object-oriented languages. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.Article Measuring the Reusable Quality for Xml Schema Documents(Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institution, 2013) Thaw,T.; Misra,S.Extensible Markup Language (XML) based web applications are widely used for data describing and providing internet services. The design of XML schema document (XSD) needs to be quantified with software with the reusable nature of XSD. This nature of documents helps software developers to produce software at a lower software development cost. This paper proposes a metric Entropy Measure of Complexity (EMC), which is intended to measure the reusable quality of XML schema documents. A higher EMC value tends to more reusable quality, and as well, a higher EMC value implies that this schema document contains inheritance feature, elements and attributes. For empirical validation, the metric is applied on 70 WSDL schema files. A comparison with similar measures is also performed. The proposed EMC metric is also validated practically and theoretically. Empirical, theoretical and practical validation and a comparative study proves that the EMC metric is a valid metric and capable of measuring the reusable quality of XSD.
