Ad Hoc Systems Management and Specification with Distributed Petri Nets

A new paper is accepted in the Complexity journal, where the authors are: Juan Sebastian Sosa, Paul Leger, Hiroaki Fukuda, Nicolás Cardozo (https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6760920 – To appear). Here is the abstract: Managing mobile ad hoc systems is a difficult task due to the high volatility of the systems’ topology. Ad hoc systems are commonly defined by means of […]

Layer Activation Mechanism for Asynchronous Executions in JavaScript

A new paper is accepted in the Context-Oriented Programming workshop, where the authors are: Hiroaki Fukuda, Paul Leger, and Nicolás Cardozo (To appear). Here is the abstract: In modern software development with JavaScript, an asynchronous execution model is often adopted to prevent freezing execution triggered by the blocking operations. JavaScript is now used in various types of […]

An Empirical Evaluation of Supervised Learning Methods for Network Malware Identification Based on Feature Selection

A new paper is accepted in the Complexity journal, where the authors are: Carlos Mazano, Claudio Meneses, Paul Leger (https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6760920 – To appear). Here is the abstract: Malware is a sophisticated, malicious, and sometimes unidentifiable application on the network. The classifying network traffic method using machine learning shows to perform well in detecting malware. In […]

Modeling and simulating Chinese cross-border e-commerce: an agent-based simulation approach

A new paper has been accepted in Journal of Simulation, where the authors: Oswaldo Téran, Paul Leger, Manuela López (https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6760920) . Here is the abstract: Chinese cross-border e-commerce has become the largest in the world, overtaking US e-commerce and representing about 40% of total global e-commerce spending in 2018. This market is highly complex, uncertain, […]

Evolution of a Haskell Repository and its Use of Monads: An Exploratory Study of Stackage

Our paper about the study of the evolution of Stackage, a curated repository for the Haskell language, has been accepted in the Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing. Abstract: Evolution of a Haskell Repository and its Use of Monads: An Exploratory Study of Stackage Package repositories for a programming language are […]

ABM RoutePlanner: An agent-based approach for suggesting preference-based routes in Spain

Our paper that discusses how to use an agent-based model to simulate the touristic preferences to travel to different provinces in Spain has been accepted in the Journal of Simulation, which has been accepted in a WoS journal Q3. Abstract:Spain ranks second in the world for the number of international tourists, most of whom need […]

Sync/CC: Continuations and Aspects to Tame Callback Hell on the Web

Our paper that discusses about how to use continuations and aspects to tame callback hell has been recently accepted. Sync/cc is a JavaScript package (available) to remove the async/await constructs or other proposal to address callback hell. This idea was accepted in a WoS journal Q3.

Using Artificial Neural Network to Detect Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in Children

The application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to different domains become stronger everyday. In this accepted paper, we used ANNs to Detect Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in Children. The paper was accepted in high impact journal named Applied Sciences (IF = 2.458). Abstract: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term for children’s conditions […]

Defining SPL Scope in Small Companies

A high impact article named “A Collaborative Method for Scoping Software Product Lines: a Case Study in a Small Software Company” was accepted in indexed journal Applied Science (IF = 2.458). This work was developed with members of Colombian and Chile. Abstract: SPL scoping is the activity for bounding Software Product Lines (SPL), gathering […]
