Moreover, Google Scholar rapidly becoming search engine choice for many researchers which it can find primary studies known. Objective: This tertiary study an attempt i) measure SLRs SE. Furthermore this proposes...

In the digital age, there is a notable increase in fraudulent activities perpetrated by social engineers who exploit individuals' limited knowledge of devices. These actors strategically manipulate human psychology, targeting IT devices to gain unauthorized access sensitive data. Our study centered around two distinct objectives be accomplished through utilization serious game: (i) The primary objective entails delivering training and educational content participants with focus on phishing...

Context:In the current era of digital technology, social engineers are using various tactics to undermine human weaknesses. Social Engineers target psychology achieve their target(s) which in form data, account details, or IT devices etc. According our research, one fi rst methods used victims is Phishing/Spear Phishing. Objective:The objective this study utilize serious game to: i) educate players regarding phishing and spear-phishing attacks; ii) make aware dangers associated with...

Abstract User forums enable a large population of crowd‐users to publicly share their experience, useful thoughts, and concerns about the software applications in form user reviews. Recent research studies have revealed that end‐user reviews contain rich pivotal sources information for vendors developers can help undertake evolution maintenance tasks. However, such user‐generated is often fragmented, with multiple viewpoints from various stakeholders involved ongoing discussions Reddit...

ABSTRACT Assessing the quality and credibility of research is crucial across disciplines. However, training early career scholars in systematic appraisal poses challenges. The rise online grey literature increases need for nuanced evaluation capabilities. This study aims to impart basic assessment knowledge software engineering researchers using an interactive card‐based learning activity. PRISMA abstract checklist was adapted into a physical card deck. Sixteen novice participated session...

Context and Background: Since December 2019, the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic has sparked considerable alarm among general community significantly affected societal attitudes perceptions. Apart from disease itself, many people suffer anxiety depression due to present threat of an outbreak. Due fast propagation virus misleading/fake information, issues public discourse alter, resulting in significant confusion certain places. Rumours are unproven facts or stories that propagate promote...

Human physical activity recognition from inertial sensors is shown to be a successful approach for monitoring elderly individuals and children in indoor outdoor environments. As result, researchers have significant interest developing state-of-the-art machine learning methods capable of utilizing sensor data providing key decision support different scenarios. This paper analyzes data-driven techniques recognizing human daily living activities. Therefore, improve the classification activities...

Abstract In modern times, internationally organized teams face a number of coordination problems owing to their different physical operating locations. These challenges usually come in temporal, cultural, and linguistic forms. To resolve some these issues, we need more coordination, teamwork, shared understanding the requirements engineering phase. Many approaches have been introduced overcome associated with global software (GSE). The objective this research study is introduce amateurs GSE...

Summary End‐user feedback in social media platforms, particularly the app stores, is increasing exponentially with each passing day. Software researchers and vendors started to mine end‐user by proposing text analytics methods tools extract useful information for software evolution maintenance. In addition, research shows that positive high‐star ratings attract more users increase downloads. However, it emerged fake review market, where incorporating reviews against their corresponding...

This study focuses on adoption of simulation system in rapidly changing technology and information flow. Given the prevalent popularity system, it is important to understand adopt develop future educational plans. paper addresses how enhances student collaborative learning learner performance using Technology Acceptance Model. Results were analyzed Structure Equation Modeling technique; this established that perceived usefulness, ease use, enjoyment all have a significant positive...

Abstract Over the past few years, application and usage of Machine Learning (ML) techniques have increased exponentially due to continuously increasing size data computing capacity. Despite popularity ML techniques, only a research studies focused on especially supervised learning in Requirement Engineering (RE) activities solve problems that occur RE activities. The authors focus systematic mapping work investigate those between period 2002–2023. aim trends, main activities, algorithms,...

App stores allow users to search, download, and purchase software applications accomplish daily tasks. Also, they enable crowd-users submit textual feedback or star ratings the downloaded apps based on their satisfaction. Recently, crowd-user contains critical information for developers, including new features, issues, non-functional requirements, etc. Previously, identifying bugs in low-star was ignored literature. For this purpose, we proposed a natural language processing-based (NLP)...

Abstract Malicious scammers and social engineers are causing great harms to modern society, as they have led the loss of data, information, money, many more for individuals companies. Knowledge about engineering (SE) is wide‐spread it exits in non‐academic papers communication channels. mostly based on expert opinion experience reports. Such knowledge, if articulated, can provide a valid source knowledge information. We performed analysis such sources, guided by academic principles around...

Abstract Quality of research and knowledge sources can be a critical factor to judge the quality citing them. The prevailing online dissemination via blogs, websites, experience reports, white papers helpful as it minimizes potential publication biases. In this paper, we have (i) identified body software engineering (SE) literature that is non‐indexed by Web‐of‐Science but has been used in published SE systematic review (SLR) studies (as primary studies); (ii) proposed checklist‐based method...

The prioritization of bug reports based on severity is a crucial aspect triaging, enabling focus more critical issues. Traditional methods for assessing range from manual inspection to the application machine and deep learning techniques. However, evaluation tends be resource-intensive inefficient, while conventional models often lack contextual understanding. This study explores effectiveness large language (LLMs) in predicting report severity. We propose novel approach called SevPredict...
