  • p roteus a network service control platform for service evolution in a Mobile Software defined infrastructure
    ACM IEEE International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, 2016
    Co-Authors: Aisha Syed, Jacobus E. Van Der Merwe
    Abstract:

    We present P roteus , a Mobile network service control platform to enable safe and rapid evolution of services in a Mobile Software defined infrastructure (SDI). P roteus allows for network service and network component functionality to be specified in templates. These templates are used by the P roteus orchestrator to realize and modify service instances based on the specifics of a service creation request and the availability of resources in the Mobile SDI and allows for service specific policies to be implemented. We evaluate our P roteus prototype in a realistic Mobile networking testbed illustrating its ability to support service evolution.

  • A novel hardware design paradigm for Mobile 'Software defined radio' terminals
    IEEE Seventh International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications, 2002
    Co-Authors: D. Greifendorf, J. Stammen, S. Sappok, M. Van Ackeren, Peter Jung
    Abstract:

    On the way to Mobile Software defined radio terminals (SDR terminals), a change of the design philosophy for appropriate microelectronic hardware is necessary. The desired reconfigurability must be provided under the constraints of a low power consumption, a low bill of materials, and a small size. This contribution proposes a novel design paradigm for hardware development, which will help to pave the way for Software defined radio terminals.

  • PIMRC - The evolution of hardware platforms for Mobile 'Software defined radio' terminals
    The 13th IEEE International Symposium on Personal Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, 2002
    Co-Authors: Rainer Kokozinski, D. Greifendorf, J. Stammen, Peter Jung
    Abstract:

    The deployment of communication systems mainly depends on the availability of appropriate microelectronics. Therefore, the Fraunhofer-Institut fur Mikroelektronische Schaltungen und Systeme (IMS) considers the combined approach to communication and microelectronic system design as crucial. The paper explores the impact of anticipated communication services for future wireless communication systems on the evolution of microelectronics for wireless terminals. A roadmap is presented which predicts the hardware/Software split of future Software defined radio terminals (SDR terminals). Additionally, a new philosophy for analog and digital codesign is introduced, which may help to accelerate the appearance of Mobile Software defined radio terminals.

  • COMPSAC (1) - DroidPatrol: A Static Analysis Plugin For Secure Mobile Software Development
    2019 IEEE 43rd Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC), 2019
    Co-Authors: Arabin Islam Talukder, Hossain Shahriar, Kai Qian, Mohammad Ashiqur Rahman, Iqbal Ahamed, Emmanuel Agu
    Abstract:

    While the number of Mobile applications are rapidly growing, these applications are often coming with numerous security flaws due to the lack of appropriate coding practices. Security issues must be addressed earlier in the development lifecycle rather than fixing them after the attacks because the damage might already be extensive. Early elimination of possible security vulnerabilities will help us increase the security of our Software and mitigate or reduce the potential damages through data losses or service disruptions caused by malicious attacks. However, many Software developers lack necessary security knowledge and skills required at the development stage, and Secure Mobile Software Development (SMSD) is not yet well represented in academia and industry. In this paper, we present a static analysis-based security analysis approach through design and implementation of a plugin for Android Development Studio, namely DroidPatrol. The proposed plugins can support developers by providing list of potential vulnerabilities early.

  • PRDC - Mobile Software Security with Dynamic Analysis
    2018 IEEE 23rd Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing (PRDC), 2018
    Co-Authors: Hossain Shahriar, Kai Qian, Arabin Islam Talukder, Nidhibahen Patel
    Abstract:

    The majority of malicious Mobile attacks take advantage of vulnerabilities in Mobile Software (applications), such as sensitive data leakage, unsecured sensitive data storage, data transmission, and many others. Most of these vulnerabilities can be detected by analyzing the Mobile Software. In this paper, we describe a tainted dataflow approach to detect Mobile Software security vulnerability, particularly, SQL Injection.

  • DSC - OWASP Risk Analysis Driven Security Requirements Specification for Secure Android Mobile Software Development
    2018 IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing (DSC), 2018
    Co-Authors: Kai Qian, Reza M. Parizi
    Abstract:

    The security threats to Mobile applications are growing explosively. Mobile apps flaws and security defects open doors for hackers to break in and access sensitive information. Defensive requirements analysis should be an integral part of secure Mobile SDLC. Developers need to consider the information confidentiality and data integrity, to verify the security early in the development lifecycle rather than fixing the security holes after attacking and data leaks take place. Early eliminating known security vulnerabilities will help developers increase the security of apps and reduce the likelihood of exploitation. However, many Software developers lack the necessary security knowledge and skills at the development stage, and that's why Secure Mobile Software Development education is very necessary for Mobile Software engineers. In this paper, we propose a guided security requirement analysis based on OWASP Mobile Top ten security risk recommendations for Android Mobile Software development and its traceability of the developmental controls in SDLC. Building secure apps immune to the OWASP Mobile Top ten risks would be an effective approach to provide very useful Mobile security guidelines.

  • ISNCC - Secure Mobile Software Development with Vulnerability Detectors in Static Code Analysis
    2018 International Symposium on Networks Computers and Communications (ISNCC), 2018
    Co-Authors: Xianyong Meng, Kai Qian, Prabir Bhattacharya
    Abstract:

    The security threats to Mobile application are growing explosively. Mobile app flaws and security defects could open doors for hackers to easily attack Mobile apps. Secure Software development must be addressed earlier in the development lifecycle rather than fixing the security holes after attacking. Early eliminating against possible security vulnerability will help us increase the security of our Software, and militate the consequence of damages of data loss caused by potential malicious attacking. However, many Software developer professionals lack the necessary security knowledge and skills at the development stage and Secure Mobile Software Development (SMSD) is not yet well represented in current computing curriculum. In this paper we present a static security analysis approach with open source FindSecurityBugs plugin for Android Studio IDE. We categorized the common Mobile vulnerability for developers based on OWASP Mobile security recommendations and developed detectors to meet the SMSD needs in industry and education.

  • ITiCSE - Labware for Secure Mobile Software Development (SMSD) Education
    Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education, 2017
    Co-Authors: Kai Qian, Hossain Shahriar, Lixin Tao, Prabir Bhattacharya
    Abstract:

    This poster addresses the needs of pedagogical learning materials for Secure Mobile Software Development(SMSD) education and challenges of building SMSD capacity. In this poster, we present an innovative authentic learning approach for SMSD through real-world-scenario case studies. The primary goal of this learning approach is to create an engaging and motivating learning environment that encourages students in learning emerging security concepts and practices such as Mobile Software developments. It provides students with hands-on laboratory practices on real-world Mobile app developments and security. Each module consists of a series of progressive sub-labs: a pre-lab, lab activities, and a student add-on post-lab. The preliminary feedback from students is positive. Students have gained hands-on real world experiences on Mobile security with Android Mobile devices, which also greatly promoted students' self-efficacy and confidences in their Mobile security learning.

  • Exploiting Repositories in Mobile Software Ecosystems from a Governance Perspective
    Information Systems Frontiers, 2019
    Co-Authors: Awdren De Lima Fontão, Rodrigo Pereira Santos, Arilo Claudio Dias-neto
    Abstract:

    Software organizations that maintain Mobile platforms (e.g. Apple, Google, and Microsoft) open their infrastructure to attract and engage external developers to meet the demands of users. This scenario has been investigated as Mobile Software Ecosystem (MSECO). In MSECO, an organization provides content reuse repositories where users can search, download and evaluate apps, or where developers can get support materials. Such repositories are commonly inspired by reuse mechanisms and help an organization to control and evolve the whole ecosystem to keep it vibrant. In this scenario, it is important to understand how to govern MSECO as well as how reuse mechanisms can support this goal. As such, we investigated governance strategies that emerge from content reuse repositories based on four steps: (1) designing a governance process; (2) performing an initial evaluation of this process with managers who are experts in the main existing MSECO (Apple, Google, Nokia, Microsoft, and Samsung); (3) interviewing 18 MSECO managers to collect opinion about the process; and (4) conducting an exploratory analysis of the MSECO reuse repositories’ structure based on the proposed governance process. Three types of content reuse repositories (Apps’ Store, Developer’s Central, and Apps’ Management) were analyzed. As a result, this research allowed us to define a governance process from a repository perspective containing 11 activities.

  • SBQS - Mobile Application Development Training in Mobile Software Ecosystem: Investigating the Developer eXperience
    Proceedings of the 17th Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality - SBQS, 2018
    Co-Authors: Awdren De Lima Fontão, Rodrigo Pereira Dos Santos, Bruno Bonifácio, Arilo Claudio Dias-neto
    Abstract:

    In a Mobile Software Ecosystem (MSECO), large Software organizations (or keystones) need to attract/coach external developers to meet users' demands. In this scenario, it is necessary to evaluate developers' experiences during their involvement in trainings as a strategy to engage developers to contribute to the MSECO expansion (quantitatively and qualitatively). In this paper, we report a study on the comparison of a process-based approach for training Mobile application developers in MSECO against an ad hoc approach (developer's and evangelist's personal processes) to analyze the effect of evangelist-developers interaction in MSECO from Developer experience (DX). We also propose a set of steps to assist keystone organizations to govern developers based on DX sources and with evangelists' support in trainings.

  • SBES - Hearing the Voice of Developers in Mobile Software Ecosystems
    Proceedings of the 31st Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering - SBES'17, 2017
    Co-Authors: Awdren De Lima Fontão, Fabricio Lima, Bruno Ábia, Rodrigo Pereira Dos Santos, Arilo Claudio Dias-neto
    Abstract:

    In a Mobile Software Ecosystem (MSECO), there is no direct communication between the organizations that maintain Mobile platforms (e.g. Apple, Google, and Microsoft) and developers to solve technical questions. Thus, QA barrier reduction; management of technology insertion; and fostering of relationships.

  • JSOS@ICSE - Company health in Mobile Software ecosystem (MSECO): research perspectives and challenges
    2017

    Abstract:

    This paper presents initial perspectives in the search for diagnosing the health of a Mobile Software Ecosystem (MSECO) company. The research intends to investigate a companys health through user reviews about Mobile applications (Apps) and build and present indicators that can identify problems, failures and differences in the quality of the apps to guide the company in the search for "immunization" or "medication" so that it does not become "sick" from the adoption of measures related to the use of indicators for the type of "disease".

  • JSOS@ICSE - Investigating factors that influence developers' experience in Mobile Software ecosystems
    2017
    Co-Authors: Awdren De Lima Fontão, Arilo Claudio Dias-neto, Davi Viana
    Abstract:

    Software organizations (keystones) that maintain a Mobile Software Ecosystem (MSECO) must provide and manage mechanisms to attract, engage and retain Mobile application developers. In this scenario, there is the involvement of expectations, perceptions and feelings of the developer in his/her interaction with various artifacts and other developers, named, Developer Experience (DX). Studying the factors that influence DX in the context of ecosystems is important for keystones that need mechanisms to keep developers accountable for productivity, robustness, and niche creation. In this paper, we applied the Snowballing methodology and thematic analysis to an initial identification of DX influence factors in MSECO. Eleven papers were analyzed from the viewpoint of Software Ecosystems. Initially, we identified 20 influence factors related to DX. Such factors can help to understand the DX in MSECO.
