To support successful quality managements of open source software (OSS) projects, this paper proposes to measure the balance of developers’ contributions to a source file as an entropy. Through an analysis of data collected from 10 popular OSS projects, the following trends are reported: a source file...

Neural Networks have been performing state of the art for almost a decade now; when it comes to classification and prediction domains. Within last few years, neural networks have been improved tremendously and their performance is even better than humans in some domains, e.g. AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol and...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic commerce has become increasingly popular over the last few years. This popularity of P2P is due mainly to the many advantages it offers, such as the ease of sharing of computer resources and reducing cost. This paper uses both semi-formal and formal specification methods...

Distiguishing analysis is an important part of cryptanalysis. It is an important content of discriminating analysis that how to identify ciphertext is encrypted by which cryptosystems when it knows only ciphertext. In this paper, Fisher’s discriminant analysis (FDA), which is based on statistical method...

Content caching is one of the most significant features of Named Data Networking (NDN) that improves the performance. However, this feature makes the cache vulnerable to attacks that determine the recent cache access pattern. In cache privacy attack, an attacker can probe request and determine if the...

This paper introduces the practical guidelines for function point analysis in the Republic of Korea. Korean government recommends that Function Point Analysis should be adopted as a standard method for measuring the functional size of software. Function Point was proposed by an international organization....
