We quantify, over inter-continental paths, the ageing of TCP packets, throughput and delay for different TCP congestion control algorithms containing a mix of loss-based, delay-based and hybrid congestion control algorithms. In comparing these TCP variants to ACP+, an improvement over ACP, we shed better light on the ability of ACP+ to deliver timely updates over fat pipes and long paths. ACP+ estimates the network conditions on the end-to-end path and adapts the rate of status updates to minimize age. It achieves similar average age as the best (age wise) performing TCP algorithm but at end-to-end throughputs that are two orders of magnitude smaller. We also quantify the significant improvements that ACP+ brings to age control over a shared multiaccess channel.

DNS is a vital component for almost every networked application. Originally it was designed as an unencrypted protocol, making user security a concern. DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) is the latest proposal to make name resolution more secure. In this paper we
study the current DNS-over-HTTPS ecosystem, especially the cost of the additional security. We start by surveying the current DoH landscape by assessing standard compliance and supported features of public DoH servers. We then compare different transports for secure DNS, to highlight the improvements DoH makes over its predecessor, DNS-over-TLS (DoT). These improvements explain in part the significantly larger take-up of DoH in comparison to DoT. Finally, we quantify the overhead incurred by the additional layers of the DoH transport and their impact on web page load times. We find that these overheads only have limited impact on page load times, suggesting that it is possible to obtain the improved security of DoH with only marginal performance impact.
Resistive-anode micromegas detectors are in development since several years, in an effort to solve the problem of sparks when working at high flux and high ionizing radiation like in the HL-LHC (up to ten times the luminosity of the LHC). They have b
een chosen as one of the technologies that will be part of the ATLAS New Small Wheel project (forward muon system). An ageing study is mandatory to assess their capabilities to handle the HL-LHC environment on a long-term period. A prototype has been exposed to several types of irradiation (X-rays, cold neutrons, $^{60}$Co gammas and alphas) above the equivalent charge produced at the detector in five HL-LHC running years without showing any degradation of the performances in terms of gain and energy resolution. This study has been completed with the characterization of the tracking performances in terms of efficiency and spatial resolution, verifying the compatibility of results obtained with both resistive micromegas detectors, irradiated and non-irradiated one.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime to execute queries. Using GraphQL queries, clients define precisely what data they wish to retrieve or mutate on a server, leading to fewer round trips and reduced response sizes. Although interest i
n GraphQL is on the rise, with increasing adoption at major organizations, little is known about what GraphQL interfaces look like in practice. This lack of knowledge makes it hard for providers to understand what practices promote idiomatic, easy-to-use APIs, and what pitfalls to avoid. To address this gap, we study the design of GraphQL interfaces in practice by analyzing their schemas - the descriptions of their exposed data types and the possible operations on the underlying data. We base our study on two novel corpuses of GraphQL schemas, one of 16 commercial GraphQL schemas and the other of 8,399 GraphQL schemas mined from GitHub projects. We make both corpuses available to other researchers. Using these corpuses, we characterize the size of schemas and their use of GraphQL features and assess the use of both prescribed and organic naming conventions. We also report that a majority of APIs are susceptible to denial of service through complex queries, posing real security risks previously discussed only in theory. We also assess ways in which GraphQL APIs attempt to address these concerns.
Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) establishes a new paradigm for learning graph representations without human annotations. Although remarkable progress has been witnessed recently, the success behind GCL is still left somewhat mysterious. In this work
, we first identify several critical design considerations within a general GCL paradigm, including augmentation functions, contrasting modes, contrastive objectives, and negative mining techniques. Then, to understand the interplay of different GCL components, we conduct extensive, controlled experiments over a set of benchmark tasks on datasets across various domains. Our empirical studies suggest a set of general receipts for effective GCL, e.g., simple topology augmentations that produce sparse graph views bring promising performance improvements; contrasting modes should be aligned with the granularities of end tasks. In addition, to foster future research and ease the implementation of GCL algorithms, we develop an easy-to-use library PyGCL, featuring modularized CL components, standardized evaluation, and experiment management. We envision this work to provide useful empirical evidence of effective GCL algorithms and offer several insights for future research.
Software systems are designed according to guidelines and constraints defined by business rules. Some of these constraints define the allowable or required values for data handled by the systems. These data constraints usually originate from the prob
lem domain (e.g., regulations), and developers must write code that enforces them. Understanding how data constraints are implemented is essential for testing, debugging, and software change. Unfortunately, there are no widely-accepted guidelines or best practices on how to implement data constraints. This paper presents an empirical study that investigates how data constraints are implemented in Java. We study the implementation of 187 data constraints extracted from the documentation of eight real-world Java software systems. First, we perform a qualitative analysis of the textual description of data constraints and identify four data constraint types. Second, we manually identify the implementations of these data constraints and reveal that they can be grouped into 30 implementation patterns. The analysis of these implementation patterns indicates that developers prefer a handful of patterns when implementing data constraints and deviations from these patterns are associated with unusual implementation decisions or code smells. Third, we develop a tool-assisted protocol that allows us to identify 256 additional trace links for the data constraints implemented using the 13 most common patterns. We find that almost half of these data constraints have multiple enforcing statements, which are code clones of different types.
