Software inspection is a necessary and important tool for software quality assurance. Since it was introduced by Fagan at IBM in 1976, arguments exist as to which method should be adopted to carry out the exercise, whether it should be paper based or tool based, and what reading technique should be used on the inspection document. Extensive works have been done to determine the effectiveness of reviewers in paper based environment when using ad hoc and checklist reading techniques. In this work, we take the software inspection research further by examining whether there is going to be any significant difference in defect detection effectiveness of reviewers when they use either ad hoc or checklist reading techniques in a distributed groupware environment. Twenty final year undergraduate students of computer science, divided into ad hoc and checklist reviewers groups of ten members each were employed to inspect a medium sized java code synchronously on groupware deployed on the Internet. The data obtained were subjected to tests of hypotheses using independent T test and correlation coefficients. Results from the study indicate that there are no significant differences in the defect detection effectiveness, effort in terms of time taken in minutes and false positives reported by the reviewers using either ad hoc or checklist based reading techniques in the distributed groupware environment studied.

Intelligent transportation system attracts a great deal of research attention because it helps enhance traffic safety, improve driving experiences, and transportation efficiency. Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) supports wireless connections among ve
hicles and offers information exchange, thus significantly facilitating intelligent transportation systems. Since the vehicles move fast and often change lanes unpredictably, the network topology evolves rapidly in a random fashion, which imposes diverse challenges in routing protocol design over VANET. When it comes to the 5G era, the fulfilment of ultra low end-to-end delay and ultra high reliability becomes more crucial than ever. In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol that incorporates mobility status and MAC layer channel contention information. The proposed routing protocol determines next hop by applying mobility information and MAC contention information which differs from existing greedy perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) protocol. Simulation results of the proposed routing protocol show its performance superiority over the existing approach.
In this paper, we propose and evaluate a distributed protocol to manage trust diffusion in ad hoc networks. In this protocol, each node i maintains a trust value about an other node j which is computed both as a result of the exchanges with node j it
self and as a function of the opinion that other nodes have about j. These two aspects are respectively weighted by a trust index that measures the trust quality the node has in its own experiences and by a trust index representing the trust the node has in the opinions of the other nodes. Simulations have been realized to validate the robustness of this protocol against three kinds of attacks: simple coalitions, Trojan attacks and detonator attacks.
Cognitive ad-hoc networks allow users to access an unlicensed/shared spectrum without the need for any coordination via a central controller and are being envisioned for futuristic ultra-dense wireless networks. The ad-hoc nature of networks require
each user to learn and regularly update various network parameters such as channel quality and the number of users, and use learned information to improve the spectrum utilization and minimize collisions. For such a learning and coordination task, we propose a distributed algorithm based on a multi-player multi-armed bandit approach and novel signaling scheme. The proposed algorithm does not need prior knowledge of network parameters (users, channels) and its ability to detect as well as adapt to the changes in the network parameters thereby making it suitable for static as well as dynamic networks. The theoretical analysis and extensive simulation results validate the superiority of the proposed algorithm over existing state-of-the-art algorithms.
Volunteer computing uses Internet-connected devices (laptops, PCs, smart devices, etc.), in which their owners volunteer them as storage and computing power resources, has become an essential mechanism for resource management in numerous applications
. The growth of the volume and variety of data traffic in the Internet leads to concerns on the robustness of cyberphysical systems especially for critical infrastructures. Therefore, the implementation of an efficient Intrusion Detection System for gathering such sensory data has gained vital importance. In this paper, we present a comparative study of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven intrusion detection systems for wirelessly connected sensors that track crucial applications. Specifically, we present an in-depth analysis of the use of machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning solutions to recognize intrusive behavior in the collected traffic. We evaluate the proposed mechanisms by using KD99 as real attack data-set in our simulations. Results present the performance metrics for three different IDSs namely the Adaptively Supervised and Clustered Hybrid IDS (ASCH-IDS), Restricted Boltzmann Machine-based Clustered IDS (RBC-IDS) and Q-learning based IDS (QL-IDS) to detect malicious behaviors. We also present the performance of different reinforcement learning techniques such as State-Action-Reward-State-Action Learning (SARSA) and the Temporal Difference learning (TD). Through simulations, we show that QL-IDS performs with 100% detection rate while SARSA-IDS and TD-IDS perform at the order of 99.5%.
Next-generation networks are expected to be ultra-dense with a very high peak rate but relatively lower expected traffic per user. For such scenario, existing central controller based resource allocation may incur substantial signaling (control commu
nications) leading to a negative effect on the quality of service (e.g. drop calls), energy and spectrum efficiency. To overcome this problem, cognitive ad-hoc networks (CAHN) that share spectrum with other networks are being envisioned. They allow some users to identify and communicate in `free slots thereby reducing signaling load and allowing the higher number of users per base stations (dense networks). Such networks open up many interesting challenges such as resource identification, coordination, dynamic and context-aware adaptation for which Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence framework offers novel solutions. In this paper, we discuss state-of-the-art multi-armed multi-player bandit based distributed learning algorithms that allow users to adapt to the environment and coordinate with other players/users. We also discuss various open research problems for feasible realization of CAHN and interesting applications in other domains such as energy harvesting, Internet of Things, and Smart grids.
