Satellite imagery is provided by different missions such as ASTER, MODIS, Sentinel, Landsat, IKONOS, GeoEye, SPOT, WorldView, Pléaides, or RapidEye. One of the major encumbrances is the digital volume that satellite imagery claims during download,...

• The Google Earth Engine significantly accelerates satellite image browsing from various sources, but not every user is familiar with JavaScript or Python to operate it.
• A set of six codes named CataEx provides users with basic coding ...

JavaScript-based web-client programming including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is taught to students in introductory web development courses in universities worldwide. To assist self-studies of novice students, we have developed the JavaScript-based web-...

Code evolution is prevalent in software ecosystems, which can provide many benefits, such as new features, bug fixes, security patches, etc., while still introducing breaking changes that make downstream projects fail to work. Breaking changes cause a lot ...

Conventional wisdom suggests that the benefits of functional programming no longer apply in the presence of even a small amount of imperative code, as if the addition of imperative code effectively subtracts. And yet, as we show in this paper, combining ...

This paper introduces a JavaScript coding site called "Ancient Brain” (at ), which is designed for education with support for students and teachers. It has an extensive list of features to support coding almost anything that can ...

Modern regex languages have strayed far from well-understood traditional regular expressions: they include features that fundamentally transform the matching problem. In exchange for these features, modern regex engines at times suffer from exponential ...

Static program analysis for JavaScript is more difficult than for many other programming languages. One of the main reasons is the presence of dynamic property accesses that read and write object properties via dynamically computed property names. To ...

While static analysis tools that rely on Code Property Graphs (CPGs) to detect security vulnerabilities have proven effective, deciding how much information to include in the graphs remains a challenge. Including less information can lead to a more ...

Making evolutionary algorithms greener implies tackling implementation issues from different angles. Practitioners need to focus on those that can be more easily leveraged, such as the choice of the language that is going to be used; high-level (...

Data binding in front-end user interface web development allows for the UI to update automatically in sync with data, removing complexity from development and simplifying programming. However, data binding often causes website performance to degrade due ...

Discovering server HTTP endpoints – essentially, enumerating the server’s attack surface – is an important step of every black-box web security scanner. One of the main methods of doing that is inferring server endpoints from the client side, ...

When a deployer of a web application puts that application on a server (on-prem or cloud), how can they be sure that the application is executing as intended? This paper studies how the deployer can efficiently check that the execution is faithful. We ...

Automated Program Repair (APR) is a promising approach for addressing software defects and improving software reliability. There are various approaches to APR, including using Machine Learning (ML) techniques such as neural networks and evolutionary ...

Rogue updates, an important type of software supply-chain attack in which attackers conceal malicious code inside updates to benign software, are a growing problem due to their stealth and effectiveness. We design and implement RogueOne, a system for ...

Instrumentation platforms facilitate the development and deployment of dynamic analyses. The state-of-the-art instrumentation platforms for JavaScript rely on different weaving approaches for instrumentation, offering different levels of analysis ...

Modern Web development, especially in the area of multimedia editing and processing, revolves around the ever-evolving study of WebAssembly’s techniques to move portions of video legacy applications to the Web, by considering mainly the front-end ...

Low-code is an approach to programming that seeks to enable the creation of artefacts by both programmers and non-programmers. It enables the rapid creation and delivery of applications with minimal effort to write in a programming language as ...

Code-reuse attacks have the capability to craft malicious instructions from small code fragments, commonly referred to as “gadgets.” These gadgets are generated by JIT (Just-In-Time) engines as integral components of native instructions, with the ...

Software developers typically rely upon a large network of dependencies to build their applications. For instance, the NPM package repository contains over 3 million packages and serves tens of billions of downloads weekly. Understanding the structure ...

Front-end developers want their applications to contain no more code than is needed in order to minimize the amount of time that elapses between visiting a web page and the page becoming responsive. However, front-end code is typically written in ...
