Context: Digital and physical trails of user activities are collected over the use of software applications and systems. As software becomes ubiquitous, protecting user privacy has become challenging. With the increase of user privacy awareness and advent of privacy regulations and policies, there is an emerging need to implement software systems that enhance the protection of personal data processing. However, existing data protection and privacy regulations provide key principles in high-level, making it difficult for software engineers to design and implement privacy-aware systems. Objectiv...

New research from Monash University presents the most effective approach to accurately predict vulnerabilities in software code and strengthen cybersecurity.Software vulnerabilities are prevalent across all systems that are built using source codes,

Abstract Today’s software development is typically driven by incremental changes made to software to implement a new functionality, fix a bug, or improve its performance and security. Each change request is often described as an issue. Recent studies suggest that a set of components (e.g., software modules) relevant to the resolution of an issue is one of the most important information provided with the issue that software engineers often rely on. However, assigning an issue to the correct component(s) is challenging, especially for large-scale projects which have up to hundreds of componen...
