Exploring the synergy between generative AI and software engineering: Automating code optimization and bug fixing

As applied to software engineering, generative AI is quickly transitioning from a zero-sum industry game changer into the primary automation tool for code optimization, bug identification, and problem-solving. This technology takes advantage of artificial intelligence algorithms within machine learning models to analyze and write code, resulting in improved quality and speed of an application development process. The generative AI replenishes productivity in development work and enhances centralization between development work teams through code handling and intelligent suggestions for essential codes. However, the integration of AI in software engineering poses the following problems and ethical questions: the question of accuracy, bias, and data. This paper will review the existing knowledge on generative AI in software engineering regarding its current use, future evolutions and advancements, issues and limitations, and ethical factors in using this technology. This paper considers these aspects to give a global outlook on how generative AI will transform software development in the future and how responsible AI should be employed.

Support Personas: A Concept for Tailored Support of Users of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies

In many applications and websites people use in their everyday life, their privacy and data are threatened, e.g., by script tracking during browsing. Although researchers and companies have developed privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), they are often difficult to use for lay users. In this paper, we conducted a literature review to classify users into different extit{support personas} based on their privacy competence and privacy concern. With developers of PETs in mind, support personas were envisioned to facilitate the customization of software according to the support needs of different users. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of support personas and based on workshop sessions with 15 participants, we designed a browser extension that supports users with the issue of script tracking by providing different user interfaces for different support personas. The following qualitative evaluation with 31 participants showed that the developed UI elements worked as intended for the different support personas. Therefore, we conclude the concept of support personas is useful in the development process of usable applications that enhance the privacy of the users while also educating them and thus potentially increasing their privacy literacy.

Implementation of Agile Methods in GIS Web Applications for Land Suitability Selection

Perusahaan Daerah Perkebunan (PDP) Kahyangan is a Regional Owned Enterprise (BUMD) in Jember Regency which was formed in order to manage plantation commodities in 3 Main Plantations and two Subdivision Plantations. PDP’s profit contribution to Jember’s PAD (Pendapatan Asli Daerah) has continued to decline in recent years. With a target of PAD from plantation products in 2020 of 20 million rupiah, only 20% can be realized (4 million rupiah). Based on the 2023 PDP Kahyangan Jember Strategic Plan, one of the problems causing the opinion deficit is external factors. One of them is the suitability between the potential of the plants planted and the land conditions in a plantation area. Where land suitability, which is the carrying capacity of the land, has a significant effect on crop production. Based on the problems that have been presented, it is necessary to design a GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS), which can provide insight to researchers, practitioners and policy makers regarding the success of managing GIS data for the land suitability evaluation process so that it can increase agricultural productivity. Several stages that will be carried out include data collection, data preparation, and data processing carried out in GIS, then continued with implementation of Decision Support System. The used of agile methods to the application development process ensures that the application is built in a shorter time through the use of continuous iteration and testing thereby ensuring that the DSS implementation on the Web GIS application can run optimally.

Dockerized Application with Web Interface

Developing an application can be a task if any kind of conflict arises during deploying the code or while running them and it can be due to the storage or the code being not supported by the other party’s system. Thus to provide a solution for this matter, we are introducing the project concept of Dockerized application deployment through a web interface. This proposed project combines the efficiency of Docker containers with a web interface to create a platform for running and managing applications easily. When a programmer or a developer or anyone in the field of programming has conflict in uploading, running or deploying their application code from another programmer’s system to their own due to the inefficiency or lack of facilities in their system, they can use this web interface as a solution. Especially during the time of any rush, they can opt for this web interface as it does not require the installation of a local Docker software and any extra dependency management, as installation of Dockers are a bit time lagging. One of the main factors of this project is that this web interface can be run in any kind of computer system without any extra facilities being added to it. Whether the system is less efficient or high efficient regardless of the type of the system, this web interface is easy to access for the users. Users can upload their application code, build Docker images, and run them directly from the web interface. With the advantage of Docker’s utility methodologies for shipping, testing and deploying code, you can reduce the delay between writing codes and running applications .It has additional features like users can define environment variables for their applications, configure network settings for container communication ,mount persistent volumes to store application data with help of virtual cloud, implement user roles and permissions for secure access control .The front end of the web page is created using NEXT Programming Language meanwhile the backend is applied using NEXT, Docker and Python Flask API. About NEXT Programming Language that in this language, when the front-end is applied the backend function gets directly deployed making us use less effort in creating the webpage. It's a newly created advanced programming language. Overall, this Dockerized application deployment web-interface offers a user-friendly and efficient solution for developers, system administrators, and DevOps teams, streamlining the application development and deployment process.

Secure Agent-Oriented Modelling with Web-based Security Application Development

Nowadays, privacy and security have become challenges in developing web-based applications. For example, e-commerce applications are threatened with security issues like scammers, SQL injection attacks, bots, DDOs, Server Security, and Phishing. Although various security requirement methodologies are introduced, it has been reported that security consideration is consistently ignored or treated as the lowest priority during the application development process. Hence, the application is being violated by various security attacks. This paper introduces an alternative methodology to secure a web-based application through an Agent-Oriented Modelling extension. The secure AOM starts with Context and Asset Identification. The models involved in this phase are the Goal Model and Secure Tropos model. The second phase is the Determination of Security Objective. The model that will be used is Secure Tropos. The third phase is Risk Analysis and Assessment. The model that will be used is Secure Tropos. The fourth phase is Risk Treatment. In this phase, there is no model, but we use the suggestion from Secure Tropos: to eliminate risk, transfer risk, retain risk, and reduce risk. The fifth phase is Security Requirements Definition. The models that will be used are the scenario model, interaction model, and knowledge model. The last phase is Control Selection and Implementation. The model that will be used is the Behavior Model. We conducted a reliability analysis to analyze the participants' understanding of Secure AOM. From the reliability test, we can conclude that Secure AOM can become the alternative methodology, as the percentage that agrees that Secure AOM can protect users against making errors and mistakes is 80.9%, and 71.9% agree that SAOM can help to prevent users from specifying incorrect model elements and the relation between the model. This result means that over 50% of the participants agree that Secure AOM can be an alternative methodology that supports security risk management.
