Since smartphones are usually personal devices full of private information, they are a popular target for a vast variety of real-world attacks such as Code Reuse Attack (CRA). CRAs enable attackers to execute any arbitrary algorithm on a device without injecting an executable code. Since the standard platform for mobile devices is ARM architecture, we concentrate on available ARM-based CRAs. Cu...

Code repositories on the Internet provide a tremendous amount of freely available open source code that can be reused for building new software. It has been argued that only software reuse can bring the gain of productivity in software construction demanded by the market. However, knowledge about the extent of reuse in software projects is only sparse. To remedy this, we report on an empirical ...

Software reuse enables the development of software that is of better quality and at lower cost. Software reuse environments are sought to enhance the reuse of software artifacts especially when done at earlystage of the software life cycle. A number of software reuse environments have been proposed, however, there is no framework that helps in analyzing and evaluating such environments. In this...

Knowledge reuse is the process through which knowledge is captured, validated, stored, and retrieved. Through the reuse of knowledge, organizations may exploit internal capabilities and improve the effectiveness of their exploration activities (March, 1999). Knowledge reuse processes emphasize the centrality of knowledge within an organization by aligning information systems and communication t...

Is it really true that simulation models and simulation software should always be regarded as candidates for reuse, or is it better to be selective? What are the obstacles to simulation software and model reuse? Can these be surmounted and, if so, at what cost? There is a range of levels at which simulation software may be reused, a range of costs to be borne and range of benefits that may be a...

Successfully introducing a reuse program into an organization requires many things, such as proven processes, an organization for reuse, and management support. However, management needs to understand the value of reuse before they will allocate resources. Key to showing this value is a business case based on consistent, realistic, and easy to understand metrics. I have found that combining rea...
