Due to the increasing complexity and shorter life cycle of web applications, web applications need to be restructured to improve flexibility and extensibility. These days approaches are being used where systems are understood and restructured through clustering techniques. In this paper, the coupling metrics are proposed for clustering web pages more effectively. To achieve this, web application models are defined, where the relationship between web pages and the numbers of parameters are included. Considering direct and indirect coupling strength based on these models, coupling metrics are defined. The more direct relations between two pages and the more parameters they have, the stronger direct coupling is. The higher indirect connectivity strength between two pages is, the more similar the patterns of relationships among other web pages are. We verify the suggested metrics according to the well known verification framework and provide a case study to show that our metrics complements some existing metrics.

Recently, the number of cloud web applications is increasing owing to the accelerated migration of enterprises and public sector information systems to the cloud. Traditional network attacks on cloud web applications are characterized by Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, which consume network resources with a large number of packets. However, HTTP DoS attacks, which consume application resources, are also increasing recently; as such, developing security technologies to prevent them is necessary. In particular, since low-bandwidth HTTP DoS attacks do not consume network resources, they are difficult to identify using traditional security solutions that monitor network metrics. In this paper, we propose a new detection model for detecting HTTP DoS attacks on cloud web applications by collecting the application metrics of web servers and learning them using machine learning. We collected 18 types of application metrics from an Apache web server and used five machine learning and two deep learning models to train the collected data. Further, we confirmed the superiority of the application metrics-based machine learning model by collecting and training 6 additional network metrics and comparing their performance with the proposed models. Among HTTP DoS attacks, we injected the RUDY and HULK attacks, which are low- and high-bandwidth attacks, respectively. As a result of detecting these two attacks using the proposed model, we found out that the F1 scores of the application metrics-based machine learning model were about 0.3 and 0.1 higher than that of the network metrics-based model, respectively.

This study is intended to propose quality criteria and Web metrics for usability quality evaluation of multimedia Web sites. Recently, applications of the Web sites are not limited to the area of industry and operating as it integrates the new technology. Also as information super highway becomes common with development or network technology, multimedia Web site is on the rise due to various use of multimedia attributes. Therefore this study expands to apply HTML based Web site quality evaluation studied in Software engineering, HCI, Hypermedia to multimedia Web site, and suggests new metrics by integrating flash usability which is expanding its portion in multimedia Web site lately. The Web metrics proposed in this study are verified by heuristic evaluation from a group of expert. It analyses the results of quantitative and qualitative qualify evaluation on Web Award Korea by comparing the award-winning, high-quality Web site with non-winning Web sites. This study can be used to establish guideline for high-quality multimedia Web site development in the future.

In response to an increased need, various methods for ontology modularization have been proposed. However, few studies have focused on evaluative methods for ontology modules. In this study, we devise novel metrics to measure ontology modularity. To evaluate the ontology modules, we introduce cohesion and coupling based on the theory of software metrics. A cohesion metric and two coupling metrics were used to measure cohesion and coupling for ontology modules. These metrics were also used to check consistency between the ontology modules and the original ontology. The new metrics support a more detailed relationship between classes in ontology modules. We validate the proposed metrics using the well known verification framework and perform the empirical experiments to complement previous investigations. This study offers ontology engineers valuable criteria with which to select and use ontology modules and modularization techniques.

소프트웨어 제품의 신뢰성과 안정성 확보를 위한 품질 보증이 중요해짐에 따라 독립된 테스트 조직이 증가되고 이러한 테스트 조직은 효과적 효율적으로 테스트 활동을 수행하기 위해 테스트 프로세스 개선을 필요로 한다. 그러나, 프로세스는 제품의 도메인 특성으로부터 많은 영향을 받아 특화되므로 실시간(Time to Market) 서비스가 강조되는 웹 서비스 시스템에서의 테스트 프로세스에 대한 연구가 부족하므로 테스트 조직 향상을 위한 방향 모델과 이를 이행할 수 있는 접근 방법을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 웹 서비스 제품의 품질을 보증하기 위해 검증 작업을 수행하고 있는 테스트 조직이 향상되기 위한 방안으로 TMM을 적용하였고, 성숙된 프로세스 구축을 위한 방법으로 GQM을 이용하여 메트릭을 도출한 사례를 제시하였다. 이런 연구결과는 도메인 특성에 맞게 도출된 매트릭을 통해 제품과 테스터의 능력을 평가하고 결과 값을 프로세스 개선에 반영하여 정량적인 데이터 기반으로 관리되는 테스트 조직으로 발전할 수 있을 것이다.

Software maintenance is an important and very expensive activity in software life cycle. To estimate the maintainability cost of software, many software metrics have been proposed. This paper presents the result of an experimental study to explore the relationship between maintainability and some software metrics. LCOM, RFC, DAC, and LOC are employed as metrics and time really spent for maintenance activity has been collected. In the experimental study, we have found that for some systems, the existing metrics may not be an indicator to maintenance effort, which is not consistent with our general knowledge on the relationship between them. Specifically speaking, we recognized that there should be more empirical study on the relationship between metrics and maintainability of softwares which have been developed using recent technologies such as software architecture and design pattern.

There are many researches about metrics to measure a quality of Object-Oriented(OO) software. However, most of them have only discussed a concept or properties of metrics, and have not shown the detailed procedure for measuring them. They also define a measurement indicator as a threshold, but it has been influenced on a project size or application domains. In this paper, we propose metrics based on characteristics of OO design such as size, complexity, coupling and cohesion, and use a propotion to an average as the measurement indicator. It is easy to classify classes which have a result above the average, and to predict classes which reduced the quality of OO design. They will be modified to hold the average. Proposed metrics are analytically evaluated by Weyuker's nine properties. They are satisfied with seven properties except two properties co not apply to OO metrics. Also, we design a quality assessment system, ASSOD(ASsessment System of Object oriented Design), to measure the quality of the OO design independent of the platform.

Nowadays, Internet is used worldwide and network traffic is increasing dramatically. Much of Internet traffic is due to the web applications. And I propose a new cooperative web caching scheme, called DCOORD which tries to minimize the overall cost of Web caching. DCOORD reduces the communication cost by coordinating the objects which are cached at each cache server. In this paper, I compare the Performance of DCOORD with two well-known cooperative Web caching schemes, ICP and CARP, using trace driven simulation. In order to reflect the cost factor in the network communication, I used the CSR(Cost-Saving Ratio) as our performance metric, instead of the traditional hit ratio. The performance evaluations show that DCOORD is more cost effective than ICP and CARP.
