Characterization and Prediction of Questions without Accepted Answers on Stack Overflow (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yazdaninia, M., Lo, D., & Sami, A. (2021, May). Characterization and Prediction of Questions without Accepted Answers on Stack Overflow. Presented at 2021 IEEE/ACM 29th International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC), Madrid, Spain

A fast and effective approach to obtain information regarding software development problems is to search them to find similar solved problems or post questions on community question answering (CQA) websites. Solving coding problems in a short time is... Read More about Characterization and Prediction of Questions without Accepted Answers on Stack Overflow.

An Empirical Study of C++ Vulnerabilities in Crowd-Sourced Code Examples (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Verdi, M., Sami, A., Akhondali, J., Khomh, F., Uddin, G., & Karami Motlagh, A. (2021, May). An Empirical Study of C++ Vulnerabilities in Crowd-Sourced Code Examples. Presented at 43rd International Conference on Software Engineering, Online

Software developers share programming solutions in Q&A sites like Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, Android forum, and so on. The reuse of crowd-sourced code snippets can facilitate rapid prototyping. However, recent research shows that the shared code... Read More about An Empirical Study of C++ Vulnerabilities in Crowd-Sourced Code Examples.

Intrusion Detection, Measurement Correction, and Attack Localization of PMU Networks (2021)
Journal Article
Khalafi, Z. S., Dehghani, M., Khalili, A., Sami, A., Vafamand, N., & Dragicevic, T. (2022). Intrusion Detection, Measurement Correction, and Attack Localization of PMU Networks. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 69(5), 4697-4706. https://doi.org/10.1109/tie.2021.3080212

Accurate state estimation is essential for correct supervision of power grids. With the existence of cyber-attacks, state estimation may become inaccurate, which can eventually lead to wrong supervisory decision making. To detect cyber-attacks in pow...
