A Deep Study of the Effects and Fixes of Server-Side Request Races in Web Applications

2022 MINING SOFTWARE REPOSITORIES CONFERENCE (MSR 2022), pp. 744–756.

By: Z. Qiu n, S. Shao n, Q. Zhao n , H. Khan n, X. Hui n & G. Jin n

author keywords: web-application request races; characteristic study; Object-Relational Mapping; external and internal effects; fix strategies
TL;DR: This study reveals that request races from ORM-based web applications share the same characteristics as those from raw-SQL web applications, and request races violating application semantics without explicit crashes and error messages externally are common, and latent request races are also common.

RMS: Removing Barriers to Analyze the Availability and Surge Pricing of Ridesharing Services

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2022 CHI CONFERENCE ON HUMAN FACTORS IN COMPUTING SYSTEMS (CHI' 22).

By: H. Khan n, H. Iqbal n, M. Shahzad n & G. Jin n

author keywords: Ridesharing services; Gig economy; Uber; Surge; COVID 19
TL;DR: This paper identifies that previous articles miscalculated the utilization of ridesharing services as they did not count in the vehicles driving in multiple categories of the same service, and presents Ridesharing Measurement Suite (RMS), which removes the barrier of entry for analyzing the availability and surge pricing of ridesHaring services for ridesh sharing users, researchers from various scientific domains, and regulators.

Understanding and Reaching the Performance Limit of Schedule Tuning on Stable Synchronization Determinism

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2022 31ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES AND COMPILATION TECHNIQUES, PACT 2022, pp. 223–238.

By: Q. Zhao n , Z. Qiu n, S. Shao n, X. Hui n, H. Khan n & G. Jin n

author keywords: stable synchronization determinism; performance limit; synchronization scheduling; scheduling-oblivious overheads; totally-ordered synchronization; workload-length imbalance
TL;DR: It is concluded that minSMT successfully reaches the performance limit of stable synchronization determinism on 107 out of 108 benchmarks after excluding the impact of scheduling-oblivious overheads, and this also results in significant performance improvements compared with state-of-the-art stable synchronization-determinism systems on 9 benchmarks.

Dataflow Tunneling

PROCEEDINGS 2018 IEEE/ACM 40TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (ICSE), pp. 586–597.

By: X. Yu n & G. Jin n

author keywords: web applications; request-based applications; web frameworks; inter-request analysis; tracing
TL;DR: This paper designs an approach called dataflow tunneling to capture inter-request data dependencies from concrete application executions and produce data-dependency specifications, and envision that this approach can provide key information to enable future inter- request analysis techniques.
