dewolf: Improving Decompilation by leveraging User Surveys
No full textAnalyzing third-party software such as malware or firmware is a crucial task
for security analysts. Although various approaches for automatic analysis exist
and are the subject of ongoing research, analysts often have to resort to
manual static analysis to get a deep understanding of a given binary sample.
Since the source code of encountered samples is rarely available, analysts
regularly employ decompilers for easier and faster comprehension than analyzing
a binary's disassembly.
In this paper, we introduce our decompilation approach dewolf. We developed a
variety of improvements over the previous academic state-of-the-art decompiler
and some novel algorithms to enhance readability and comprehension, focusing on
manual analysis. To evaluate our approach and to obtain a better insight into
the analysts' needs, we conducted three user surveys. The results indicate that
dewolf is suitable for malware comprehension and that its output quality
noticeably exceeds Ghidra and Hex-Rays in certain aspects. Furthermore, our
results imply that decompilers aiming at manual analysis should be highly
configurable to respect individual user preferences. Additionally, future
decompilers should not necessarily follow the unwritten rule to stick to the
code-structure dictated by the assembly in order to produce readable output. In
fact, the few cases where dewolf already cracks this rule lead to its results
considerably exceeding other decompilers. We publish a prototype implementation
of dewolf and all survey results on GitHub

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
