앱 인벤터는 GUI 환경에서 블록 편집기를 사용하여 앱을 개발한다. 따라서 누구나 쉽게 앱 프로그래밍을 시작할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한, 앱 인벤터의 공식 사이트의 gallery 공간에 공개된 수많은 공개 앱 소스(aia 파일)를 쉽게 구할 수 있기 때문에 다른 사람이 만든 앱의 소스를 그대로 가져다가 이미지만 바꿔서 자신이 만든 것처럼 앱을 공개할 수도 있다. 그러나 직접 블록 단위로 비교해보지 않고서는 표절이나 도용 여부를 판단하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 앱 인벤터로 개발한 앱들의 유사도를 자동으로 계산해주는 도구를 개발하였다. 원본 프로그램과 도용된 프로그램은 유사도가 높게 계산될 것임을 예상할 수 있기 때문에 유사도 계산 프로그램은 코드 도용을 확인하는 목적으로 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 구현한 도구의 평가를 위해서 다양한 실험을 수행하였고, 실제로 유사도가 높았던 앱들이 서로 공통된 블록을 다수 포함하고 있음을 밝혀내었다. 이러한 실험결과를 바탕으로 우리가 개발한 도구가 앱 인벤터로 개발한 앱에 대해서 소스 표절이나 코드 도용을 탐지하는 목적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The digitization of music has seen a considerable increase in audience size from a few localized listeners to a wider range of global listeners. At the same time, the digitization brings the challenge of smoothly retrieving music from large databases. To deal with this challenge, many systems which support the smooth retrieval of musical data have been developed. At the computational level, a query music piece is compared with the rest of the music pieces in the database. These systems, music information retrieval (MIR systems), work for various applications such as general music retrieval, plagiarism detection, music recommendation, and musicology. This paper mainly addresses two parts of the MIR research area. First, it presents a general overview of MIR, which will examine the history of MIR, the functionality of MIR, application areas of MIR, and the components of MIR. Second, we will investigate music similarity measurement methods, where we provide a comparative analysis of state of the art methods. The scope of this paper focuses on comparative analysis of the accuracy and efficiency of a few key MIR systems. These analyses help in understanding the current and future challenges associated with the field of MIR systems and music similarity measures.

Software birthmarks, which are unique characteristics of the software, are used to detect software plagiarism or software similarity. Generally, software birthmarks are divided into static birthmarks or dynamic birthmarks, which have evident pros and cons depending on the extraction method. In this paper, we propose a method for extracting the API sequence birthmarks using a dynamic analysis and similarity detection between the executable codes. Dynamic birthmarks based on API sequences extract API functions during the execution of programs. The extracted API sequences often include all the API functions called from the start to the end of the program. Meanwhile, our dynamic birthmark scheme extracts the API functions only called directly from the executable code. Then, it uses a sequence alignment algorithm to calculate the similarity metric effectively. We evaluate the birthmark with several open source software programs to verify its reliability and credibility. Our dynamic birthmark scheme based on the extracted API sequence can be utilized in a similarity test of executable codes.

Software birthmarks are used to detect software plagiarism. For binaries, however, only a few birthmarks have been developed. In this paper, we propose a static approach to generate API sequences along major paths, which are analyzed from control flow graphs of the binaries. Since our API sequences are extracted along the most plausible paths of the binary codes, they can represent actual API sequences produced from binary executions, but in a more concise form. Our similarity measures use the Smith-Waterman algorithm that is one of the popular sequence alignment algorithms for DNA sequence analysis. We evaluate our static path-based API sequence with multiple versions of five applications. Our experiment indicates that our proposed method provides a quite reliable similarity birthmark for binaries.

This paper examines research ethics in using the generative AI ChatGPT for research purposes. After reviewing traditional themes of research ethics and relevant principles, it will be argued to be inappropriate to discuss ChatGPT-related issues only from the perspective of permission, detection, and punishment. We need to consider the fundamental problem that the current rules pose concerning the way ChatGPT works. This leads to the proposal that the usage of ChatGPT should be clearly noted when it is used for research purposes and that some unresolved issues should be recognized. Although the advantages of ChatGPT cannot be denied, consensus on the appropriate scope of use is needed from perspectives of the research community and researcher's social responsibility. As generative artificial intelligence technologies are still in the early stages of development, researchers should pay attention to relevant research ethical issues, while not making hasty conclusions. In the conclusion, it will be also proposed to discuss and make a consensus regarding the definition of research that is premised on existing research ethics, but challenged with the advent of ChatGPT and AI technology.

In this paper, we present an effective method for comparing control flow graphs which represent static structures of binary programs. To compare control flow graphs, we measure similarities by comparing instructions and syntactic information contained in basic blocks. In addition, we also consider similarities of edges, which represent control flows between basic blocks, by edge extension. Based on the comparison results of basic blocks and edges, we match most similar basic blocks in two control flow graphs, and then calculate the similarity between control flow graphs. We evaluate the proposed edge extension method in real world Java programs with respect to structural similarities of their control flow graphs. To compare the performance of the proposed method, we also performed experiments with a previous structural comparison for control flow graphs. From the experimental results, the proposed method is evaluated to have enough distinction ability between control flow graphs which have different structural characteristics. Although the method takes more time than previous method, it is evaluated to be more resilient than previous method in comparing control flow graphs which have similar structural characteristics. Control flow graph can be effectively used in program analysis and understanding, and the proposed method is expected to be applied to various areas, such as code optimization, detection of similar code, and detection of code plagiarism.
