The light-weight JavaScript frameworks such as IoT.js, DukServer, and Smart.js provide the asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime for lowend IoT device. These frameworks are designed for memory-constrained systems such as IoT devices. To evaluate the performance of these frameworks, existing JavaScript benchmarks are not suitable considering that the use cases of IoT device are mainly to ...

JavaScript has evolved from a simple language intended to give web browsers basic interaction into a fully featured dynamic language that allows the browser to become an application delivery platform. With innovations such as asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), JavaScript has become the de facto standard for creating interactive web applications. With i...

Besides its use in the web, the JavaScript programming language has become the basis of some of today’s most important mobile cross-platform development tools. To enable and simplify debugging in such environments, this paper presents a novel method for debugging interpreted JavaScript code. The described method uses source code instrumentation to transform existing JavaScript programs in a way...

JavaScript has become a ubiquitous Web technology that enables interactive and dynamic Web sites. The widespread adoption, along with some of its properties allowing authors to easily obfuscate their code, make JavaScript an interesting venue for malware authors. In this survey paper, we discuss some of the difficulties in dealing with malicious JavaScript code, and go through some recent appro...

With the increasing usage of JavaScript in web applications, there is a great demand to write JavaScript code that is reliable and maintainable. To achieve these goals, classes can be emulated in the current JavaScript standard version. In this paper, we propose a reengineering tool to identify such class-like structures and to create an object-oriented model based on JavaScript source code. Th...

The prevalent uses of JavaScript in web programming have revealed security vulnerability issues of JavaScript applications, which emphasizes the need for JavaScript analyzers to detect such issues. Recently, researchers have proposed several analyzers of JavaScript programs and some web service companies have developed various JavaScript engines. However, unfortunately, most of the tools are no...

Automatic discovery of isolated land cover web map services (LCWMSs) can potentially help in sharing land cover data. Currently, various search engine-based and crawler-based approaches have been developed for finding services dispersed throughout the surface web. In fact, with the prevalence of geospatial web applications, a considerable number of LCWMSs are hidden in JavaScript code, which be...
