In this paper, a methodology within risk and trust management in general, and risk and trust assessment in particular, isn't well equipped to address trust issues in evolution.
Most large software systems result from weaving together many independently developed systems. Like Shelley's Frankenstein, such systems risk inheriting undesirable properties. Requirements monitoring can sound the alert should these creations fail to meet their obligations.
BargainFinder, one of the earliest shopbot projects to receive media and public attention, debuted on 30 June 1995. Now, on the project's 15th anniversary, the authors review its progress and the many applications it's influenced.
Embedded systems pose special challenges to system evolution: they're embedded in a changing environment, often interacting with evolving processes of human organizations, and thus must be verified because of their critical nature. Complicating the situation, the analyses and testing regimens used to verify them must evolve as well. Both software engineering research and industrial practice need to...
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich software engineering professor Bertrand Meyer, developer of the Design by Contract method of producing reliable software systems, has been named winner of the 2010 IEEE Computer Society Harlan D. Mills Award.
Classical engineering fails to model all the ways in which a critical sociotechnical system fits into a larger system. A study of orthotics clinics used projective analysis to better understand the clinics' role in a healthcare system and to identify risks to the clinics' evolution.
To manage the complexity of developing, maintaining, and evolving a critical software-intensive system, its architecture description must be accurately and traceably linked to its implementation.
