Estimating software reliability is always a keen interest of researchers for last three decades due to day to day increase in software industry. Various Software Reliability Growth Models (SRGM) have been proposed to estimate software failure rate, number of faults remaining, and software reliability for the same. This paper describes the review of the various software faults, performance testing,...
We use laboratory experiments to investigate the decisions made by suppliers when they compete for the demand share of a buyer in an outsourcing setup. More specifically, we consider a supply chain in which a single buyer outsources the manufacture of a product to suppliers not on the basis of price, but rather on service. Three different criteria on which suppliers compete are evaluated: 1) a guaranteed...
Parikshit is Manipal University's first 2U class Nano satellite mission. The command and data-handling department is developing the computer architecture for the satellite missions that have multifaceted requirements. The satellite is carrying a thermal camera as the payload for obtaining thermal images of the Indian subcontinent. With the space being a dynamic environment, it is required from an...
With the growing economic importance of Open Source, many researchers have done great efforts for understanding Open Source Software itself and its communities. One of themes which is becoming to get strong attention is "Open Source Software Project Survivability", which researches the evaluation method of future prospections of open source software communities. Some good works have already...
Graphene is a promising new material for the construction of field effect based transistor because of its surface modification can tune the band gap. In this paper, the performance of single layer pristine graphene (SLPG) and single layer with single vacancy graphene (SLSVG) is investigated. Both physical and electrical properties of the graphene field effect (GFET) are simulated using the Atomistic...
In this paper, we have proposed a cost effective method for rapid restoration of wireless connectivity in disaster hit areas, which face large scale failure of wireless infrastructure. This method includes setting of a reconfigurable Base Transceiver Station (BTS) based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. The setup covers the drawbacks of existing methods for establishing connectivity in disaster...
The reproduction and replication of reported scientific results is a hot topic within the academic community. The retraction of numerous studies from a wide range of disciplines, from climate science to bioscience, has drawn the focus of many commentators, but there exists a wider socio-cultural problem that pervades the scientific community. Sharing code, data and models often requires extra effort,...
In only a few ten years payment systems have undergone an incredible evolution passing from a physical transfer of cash to transactions exchanging money as digital data. Mobile Payment (m-payment) refers to one type of electronic payment, performed through mobile devices, such as mobile phones, smartphones, and tablets. To ensure trust and avoid frauds severe security requirements must be imposed...
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have come a long way targeting problems such as increasing emissions and growing vehicle numbers. Current approaches address a variety of objectives including congestion management, collision avoidance, energy-efficiency and emission reduction. However, respective solutions typically are designed for and tailored to a predefined set of objectives. Consequently,...
One example of the problems that affect many people's lives is urban regional land planning. Required a collaboration mechanism which based on the ability of decision analysis in determining the spatial policy of the use of the land. This paper contains an individual decision model by using Analytical Hierarchical Process-AHP technique. The model is applied to the case of the selection of the best...
In silico hyper-modeling is a complex process which requires interdisciplinary effort. Scientists from biology, medicine, bio-informatics, mathematics, engineering and other fields collaborate and contribute their knowledge and expertise. Researchers deserve recognition, intellectual input deserves protection and investments deserve reward. This paper investigates several IP regimes which may apply...
The paper presents an ongoing research within a multidisciplinary collaboration aiming at improving information and tools to prepare local authorities, volunteers and citizens (at a municipal and/or inter-municipal level) to anticipate, cope with, resist against and recover from the impacts of hydro-geological hazards. In particular, the paper aims at presenting the general framework and first results...
In the Dark Ages the 'Lords of the country' were expecting that their 'alchemists' - the 'gurus' of their era - would come up with mysterious formula that would transform 'dust' into 'pots of gold! A lot of current software estimation models and practices, including in Agile and COCOMO-like models, share characteristics of craft practices observed in the Dark Ages, when compared to current professional...
This paper studied the modeling and simulation of the public opinion propagation in the small-world network. The public opinion information propagation characteristics were firstly analyzed, and different states of the people in the propagation environment were proposed. Based on that, this paper constructed the public opinion propagation model based on the agent modeling method, and proposed the...
Many people view an estimate as a quick guess that no one believes anyhow. But producing a viable estimate is core to project success as well as ROI determination and other decision making. In decades of studying the art and science of estimating it has become apparent that: most people don't like to and/or don't know how to estimate, those that estimate are often always wildly optimistic, full of...
Over the past few years ISO has published a number of specific standards detailing processes included in a generic form in software development life cycle models. ISO 15939 on the Measurement process itself is an example of such specific ISO standard. This paper presents some suggestions for improvements to its Measurement Information Model and to the measurement plan within the planning process of...
Feature modeling on ABS was a modeling process which were performed using a text-based language known as μTVL (Micro Textual Variability Language). This approach was relatively difficult when developing a large-scale system. Therefore, systematic mechanism would be needed to make the common modeling process in feature modeling can be recognized and used by ABS. One approach that could be used was...
Software development is not only a single motive process as development but also have to handle number of different issues as like security. For basic software development, we generally use SDLC models for development like web projects, applications, services etc. but in this development process we are not taking care of security issues which are demand of these days. There is no central body who...
The knowledge captured in business process models is essential to identify user requirements of the process aware information system to execute the processes. Frequently, relations between the models and requirements are either not established or only partially available. This results in increased effort, broken traceability, completeness and consistency problems for user requirements. We proposed...
Requirements are artefacts often described with text and models. It is important to manage traceability between requirements and other software artefacts, including designs and test cases, also often captured with specialized models. Some Requirements Management Systems (RMS) support traceability relationships, between (textual) requirements artefacts in the RMS and model artefacts created outside...
