Model-Based Engineering of Small Embedded & Real-Time Systems

While hardware development is largely understood and can be efficiently performed, state-of-the-art software engineering for embedded systems is far behind that of other application areas. Inspired by the large success model-based engineering has brought to other application domains, it seems to be a promising approach to gain more reuse, higher product quality and lower product development costs also in the domain of small embedded & real-time systems.

more Process Assessment based on Software Repository Data The development of a large portfolio of software projects raises several managerial challenges, like balancing resource allocation between different projects, and aligning development processes to the standards of the organization. Hence the project status and process quality characteristics, like planning precision or problem resolution speed, must be monitored continuously in order to identify development process weaknesses, and assess process improvements. Collecting the required data by regularly project status reporting can be expensive and intrusive, and furthermore ignores the past history of a process. This motivates mining data from routinely collected repositories like change request management (CRM) systems.

more  Advanced Use Case Modelling The major disadvantage of textual use cases is, that their semi formal nature makes it impossible to keep track of model completeness, as well as of consistency in the textual descriptions themselves and between textual descriptions and other documents of the requirement elicitation.
A form of textual use case descriptions has to be defined, which is easy to read but formal enough to solve these problems. It is promising, that enriching the descriptions with structural information will furthermore improve their quality and support the creation of analysis-models of the system under development.
