Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecurity Policy Development: Towards a Life-Cycle and Logic-Based Verification ModelLuay A. Wahsheh, Jim Alves-FossAlthough security plays a major role in the design of software systems, security requirements and policies are usually added to an already existing system, not created in conjunction with the product. As a result, there are often numerous problems with the overall design. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between software engineering, security engineering, and policy engineering and present … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of the COCOMO Model Parameters Using Genetic Algorithms for NASA Software ProjectsAlaa F. ShetaDefining the project estimated cost, duration and maintenance effort early in the development life cycle is a valuable goal to be achieved for software projects. Many model structures evolved in the literature. These model structures consider modeling software effort as a function of the developed line of code (DLOC). Building such a function helps project managers to accurately allocate the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 9,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasurement of Software Maintainability Using a Fuzzy ModelK. K. Aggarwal, Yogesh Singh, Pravin Chandra, Manimala PuriSoftware maintenance is a task that every development group has to face when the software is delivered to the customers' site, installed and is operational. The time spent and effort required for keeping software operational consumes about 40-70% of cost of entire life cycle. This study proposes a four parameter integrated measure of software maintainability using a fuzzy model. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSecured Requirement Specification Framework (SRSF)R.A. Khan, K. MustafaGenerally, software engineers are poorly trained to elicit, analyze and specify security requirements, often confusing them with the architectural security mechanisms that are traditionally used to fulfill them. One of the most ignored parts of a security-enhanced software development lifecycle is the security requirements engineering process. Security should begin at the requirements level and must cover both overt functional security … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
