Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Hybrid Tool Estimator: An Integration of Risk with Software EstimationJ. Frank Vijay, C. ManoharanProblem statement: One important problem with software development projects is to get an early and nevertheless accurate estimation of the effort needed to complete the project within the schedule. In the literature various methods have been developed for this purpose. The most popular examples are Boehm’s COCOMO, Albrecht’s Function Point Method or Sneed’s object-point method. The two last named methods … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 25 Aug 2011 · 6,752 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInitial Hybrid Method for Analyzing Software Estimation, Benchmarking and Risk Assessment Using Design of SoftwareJ. Frank Vijay, C. ManoharanProblem statement: Estimation models in software engineering are used to predict some important attributes of future entities such as development effort, software reliability and programmers productivity. Among these models, those estimating software effort have motivated considerable research in recent years. Approach: In this study we discussed an available work on the effort estimation methods and also proposed a hybrid method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,595 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Approach to Modeling Software Safety in Safety-Critical SystemsBen Swarup Medikonda, Seetha Ramaiah PanchumarthySoftware for safety-critical systems has to deal with the hazards identified by safety analysis in order to make the system safe, risk-free and fail-safe. Software safety is a composite of many factors. Problem statement: Existing software quality models like McCall’s and Boehm’s and ISO 9126 were inadequate in addressing the software safety issues of real time safety-critical embedded systems. At … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Diagnosis on Discrete Event SystemsSihem Kechida, Nasr Eddine DebbacheThe modern technology advances to a point where it is possible and extensively desirable to improve reliability and the technical process safety. This is achieved by computer implanted FDI procedures (Fault Detection and Isolation). However, the malfunction of actuators, sensors and of the process components, as well as erroneous actions of human operators can have some disastrous consequences in high … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cost Effective and User Friendly Approach to Design Wireline Formation TestsClara Bertolini, Giuseppe Tripaldi, Elena Manassero et al.Problem statement: Wireline formation testing (also named Mini-DSTs) are gaining more and more popularity as a possible alternative to conventional well testing especially where there are major environmental and economical constraints. The increased offshore exploration activity, which often implies highly risky and huge operational costs, makes the conventional well testing less attractive in favor of other technologies that can provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA GQM Based Approach towards the Development of Metrics for Software SafetyKotti Jayasri, Panchumarthy SeetharamaiahSoftware sometimes safety-critical if it resides in a safety-critical computer systems and it causes or contributes to hazards. Therefore, Safety-critical software intensive systems require verification and validation to confirm that they function as per the safety requirements. Software Safety is a combination of many factors. Metrics are commonly used in engineering as measures for the performance of a system on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 30 Sep 2015 · 6,411 accessesView PDFCite
