Reliability, Quality and Safety of Software-Intensive Systems
IFIP TC5 WG5.4 3rd International Conference on Reliability, Quality and Safety of Software-Intensive Systems (ENCRESS ’97), 29th–30th May 1997, Athens, Greece
Such issues discussed include formal methods and models, software testing, safety critical systems, reliability and safety assessment, total quality management, human factors for safety, management, social and legal aspects, and security-critical systems. In addition, the book includes a number of papers on issues with a given practical value. These papers have emerged from applications in several different domains.
One Software Testing.- 1 Pythia: A regression test selection tool based on textual differencing.- 2 Provelt: A C-program correctness prover.- 3 An assessment of the number of paths needed for control flow testing.- Two Software Quality.- 4 Automating software quality modelling, measurement and assessment.- 5 A quality-intensive approach to software development.- Three Software Reliability.- 6 User-perceptions of embedded software reliability.- 7 Motivated humans for reliable software products.- Four Software Reusability.- 8 Specification composition for the verification of message passing program composition.- Five Safety Critical and Safety Monitor Systems.- 9 Prescriptive specification checking for hazard prevention in computer-controlled safety-critical systems.- 10 Object-oriented safety monitor synthesis.- 11 Modification of safety critical systems: an assessment of three approaches.- Six Software-Intensive Systems Security.- 12 Selected Legal Issues Related to Internet Use.- 13 Security of World Wide Web search engines.- 14 The Cascade vulnerability problem for open distributed systems: a review.- 15 Improving the quality of secure distributed systems.- Seven Applications and Experiences.- 16 Partnership with customers in product improvement: testing embedded software products in the field.- 17 Introducing the Goal-Question-Metric approach to telecommunications software development practices: the PITA experiment.- 18 Software development and testing for shipyard robotic welding.- 19 Testing software based on users’ quality needs.- Eight Poster papers.- 20 An evaluation scheme of software testing techniques.- 21 Real-MFG: a Petrinet based model focusing on the integration of schedulability and fault tolerance.- 22 Design of an integrated educational softwaredevelopment environment oriented in reuse and quality assurance of products and processes.- 23 An approach to improve software quality in length measurement calibration.- Index of contributors.- Keyword index.
