We show how two web-based architecture trend analysis tools, considering different views and their changes over time, contribute to our daily effort to cope with the complexity of a large, software-intensive medical imaging system.

Successful postdelivery and postrelease maintenance highly depends on the degree of engagement of maintenance organisations during the predelivery and prerelease phases. In this paper, we have compiled the state of predelivery and prerelease practice in eight major organisations in Sweden. We did this using mainly the ISO/IEC FDIS 14764 standard as an evaluation template. Hence, our study can also be conceived as an attempt to evaluate the usability of the ISO/IEC FDIS 14764 standard in an industrial context. We round off this paper by suggesting some extensions to the ISO/IEC FDIS 14764 standard.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Shuttle program is a multi-billion dollar activity scheduled to span over 40 years. Maintaining such software with requirements for high reliability and mission safety taxes current development methods. The authors present how independent verification and validation (IV&V) activities are used to support these requirements. They also show how the IV&V activities for this program differ from those of more traditional software developments.

Business processes and goals change rapidly due to the turbulent environment in which they operate. Their supporting and underpinning technologies may, as a result, require to change. Meanwhile, technological advances are being made at an increasing rate. This may trigger changes in business goals and processes to exploit these new advances; a notable example is e-commerce and e-learning. Understanding and analyzing the interplay and the dual effect between these two entities, technologies and business, is vital both for the prosperity of business and the success and further development of the technologies themselves. This paper proposes the K-Mediator framework together with its underpinning theory to facilitate the co-evolution between businesses and their supporting technologies.

Key parts of software change are concept location and change propagation. We introduce a tool called RIPPLES that supports both. It uses the Abstract System Dependence Graph (ASDG) of the program, enriched by conceptual dependencies. A case study of NCSA Mosaic demonstrates the use of the tool. Precision and recall are used to evaluate the quality of support provided by RIPPLES.

"WebFabIS" is a new software tool realised for planning, scheduling and control of technological processes in the microelectronic clean-room of the Microsystems Research Division of ITC-Irst. R&D activity in the microelectronics and microfabrication field is concerned with continuous innovations in the fabrication processes and with new devices to be developed. For this reason, the scientific and technological know-how shared among the research team is continuously growing and so are the variables to be studied and monitored. Some of the devices are also produced in small series. All the detailed information and related instructions about the fabrication process are necessary not only to researchers who design the devices and supervise the wafer processing in the clean-room, but especially to the specialised technical staff, who need to have all the instructions from the researchers.

Evolution of a software system is a natural process. In many systems evolution occurs during the working phase of their lifecycles. Such systems need to be designed to evolve, i.e., adaptable. Semantically adaptable systems are of particular interest to industry as such systems adapt themselves to environmental change with little or no intervention from their developers. Research in embedded systems is now becoming widespread but developing semantically adaptable embedded systems presents challenges of its own. Embedded systems usually have a restricted hardware configuration, hence techniques developed for other types of systems cannot be directly applied to embedded systems. This paper briefly presents the work done in semantic adaptation of embedded systems, using remotely controlled embedded systems as an application. In this domain, an embedded system is connected to an external controller via a communication link such as ethernet, serial, radio frequency, etc., and receives commands from, and sends responses to, the external controller. Techniques for semantic evolution in this application domain give a glimpse of the complexity involved in tackling the problem of semantic evolution in embedded systems. The techniques developed in this paper were validated by applying them in a real embedded system - a test instrument used for testing cell phones.

The tool named OSK (Operational System Knowledge), is the result of cooperation between Sintesi and Software Engineering and Applications Laboratory of CNUCE Institute of C.N.R. In fact, OSK is derived from the basic ideas implemented in a SEAL prototype named TROOP developed in the framework of C.N.R. Progetto Finalizzato. OSK can be used in a variety of scenarios involving the maintenance of operational systems like: impact analysis; re-documentation, restructuring and re-engineering; migration to ERP; source code quality evaluation; support for data-warehousing activity (data extraction, metadata identification, etc.); code generation. OSK comprises a set of modules built around a software repository, holding the knowledge of the analyzed systems.

Determining the impact of requirement changes on software development is critical to project management. We present an impact analysis method to evaluate requirement changes for software development projects that is based on requirements traceability. By using attributes of the work products and traces, we create classes of requirement changes prioritized according to the potential impact. We present a case study that shows a favorable comparison between the actual impact and the predicted impact. Finally, we discuss the expansion of the method.
