Nowadays there are gradually the importance issues of embedded software for productivity as the fusion and complexity of industry. Especially, people are recognizing the importance of reliability within the embedded software systems(e.g. weapons and medical equipments, etc.). It makes currently mention of software reliability on ISO/IEC 9126, 12119, etc.. However, it is insufficient for the embedded software area in spite of being mentioned the generic software. To do this, we suggest our embedded software reliability assessment through extracting the embedded software meaurement items from reliability assessment items of ISO/IEC 9126, 12119 series.

In disputes involving contracts for work, most issues boil down a single, most crucial, underlying question: whether the agreed work was completed. The same applies to software development services, which are usually usually provided under contracts for work. In disputes arising from software development contracts, appraisal is commonly used to determine the completeness of the software in question. However, it is often difficult to ensure the objectivity of the appraisal. This study examines past cases involving the determination of software completeness to identify the method used in each case. Then, based on the findings, this study identifies issues requiring improvements to ensure objective determination of completeness.

Analyzing a software package which is consisted of big numbers of files takes enormous costs and time. Therefore, SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange) working group collaborate with Linux Foundation published a software information(metadata) specification: SPDX. On the first half of 2017, the specification contains seven chapters and 66 items, according to Ver 2.1 of SPDX spec. It prefers Tag/Value or RDF forms but also supports spreadsheet form. In this paper, we introduce SPDX parsing & validation tools to check the validity of SPDX document. We'll develop SPDX document generator to manage software package more efficiently for our next target.

It is recognized that safety is a key point of technical competency. Its adoption is widely spread in development of products and it is essentially necessary in aerospace industry because airborne system and equipment are used complex high-technology and implemented systematic performance using software. This study reviews system safety assessment, development assurance level, airborne software, RTCA DO-178 process, and considerations & pitfalls in software development.

In general, accelerated life testing is performed to reduce testing time. But it is difficult to apply accelerated life testing to a system besides components. This paper developed a software which estimates reliability measures of the system from results of accelerated life testing of components building the system. This software can handle the system with a large number of components and complex topology. Multiple failure modes of a component were also considered in this software. Based on the software, reliability measures of a gearbox example at several conditions were estimated from the accelerated life testing results of three components of the gearbox.

Safety critical systems are those in which a failure can have serious and irreversible consequences. Nowadays digital technology has been rapidly applied to critical system such as railways, airplanes, nuclear power plants, and vehicles. The main difference between analog system and digital system is that the software is the key component of the digital system. The digital system performs more varying and highly complex functions efficiently compared to the existing analog system because software can be flexibly designed and implemented. The flexible design make it difficult to predict the software failures. This paper reviews safety standard and criteria for safety critical system such as railway system and suggests development process, ordering management and assessment process for railway software with more detail description.

In this paper, we study abstracting and identifying license file from a package to prevent unintentional intellectual property infringement because of lost/modified/confliction of license information when redistributing open source software. To invest character of the license files, we analyzed 322 licenses by n-gram and TF-IDF methods, and abstract license files from the packages. We identified license information with a similarity of the registered licenses by cosine measurement.

In this paper, we introduce a newly developed photogrammetric software for automatic generation of high quality geo-products and its performance assessment carried out using various satellite images. Our newly developed software provides the latest techniques of an optimized sensor modelling, ortho-image generation and automated Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation for diverse remote sensing images. In particular, images from dual- and multi-sensor images can be integrated for 3D mapping. This can be a novel innovation toward a wider applicability of remote sensing data, since 3D mapping has been limited within only single-sensor so far. We used Kompsat-2, Ikonos, QuickBird, Spot-5 high resolution satellite images to test an accuracy of 3D points and ortho-image generated by the software. Outputs were assessed by comparing reliable reference data. From various sensor combinations 3D mapping were implemented and their accuracy was evaluated using independent check points. Model accuracy of 1~2 pixels or better was achieved regardless of sensor combination type. The high resolution ortho-image results are consistent with the reference map on a scale of 1:5,000 after being rectified by the software and an accuracy of 1~2 pixels could be achieved through quantitative assessment. The developed software offers efficient critical geo-processing modules of various remote sensing images and it is expected that the software can be widely used to meet the demand on the high-quality geo products.

The Testing Frontier Capability Assessment Model (TCAM) is based on ISO/IEC 9126, TMMi and TPI. Since ISO/IEC 9126, TMMi and TPI were made over 10 years ago, TCAM faces the problem that it can not assess and analyze the capability of small businesses that employ new software development methods or processes, for example Agile, TDD(Test Driven Development), App software, and Web Software. In this paper, a method to improve the problem is proposed. The paper is composed of the following sections: 1) ISO/IEC 9126, ISO/IEC 25010 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 part 2 review 2) TCAM review 3) software product quality perspective comparison, and analysis between ISO/IEC 9126, ISO/IEC 25010 and TCAM 4) comparison, and analysis between ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 part2 and TCAM and 5) proposal for the improvement of TCAM.

In copyright dispute on software, appraisal procedure is needed, which is regarded as an implementation of the right to fast trial. Considering that, in practice, there has been a long discussion of attempting to operate the software appraisal as a summary procedure. This was done usually by reducing the resources devoted to the summary procedure, however, this way inevitably makes difference in a result obtained through the procedure. Therefore, this research reviewed the previous operation of summary procedure in software appraisal, focusing on intrinsic nature of the summary procedure and role of software appraisal in the trial process.
