  • As the use of software is more wider in the safety-critical nuclear fields, so study to improve safety and quality of the software has been actively carried out for more than the past decade. In the nuclear power plant, nuclear man-machine interface systems (MMIS) performs the function of the brain and neural networks of human and consists of fully digitalized equipments. Therefore, errors in the software for nuclear MMIS may occur an abnormal operation of nuclear power plant, can result in economic loss due to the consequential trip of the nuclear power plant. Verification and validation (V&V) is a software-engineering discipline that helps to build quality into software, and the nuclear industry has been defined by laws and regulations to implement and adhere to a through verification and validation activities along the software lifecycle. V&V is a collection of analysis and testing activities across the full lifecycle and complements the efforts of other quality-engineering functions. This study propose a methodology based on V&V activities and related tool-chain to improve quality for software in the nuclear power plant. The optimized methodology consists of a document evaluation, requirement traceability, source code review, and software testing. The proposed methodology has been applied and approved to the real MMIS project for Shin-Hanul units 1&2.

  • Software usability is a characteristic of the software that is decided based on learnability, effectiveness, and satisfaction when it is evaluated. The usability is a main factor of the software quality. A software has to be continuously improved by taking guidelines that comes from the usability evaluation. Usability factors may vary among the different software products and even for the same factor, the users may have different opinions according to their experience and knowledge. Therefore, a usability evaluation process must be developed with the consideration of many factors like various applications and users. Existing systems such as satisfaction evaluation and performance evaluation only evaluate the result and do not perform cause analysis. And also unified evaluation items and contents do not reflect the characteristics of the products. To address these problems, this paper presents a evaluation model that is based on the mental model of user and the problems, this paper presents a evaluation model that is based on the mental model of user and the emotion of users. This model uses evaluation factors of the user task which are extracted by analyzing usage of the target product. In the mental model approach, the conceptual model of designer and the mental model of the user are compared and the differences are taken as a gap also reported as a part to be improved in the future. In the emotional factor approach, the emotional factors are extracted for the target products and evaluated in terms of the emotional factors. With this proposed method, we can evaluate the software products with customized attributes of the products and deduce the guidelines for the future improvements. We also takes the GUI framework as a sample case and extracts the directions for improvement. As this model analyzes tasks of users and uses evaluation factors for each task, it is capable of not only reflecting the characteristics of the product, but exactly identifying the items that should be modified and improved.

  • The evolution of information technology and proliferation of hospital management and managerial applications of computing has led to change in the characteristics, uses and evaluations of software for the hospital management. With the growing proliferation of microcomputer use and the value-added for management strategies, more and more software has been massively developed, produced and distributed for the hospital industry. The user is faced with an increasingly difficult choice in the evaluation and selection of software. For many reasons, users frequently must rely on expert evaluations of the technical functions and quality of software. The objectives of this study are to provide selection criteria for an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and to develop an evaluation framework for the Hospital Information Systems. The major findings of our study are as follows (1) the identification of EMR evaluation characteristics (2) the design and development of EMR selection model and (3) the evaluation of the importance for EMR characteristics using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). We identify 6 characteristics and 22 sub-characteristics of the EMR, calculate their weights, and decide the best configuration. Especially, the AHP methodology can be applied to gather knowledge from multiple experts. Because AHP can 1) facilitate the participation of multiple experts 2) increase group productivity and therefore result in both quantitatively and qualitatively superior outcomes than that of a single individual's work 3) provide a mechanism for reconciling conflict from multiple expert 4) validate the acquired knowledge, providing consistency of facts, and 5) enhance the accuracy reliability of the acquired knowledge increase through of the reliability provided by consensus across multiple experts. Although some further research is required, the proposed model can be regarded as a basis for the selection of EMR.

  • The software market has diversified service needs due to the expansion of the mobile market. To this end, the company intends to produce various apps by extending to the design domain based on the structured architectural assets of the domain market. In this study, we propose an evaluation model that can evaluate the efficiency for servicing assets that reflect the domain characteristics of architecture based on cloud. Based on the characteristics of ISO/IEC 25010 quality model of SQuaRE Series, a software evaluation standard, evaluation model sub-features for evaluating the efficiency of cloud-based asset data were constructed. When the architectural assets were designed as composite assets, they were designed to provide the flexibility of the evaluation model by applying the mandatory and optional evaluation elements of the sub-features that weighted the evaluation items according to the characteristics of the design domain.

  • Software reuse gives the meaning for rapid software development and the quality of the software. Most of the Java components/libraries open-source are available only in Java Archive (JAR) file format. When a software design enters into the development process, the developer needs to select necessary JAR files manually via analyzing the given software architecture and related JAR files. This paper proposes an automated approach, JarBot, to suggest all the necessary JAR files for given software architecture in the development process. All related JAR files will be downloaded from the internet based on the extracted information from the given software architecture (class diagram). Class names, method names, and attribute names will be extracted from the downloaded JAR files and matched with the information extracted from the given software architecture to identify the most relevant JAR files. For the result and evaluation of the proposed system, 05 software design was developed for 05 well-completed software project from GitHub. The proposed system suggested more than 95% of the JAR files among expected JAR files for the given 05 software design. The result indicated that the proposed system is suggesting almost all the necessary JAR files.
