  • USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) application software has a characteristic that it controls a variety of sensor nodes based on the various target operating systems. Accordingly, many researches for efficient development of USN application software are being performed. In this paper, the attributes design technique to support attribute-based development of USN node software for multi-platform is proposed. In the proposed technique, the method to design attributes for modeling Platform Independent Model and Platform Specific Model is presented. When using the proposed technique, productivity of software development will be increased because node software design for multi-platform is easily performed by selecting values of attributes. Also, maintainability of software will be increased because node software is easily regenerated by changing attributes according to the changes of operating systems.

  • The increasing importance of software has highlighted the need for the proper application of software ILS. On the other hand, the development of ILS has been somewhat limited to the area of hardware development. Therefore, this study examined the potential difficulties in applying software ILS to practical uses, and analyzed the drawbacks by reporting several domestic or foreign regulation cases. In addition, the differences between hardware and software ILS were examined by considering their characteristics of maintenance. Eventually, by establishing the proper range, this study proposes a development plan that is suitable for domestic weapon systems. The proposed research is expected to be helpful for offering specific plans for designing software ILS.

  • This research studied the evaluation of reliability among the software quality characteristics: suitability, reliability, usability, portability, maintainability, performance efficiency, security, and compatibility. It proposes a quantitative evaluation of reliability in the measurement of software quality. This study introduces a method for measuring the failure rate included in maturity during reliability evaluation, which is one of the characteristics of software quality, and is a study with experimental data on how the failure rate changes depending on the form of failure data. Focusing on software testing, the failure rate was measured and compared according to the type of failure data by applying it to the software reliability growth model, focusing on the number of failures per day. The failure rate was measured around the failure time found through the 6-day test, and the failure rate was compared with the failure rate proposed by the international standard ISO/IEC 25023 using the measurement results, and the application was reviewed according to the data type.

  • Recently, International Maritime Organization has been developing e-navigation implementation strategy plan, which is focused on various services for vessel safety navigation. Then, different kinds of software will be developed in maritime area and with this, the quality issues are to be expected becoming more important. In this paper, we adopt software refactoring techniques to reduce the complexity of structure on source code level. It makes software program more effective to understand and modify, without any change of outward behavior. The existing AIS broadcast server program is used as an example for our trial, and calculating coupling and cohesion metric are introduced to analyze the refactoring effect, taking account of the maintainability of IEC/ISO9126 software quality standards.

  • As software industry is rapidly evolving, IT business enterprises have been meeting with cutthroat competition in developing software. As software reusability, time to market, and maintainability are considered as a competitive edge, software component techniques have lately attracted considerable attention. Currently, although there are some supporting tools for developing software components, they do not have tight connections among component developing processes such as component identification, component modeling, detailed design, code generation, deployment, and testing. And it is restrictive for users to construct various scales of components on component platform architecture. In this paper, we provide an implementation and a design of a supporting tool for constructing platform-independent software components, which covers all development lifecycles of components. In the phase of component modeling, platform independent, conceptual components are identified from domain model information in the view of system partitioning. Detailed design and implementation of a component are performed on the J2EE platform architecture. And the changes on the design model and source codes are consistently managed by using round-trip techniques.

  • More precise program slices could be obtained by considering the semantic relations between variables of interest, compared to the existing slicing techniques considering only the syntactic relations. In this paper, we present specification-based slicing that allows a better decomposition of the program by taking a specification as its slicing criterion. A specification-based slice consists of a subset of program statements which preserve the behavior and the correctness of the original Program with respect to a specification given by a pre-postcondition pair. Because specification-based slicing enables one to focus attention on only those program statements which realize the functional abstraction specified by the given specification, it can be widely used in many software engineering areas. Of its possible applications, we show how specification-based slicing can improve the Process for extracting reusable parts from existing programs and restructuring complex programs for better maintainability.

  • Re-engineering has the potential to improve software productivity and quality y across the entire life cycle. It involves improving the software maintenance process and improving existing systems by applying new technologies and tools to software maintenance. Re-engineering can help us understanding existing systems and discover software components(e.g., design structure, data structure that are common across systems. These common components then can be reused in the development (or redevelopment )of systems, thereby significantly shortening the time and lessening the risk of developing systems. The Object-Oriented paradigm has been known to improve software maintainability. There still exist many problems in recognizing object, attributes and operations that are conceptually integrated and constructing of object class. In this paper, we propose a method that defines a fundamental theories of re-engineering and a concept recognition for object- oriented paradigm. We also describe the re-engineering tool that translates the existing procedure-oriented program into object-oriented system. This tool has a strength to solve the conceptual integrity problem in object-oriented recognition.

  • Component-based Development is gaining a wide acceptance as an economical software development paradigm to develop applications by utilizing reusable software components. Well-defined interface manages coupling and cohesion between components, minimizes the effect on the user in case of component evolvement, and enhances reusability, extendibility and maintainability. Therefore, study on systematic development process and design guidelines for component interface has been required since the component has been introduced. In this paper, we propose three types of interfaces based on software architecture layers and functionality types; Provided Interface which provides functionality of a component, Required Interface which specifies required functionality that is provided by other components, and Customize Interface which tailors the component to customer's requirement. In addition, we suggest design criteria for well-designed interface, and systematic process and instructions for designing interface. We firstly cluster operations extracted from use case model and class model to identify Provided interfaces, and design Customize interfaces based on artifacts for variability. We also specify Required interfaces by identifying dependency among interfaces. Proposed interface design method provides traceability, throughout the component interface design. And furthermore, proposed guidelines support practical design for high quality component based on a case study.

  • Quality of a new system is closly related to the quality of components in reuse repository. Quality assessment is essential to construct a reuse library. Definition of quality and method of assessment are totally different in reuse environments. User interface, functionality, performance are main factor in non-reuse development environment. However, reuse environment needs more reusability, extensibility, generality, and maintainability in quality assessment. This paper describes a development of quality assessment tool for multimedia object reuse conponents. Tool gets reuse components described by C++ or IDL, and analyses style, structure, coupling, strength, complexity, understandability, etc. Ultimatly the tool generate quality satisfaction degree for reuse programmers. Quality assessment services are supported in distributed object architecture, CORBA.
