For many safety-critical systems a safety case is built as part of the certification or acceptance process. The safety case assembles evidence to justify that the design and imple...
Reliability is a key issue of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) which is widely employed in critical domains such as e-commerce and e-government. Redundancy-based fault tole...
Developing peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is hard because they must be deployed on a high number of nodes, which can be autonomous, refusing to answer to some requests or even unexpec...
The contribution of this paper is a technique to assess whether software failures during operational use can invalidate the trust assumptions and, hence, the adequacy of the softw...
Project managers use inspection data as input to capture-recapture (CR) models to estimate the total number of faults present in a software artifact. The CR models use the number ...
Prediction of fault prone software components is one of the most researched problems in software engineering. Many statistical techniques have been proposed but there is no consen...
Systems connected to the Internet are highly susceptible to denial-of-service attacks that can compromise service availability, causing damage to customers and providers. Due to e...
As software systems evolve, the size of their test suites grow due to added functionality and customer-detected defects. Many of these tests may contain redundant elements with pr...
