Requirements analysis for large scale systems.

Requirements analysis for large scale systems

All readers of this paper most likely have knowledge of the software requirements discipline and of the use case notation, however not everyone is aware that with the progress of the development process, requirement models evolve in different ways. In particular, some artefacts (such as the glossary, for example) are simply enhanced, while others (functional requirements, object model, etc), in...

Security Requirements Analysis for Large-Scale Distributed File Systems

This paper presents an analysis of security requirements of largescale distributed file systems. Our objective is to identify their generic as well as specific security requirements and to propose potential solutions that can be employed to address these requirements. FileStamp – a multi-writer distributed file system developed at CETIC is considered as a case study for this analysis. This anal...

A partition-based algorithm for clustering large-scale software systems

Clustering techniques are used to extract the structure of software for understanding, maintaining, and refactoring. In the literature, most of the proposed approaches for software clustering are divided into hierarchical algorithms and search-based techniques. In the former, clustering is a process of merging (splitting) similar (non-similar) clusters. These techniques suffered from the drawba...

Hidden Safety Requirements in Large-Scale Systems

To avoid hidden safety problems in future large scale systems, we must be able to identify the crucial assumptions underlying the development of their components and to enunciate straightforward rules for safe component interconnection. Keyword Codes: K.4.1; K.6.5; J.7
