چکیده

The objective is to use cost-benefit analyses to identify, for a given project, optimal sets of software assurance activities. Towards this end we have incorporated costbenefit calculations into a risk management framework. The net result is the capability to rapidly explore the costs and benefits of sets of assurance decisions. We describe the cost-benefit aspects of our framework , and demonstrate them on a small illustrative example. We then address the issues raised by seeking to apply this approach to software assurance planning for large-scale software development efforts.

The Erasmus MC Prostate Treatment Planning QA dataset, for evaluation of treatment planning QA models

IMRT treatment planning with commercial treatment planning systems is a trial-and-error process, based on a series of subjective human decisions. Therefore the quality of the IMRT treatment plans may not be consistent among patients, planners or institutions with different experience. Different plan quality assurance (QA) models have been proposed recently, that could flag suboptimal plans that...
