COTS Software Acquisition Meta-Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a software acquisition meta-model, called SAMM, for Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software acquisition. Our model is a meta-model in that it includes sections that use other, detailed, models for specific tasks. SAMM is a complete life-cycle model that begins with an end-user need and ends with software maintenance. We have adapted several other models in to SAMM and added several novel features appropriate for the acquisition of commercial software.

متن کاملCOTS Product Selection for Safety-Critical Systems
There is an increasing interest in acquiring commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) functionality for safety-critical applications. However, the selection of COTS products for such applications is still carried out in an ad hoc manner. This creates great difficulties for realistic cost and effort estimation, integration of the selected COTS product, and the certification of final COTS-based safetycrit...
