Analyzing Time-to-Market and Reliability Trade-Offs with Bayesian Belief Networks

چکیده
Web-based systems are software systems with a Web interface. In recent years it has successfully penetrated into our everyday life. Development of such systems has also opened a new area in software engineering: Web engineering. Many studies found that Web development often experiences much shorter cycle time than traditional software development. It conflicts with some non-functional requirements, such as system reliability. When they can not be simultaneously satisfied, trade-off decisions must be made. Such decisions are typically difficult in software development due to the complexity and uncertainty of the development process. They are usually decided in an ad hoc manner. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new methodology for conducting trade-off analysis. Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) is used to offer this opportunity. By capturing and modelling the cause-effect relationships between time and reliability in BBN models, it provides a systematic way for doing comprehensive trade-off analysis throughout the whole development process.

A Surface Water Evaporation Estimation Model Using Bayesian Belief Networks with an Application to the Persian Gulf
Evaporation phenomena is a effective climate component on water resources management and has special importance in agriculture. In this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a non-linear modeling technique provide an evaporation estimation method under uncertainty. As a case study, we estimated the surface water evaporation of the Persian Gulf and worked with a dataset of observations ...

متن کاملTrust-Based Security Level Evaluation Using Bayesian Belief Networks
Security is not merely about technical solutions and patching vulnerabilities. Security is about trade-offs and adhering to realistic security needs, employed to support core business processes. Also, modern systems are subject to a highly competitive market, often demanding rapid development cycles, short life-time, short time-to-market, and small budgets. Security evaluation standards, such a...
متن کاملEnhancing QPNs for Trade-off Resolution
Qualitative probabilistic networks have been introduced as qualitative abstractions of Bayesian belief networks. One of the major drawbacks of these qualitative networks is their coarse level of detail, which may lead to unresolved trade-offs during inference. We present an enhanced formalism for qualitative networks with a finer level of detail. An enhanced qualitative probabilistic network di...

Addressing environmental management problems at catchment scales requires an integrated modelling approach, in which key bio-physical and socio-economic drivers, processes and impacts are all considered. Development of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) for environmental management is rapidly progressing. This paper describes the integration of physical, ecological, and socio-economic components i...
