Web conceptual models certainly represent a successful approach to the design of complex Web applications. Wrong uses of conceptual models may however introduce problems, which void the numerous advantages deriving from their exploitation in Web applications design. In this paper, we present a quality model for WebML, an XML-based Web conceptual model having a graphical notation. We also introd...

Misuse cases are like use cases, but with bad intent. They can be used when defining non-quality attributes. This paper describes the main concepts concerning misuse cases and shows ways to present them. A literature study is performed to find answers to research questions.

Scenario profiles are used increasingly often for the assessment of quality attributes during the architectural design of software systems. However, the definition of scenario profiles is subjective and no data is available on the effects of individuals on scenario profiles. In this paper we present the design, analysis and results of a controlled experiment on the effect of individuals on scen...

To evaluate the power quality scientifically and reasonably is of important practical significance. This paper applies attribute mathematics to the power quality evaluation, and puts forward a combination weighting method which is based on similarity weight method and AHM weighting method. At last, the attribute comprehensive evaluation method put forward in the paper is tested by using the mea...

Variability is a key factor of most systems. While there are many works covering variability in functionality, there is a research gap regarding variability in software qualities. There is an obvious imbalance between the importance of variability in the context of quality attributes, and the intensity of research in this area. To improve this situation, the First International Workshop on VAri...

The impact of consumer demand for quality on the agricultural and food system is an increased emphasis on quality differentiation but not all in the direction of upgrading quality. The more elite market segments are thriving and reaching growing numbers of consumers but the basic price/quality markets remain strong. Most recent economic studies find that consumers are willing to pay for food sa...

It is becoming more and more clear that architectural design is a crucial step in building complex software. Architectural design involves the first and most crucial design decisions to meet the expected quality attributes [1]. Dealing with concerns that influence important quality attributes asks for an architecture-centric approach. In this paper we propose architectural concerns as basic con...
