The support for traceability between requirement specifications has been recognised as an important task in the development life-cycle of software systems. In this paper, we present a rule-based approach to support the automatic generation of traceability relations between documents which specify requirement statements and use cases (expressed in structured forms of natural language), and analy...

The purpose of traceability is to ensure persistent alignment of product knowledge between stakeholders, artifacts, and traceability objects. On the other hand, process knowledge is equally important to ensure a systematic software development process with accurate specification and verifiable quality attributes. Previous studies lacks in presenting a consolidated view from product and process ...

WANTED: MEASUREMENTS WITH GOOD REFERENCES In nearly all types of activities-be they related to manufacturing, finance, health, regulatory affairs or even sports-people and organizations are becoming sticklers for measurement uncertainty. NIST, the nation’s measurement authority, has responded to this growing customer need for demonstrable uncertainty. It has created an on-line resource— www.nis...

[Context and motivation] Requirements traceability is known as an important part of development projects. Studies showed that traceability is applied in practice, but insufficient tooland method-support hinders its practical use. [Question/problem] We conducted a survey to understand which traceability usage scenarios are most relevant for practitioners. Gaining this information is a required s...

Traceability usage within different projects is as manifold as the domains in which traceability is applied. A traceability information model (TIM) describes the traceability for a project. A basic TIM consists of at least two types of artifacts and a traceability relation between these artifacts [3]. One of the open traceability challenges is the traceability adaptation during usage [1]. The T...

This work describes and evaluates TraceML, a modeling language for traceability information. Traceability is the degree to which relationships between products of a software development process can be established. Processing traceability information helps to handle the complexity of modern software development efforts and so to make software development more efficient. Up to date traceability h...

The traceability system of navel orange can ensure the quality and safety due to the whole process control from orchard to market. Research on the whole process of navel orange is the foundation and premise of building the traceability system. Based on the analyses of whole food chain of navel orange from origin to market, HACCP is used to evaluate the risk and latent risk of the food chain of ...

Technological importance of traceability mappings is wellknown. The paper argues that traceability mappings are also fundamental for semantics: we present a simple example showing that specifying (model-to-model) model transformations without traceability makes their semantics essentially incomplete. We also show that the traceability mapping from the transformed to the original model should co...

A traceability system simplifies investigation of causes of product failures and is therefore vital for many industries. Traceability systems are extensively used in manufacturing industries, but creating traceability in continuous processes implies great challenges. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how traceability can be achieved in the distribution chain for iron ore pellets. Radio fre...

In this paper, we discuss collusion-secure traceability codes for digital fingerprinting which is a technique for copyright protection of digital contents. We first state a generalization of conventional collusion attacks where illicit users of a digital content collude to create an illegal digital content. Then we propose a collusion-secure traceability code which can detect at least one collu...
