Software evolution requires an intelligent planning of evolution and maintenance activities in an organization. Intelligent planning means integrating the long-term strategy of a product’s evolution with short-term maintenance activities. This paper describes a successful example of software evolution in the context of the applied-research project APPLICATION2WEB. The paper describes experience...

The accidents occurred during the operation/maintenance activities of US dams between 1984-2018 were analyzed from OSHA database and 88 cases selected. objective our study is to identify investigate potential hazards risk sources responsible for affecting OHS performance in activities. Further, factors injuries fatalities happened these are determined. It found out that 5.2% precaution negligen...

This paper presents an approach that aims to assist maintenance of component-based systems by means of Software Configuration Management techniques. These techniques support different activities of software maintenance, from the maintenance request up to implementation and integration. Moreover, some feedback about the relationship of component-based artifacts is provided by applying data minin...

OBJECTIVE Engaging in food activities and maintaining identity are each important for productive aging. This study explored the role of food activities in identity maintenance among community-living older adults. METHOD We used a grounded theory approach to analyze data collected in semistructured interviews with 39 predominantly White, British older adults living in West London. RESULTS Tw...

In all operating modes of a nuclear power plant lot activities take place, including maintenance, surveillance testing and modifications. Some these can impose temporary increase in risk level, as they may change the status equipment important to safety. Such increases are usually controlled by monitoring, which considers changes due (e.g. availability) systems functions. Risk monitors are, man...

Abstract In this paper, the optimization of maintenance management problem regarding airport pavements is addressed by developing a series fast computational procedures whose rationales pursue both practical and economical objectives. Particularly, study involves design five new heuristic algorithms replicating different strategies that can be undertaken managers in certain time horizon for red...
