There are a number of similarities between our work at the Software Assurance Forum for Excellence in Code (SAFECode) and the BSIMM effort. Both SAFECode and the BSIMM are focused on improving software security. Both have published documents1 about software security practices that offer approaches to advancing secure software development. And both the SAFECode and BSIMM papers can be used as pa...

In 2003 a working group established on the initiative of the Centre of Information Technology of Education under the Ministry of Education and Science, has been reviewing regulations for the assessment and certification of educational software. This article analizes the main aspects of the proposed orders. It discusses general structure of quality assurance system, the procedures for the certif...

1 1 This is an updated version of the guidelines presented to the Committee for the Coordination of Statistical Activities (CCSA) at its meeting in September 2009 [CCSA, 2009]. It takes into account comments received from members of the CCSA and as well recent developments on quality. The aim of the document is to further support the work of the CCSA for enhanced quality assurance of statistica...

The DARPA Information Assurance (IA) and Operational Partners in Experimentation (OPX) Programs have conducted over a dozen laboratory-based experiments involving live red teams since April 1999. This paper explores some of the lessons learned from the integrator’s perspective that are common among those experiments.

Models have begun to play an important role in environmental assessment and urban climate studies. Their increasing use, however, is paralleled by a growing awareness that the majority of these models have never been the subject of rigorous evaluation. Consequently there is a lack of confidence in the modelled results. The paper reports on a European initiative (COST 732) which was launched 200...
