Industrial traceability systems are designed to operate over complex supply chains, with a large and dynamic group of participants. These systems need to agree on processing and marketing of goods, information management, responsibility, and identification. In addition, they should guarantee context independence, scalability, and interoperability. In this paper, we first discuss the main issues...

Many guidelines for safety-critical industries such as aeronautics, medical devices, and railway communications, specify that traceability must be used to demonstrate that a rigorous process has been followed and to provide evidence that the system is safe for use. In practice, there is a gap between what is prescribed by guidelines and what is implemented in practice, making it difficult for o...

This paper presents the traceability metamodel for Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and its implementation in Cameo Business Modeler plug-in for MagicDraw. There is no public standard traceability metamodel defined for BPMN yet. We present solutions that we have already applied in practice: we improve the traceability of BPMN models by defining derived properties that are calculated b...

N. Aizenbud-Reshef B. T. Nolan J. Rubin Y. Shaham-Gafni Traceability relationships help stakeholders understand the many associations and dependencies that exist among software artifacts created during a software development project. The extent of traceability practice is viewed as a measure of system quality and process maturity and is mandated by many standards. This paper introduces model tr...

Navel orange is one of the characteristic agricultural products in the middle region of china. The traceability system for navel orange can enhance consumer confidence due to the “stained navel orange” incident. Research on the navel orange traceability chain is the foundation and premise of building the traceability system. Based on the analyses of whole food chain of navel orange from origin ...

In the future, with the advent of the smart factory era, manufacturing and logistics processes will become more complex, and the complexity and criticality of traceability will further increase. This research aims at developing a performance assessment method to verify scalability when implementing traceability systems based on key technologies for smart factories, such as Internet of Things (I...

Establishing agricultural product quality safety traceability platform and barcode system have become a worldwide trend. Bee product traceability platform that can be used to identify all aspects from farm to table has been laid out based on China law and global standards. An integrated bee product traceability system which involving all of the process along the supply chain can be applied to i...

Traceability links between requirements and source code are often created after development. This reduces the possibilities for developers to use these traceability links during the development process. Additionally, existing approaches applied after development do not consider artifacts from project management, which are used for planning and organizing a project. These artifacts can serve as ...

Als wichtiges Kriterium für den erfolgreichen Einsatz von Traceability in der Praxis wird die Anpassung der Traceability-Links an konkrete Projekte genannt. Dabei geht es neben der Integration in den konkreten Softwareentwicklungsprozess und die spezifische Unternehmenskultur auch um eine Anpassung an die konkreten Aktivitäten, die mit Traceability unterstützt werden sollen. Es wird das Ergebni...

Several models proposed traceability links that provide pre–defined groups of links for requirements traceability. These models are limited to pre–defined links without the ability to add new attributes to the existing links. This work proposes a model for requirements traceability that generalizes the types of links already established in the literature and enables addition of new standards al...
