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 ...

The design of secure authentication solutions for low-cost RFID tags is still an open and quite challenging problem, though many algorithms have been published lately. In this paper, we analyze two recent proposals in this research area. First, Mitra’s scheme is scrutinized, revealing its vulnerability to cloning and traceability attacks, which are among the security objectives pursued in the p...

Users often wish to participate in online groups anonymously, but misbehaving users may abuse this anonymity to spam or disrupt the group. Messaging protocols such as Mix-nets and DC-nets leave online groups vulnerable to denial-of-service and Sybil attacks, while accountable voting protocols are unusable or inefficient for general anonymous messaging. We present the first general messaging pro...

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...

BACKGROUND In patient and population samples, generation of analytical results that are comparable and independent of the measurement system, time, and location is essential for the utility of laboratory information supplied in healthcare. Obtaining analytical measurement results with such characteristics is the aim of traceability in laboratory medicine. As awareness of the benefits of having ...

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 ...
