Evaluation and Metrication of Object Oriented System

This paper presents some advances towards the quantitative evaluation of design attributes of object oriented software systems. We believe that these attributes can express the quality of internal structure, thus being strongly correlated with quality characteristics like analyzability, changeability, stability and testabilility, which are important to software developers and maintainers. In or...

Metrication of the urban speed limit and pedestrian fatalities

In the early 1960s the urban area speed limit was increased from 30 to 35 mph in Victoria and NSW. With the introduction of metrication in 1974 the urban area speed limit of 35 mph (56 km/h) was changed to 60 km/h throughout Australia. The reason why 60 km/h was selected is discussed. A study of the likely relationship between travelling speeds and the incidence of pedestrian fatalities was con...

Identifying Suitable Attributes for Security and Dependability Metrication

In this paper, we suggest a framework for security and dependability metrics that is based on a number of non-functional system attributes. The attributes are the traditional security attributes (the “CIA”) and a set of dependability attributes. Based on a system model, we group those attributes into protective attributes and behavioural attributes and propose that metrication should be done in...

Model Metrication in MOVA: A Metamodel-Based Approach using OCL

We present the metrication facility available in the MOVA tool and discuss its metamodel-based design: metrics in MOVA are OCL queries over the instances (automatically generated by the tool) of the MOVA metamodel corresponding to the user-depicted models. Thanks to this metamodel-based design, although the MOVA tool provides a collection of predefined metrics, the users can also write and exec...
