Assuring Design Diversity in N-Version Software: A Design Paradigm for N-Version Programming

The N -Version Programming (NVP) approach achieves fault-tolerant software units, called N Version Software (NVS) units, through the development and use of software diversity. To maximize the effectiveness of the NVP approach, the probability of similar errors that coincide at the NVS decision points should be reduced to the lowest possible value. Design diversity is potentially an effective me...

Description of personal knowledge management as a base for knowledge management.

Abstract Personal knowledge management has been developed in various fields such as knowledge management, personal information management, communication psychology and philosophy of science, management, communications, and so a lot of research to a few experimental or approved about (PKM) is a research that the original data is just a few pages. So research in this area seems to be very focuse...

Understanding Software Architectures: Tracing architectural knowledge in software architecture documentation

Introduction " The reality is more excellent than the report. " – Ralph Waldo Emerson This thesis is about understanding software architecture documentation and how the integration of software architecture description and rationale can improve this understanding. Understanding software architecture (documentation) is important in the complete life cycle of a software architecture; during develo...
