Thus, managing embedded systems software quality is necessary to. Relevant quality attributes are going to be met in embedded systems.Software quality attributes QAs such as reliability and modifiability have been used to define nonfunctional requirements of software systems for many years.founded on analysis of the software quality attributes at the architecture level. Attribute priorities the...

Particulate matter (PM) models are used for demonstration of progress in visibility under the Regional Haze Rule and the formulation of State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for the PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). For models to be used convincingly in the regulatory arena, they must first be shown to produce satisfactory performance . The evaluation of models is a data-intensi...

Architecture-based software development plays an important role in successfully developing and managing large and complex software systems. Recently, there have been a number of studies for designing, evaluating, or transforming architectures. However, there is not much work being done for closely connecting an architectural evaluation with an architectural transformation in order to achieve qu...

Component-based software development is becoming more generalized, representing a considerable efficient design for the embedded industry. The perspective of reduced development costs and shorter life cycles acts as a motivation for this expansion. However, several technical issues remain unsolved before embedded software component’s industry reaches the maturity exhibited by other hardware com...

Objective: To contribute with an overview on the current state of the art concerning metrics-based quality evaluation of software components and component-based assemblies. Method: Comparison of several approaches available in the literature, in terms of their scope, intent, definition technique and maturity. Results: Common shortcomings of current approaches, such as ambiguity in definition, l...
