Traceability relations support stakeholders in understanding the dependencies between artifacts created during the development of a software system and thus enable many development-related tasks. To ensure that the anticipated benefits of these tasks can be realized, it is necessary to have an up-to-date set of traceability relations between the established artifacts. This goal requires the cre...

There is a growing requirement for an internationally accepted system of recognition of measurement capabilities and relationships within and among countries, to facilitate seamless global commerce and trade. As a result, metrologists worldwide have recently developed increased interest in the concept and definition of traceability. Classically, traceability provides a way of relating the resul...

With the development of modern logistics industry, traceability logistics of tobacco issues have been taken by the people. However, the traditional way of using ordinary paper bar code to record the information of tobacco products have some shortcomings such as easy to wear, short life, the limitation of usable range. As it can’t achieve product traceability of all aspects. In this paper, using...

Auf dem Workshop sollen Forschungsergebnisse auf dem Gebiet der Traceability in Softwareprojekten vorgetragen und diskutiert werden. Traceability ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Softwareentwicklungsprozesses. Man versteht darunter die Nachvollziehbarkeit der Umsetzung von Anforderungen über die verschiedenen Entwicklungsstadien hinweg, von einzelnen Entwicklungsaktivitäten, sowie von bestehen...

A (k, n)-traceability scheme is a scheme in which at least one traitor is detected from a pirate key if there are at most k traitors among n authorized users. It has four components: key generation, an encryption algorithm, a decryption algorithm and a tracing algorithm. Kurosawa and Desmedt found lower bounds on the size of keys and the size of ciphertexts of traceability schemes [1]. They als...

Agile methodologies represent a set of development processes in which both the requirements and the delivered solution evolve incrementally through a series of short iterations. Such projects are characterized by an emphasis on human interactions and collaborations, lightweight development processes, frequent deliverables, and minimal documentation (Ambler, 2004; Beck and Andres, 2004; Cockburn...

Requirements traceability allows us to assure the continuous concordance between the stakeholders requirements and the artifacts produced along the software development process. Although the important role of requirements traceability is widely recognized, the application level and consensus about associated practices are quite variable from one software development team to another. UML appears...

Global food industry and Governments in many countries are putting increasing emphasis on establishment of food traceability systems. Food traceability has become an effective way in food safety management. Aimed at the major quality problems of cereal and oil products existing in the production, processing, warehousing, distribution and other links in the supply chain, this paper firstly propo...

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15162 on “Software and Systems Traceability for Safety-Critical Projects”. The event brought together researchers and industrial practitioners working in the field of safety critical software to explore the needs, challenges, and solutions for Software and Systems Traceability in this domain. The goal was to explore the gap ...

Requirements are at the core of all project deliverables. Ensuring that all project requirements are achieved by the project can be difficult to validate if no further means of tracing requirements is employed. Requirements traceability hence is a critical component of any project, as it provides the ability for a project to articulate how any given requirement has been met by the project deliv...
