Software engineering typically requires more effort in maintenance than in development time. As such, software engineering education needs to actively include software evolution. Teaching software evolution to undergraduate students usually includes the theoretical aspects, but doesn’t normally include the actual implementation. This paper describes the practice of teaching software evolution t...

Inheritance-based metrics are a major component of object-oriented metric suites. Corrective maintenance data of an 82,000-line C++ patient collaborative care system was analyzed. There was no significant correlation between the effort to fix residual faults and three of the four inheritance-based metrics that were included in this study. All the interclass and intraclass metrics displayed a st...

This chapter proposes a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) method for fault diagnosis and prognosis of manufacturing systems, machines, components, and processes. The aim of this work is to optimize the condition monitoring of the health of the system. With this method, manufacturing faults can be classified, and the degradations can be predicted very effectively and clearly. A good maintenance scheduli...

A well-functioning process for reporting, analysing and resolving software problems is an important vehicle for establishing and retaining control over the development and maintenance of software products. In this paper, we present such a process, its state of practice and its role within corrective software maintenance. This process is utilised at ABB Robotics AB, and is called System Progress...

Nowadays, industrial necessities claims global management procedures integrating information systems in order to manage and to use the controlled-processes information and thus, to assure a good process behaviour. These aspects aim to the development of fault detection and diagnosis systems and makingdecision systems. In this work, a reference model for fault management in industrial processes ...

Many authors have studied repairable redundant system operating in different condition under the assumption that the system received corrective maintenance at failure and preventive maintenance before failure. However, little or no attention is paid on whether the system can receive minor and major maintenance when it is operating in a reduced capacity state. In this study we consider a redunda...
