Food safety problems such as the BSE and dioxin crises focused attention on traceability systems and the certification of such systems. This study analyzes the status and perspectives of traceability systems and certification schemes, and reviews their potential costs and benefits. Results indicate that traceability and certification in meat supply chains comprise a very dynamic area with an in...

Please cite this article in press as: Bergquist, B. The ability to track and trace products in a production process and in the transportation chain from supplier to customers is important for quality control and process improvements. However, good traceability is often difficult achieve for continuous process products as well as for batch produced products where batches intermix. In this paper,...

This thesis addresses the problem of model-to-model traceability in Model Driven Engineering (MDE). A MDE process typically involves models expressed in different modelling languages that capture different views of the system under development. To enhance automation, consistency and coherency, establishing and maintaining semantically rich traceability links between models used throughout the s...

The benefits of requirements traceability to understand architectural representations are still hard to achieve. This is because architectural knowledge usually remains implicit in the heads of the architects, except the architecture design itself. The aim of this research is to make architectural knowledge more explicit by mining homogenous and heterogeneous requirements traceability networks....

With the development of science and technology, the problem about the quality safety traceability of agricultural products has already become the hot topic of researchers in various fields. Cucumber is one of the main vegetable crops in China. It is convenient for eating and contains various beneficial minerals. With the constant expansion of the planting areas, it plays a more and more importa...

With the competitive differentiators of supply chain operation’s efficiency, food differentiation with credence attributes, quality enhancement and food safety, the concept of “traceability as strategy and mandatory initiative” has replaced that of “traceability as a cost of a business or as a voluntary responsibility”. This implies that the introduction of a traceability system should be perce...

Software traceability is becoming increasingly significant element in software development life cycle. From the software evolution point of view, software traceability is one of importance factor in facilitating software evolution. Unfortunately, practicing software traceability is much harder than it would appear. On the other hand, software evolution is inevitable since software must be conti...

Model management operations such as refinement and transformation modify existing or produce new models. To assist both engineers and tools in tracing the path of changes and decisions, maintenance of traceability information is essential. There are two main approaches for storing traceability; in the first, traceability information is embedded inside the models, while in the second, traces for...

Requirements traceability is an essential step in ensuring the quality of software during the early stages of its development life cycle. Requirements tracing usually consists of document parsing, candidate link generation and evaluation and traceability analysis. This paper demonstrates the applicability of Statistical Term Extraction metrics to generate candidate links. It is applied and vali...
