Traceability through physical labels is well established, but it is not highly reliable as physical labels can be easily changed or lost. Application of DNA markers to the traceability of food plays an increasingly important role for consumer protection and confidence building. In this study, we tested the efficiency of 16 polymorphic microsatellites and their combinations for tracing 368 fish ...

Controlling meat traceability using SNPs is an effective method of ensuring food safety. We have analyzed several SNPs to create a panel for bovine genetic identification and traceability studies. One of these was the transversion g.329C>T (Genbank accession no. AJ496781) on the cytochrome P450 17A1 gene, which has been included in previously published panels. Using minisequencing reactions, we...

Genetic diversity underlies the improvement of crops by plant breeding. Landraces of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) can contain valuable alleles not common in modern germplasms. The aim was to measure genetic diversity present in 47 most common tomato varieties grown in Italy, 35 were varieties used for processing and 12 were landraces considered "salad varieties". Furthermore, we demonstrate...

Establishing and using traceability and provenance between different models is a very important issue in complex software systems. Traceability in the small (local traceability) handles the trace information between model elements. Traceability in the large (global traceability) handles traceability information between models as a whole. Current solutions are more or less adhoc approaches that ...

This paper describes an approach to the problem of constructing software package selection models. This approach is based on an analysis of the contents of package description documents using rules which can: (i) extract selection criteria from descriptions of package features, (ii) structure the extracted criteria in a package selection model, and (iii) trace these criteria onto descriptions o...

Improving food safety, reducing the impacts of food safety problems, and providing a means to verify food quality attributes are driving the development of traceability initiatives in agri-food systems. Numerous and varied examples exist, from regulatory traceability initiatives, to industry-wide livestock traceability programmes, to individual supply-chain systems that combine traceability wit...

Software traceability is the ability to relate artefacts created during the life cycle of software development. Traceability is fundamental to support several activities of the software development process such as impact analysis, software maintenance and evolution, verification and validation. Despite the importance and advances in the software traceability area, traceability practice is still...

radio frequency identification (rfid) applications have spread all over the world. in order to provide their security and privacy, researchers proposed different kinds of protocols. in this paper, we analyze the privacy of a new protocol, proposed by yu-jehn in 2015 which is based on electronic product code class1 generation 2 (epc c1 g2) standard. by applying the ouafi_phan privacy model, we s...

In this paper we present a machine learning approach for generating requirements traceability relations. This approach is based on a new learning algorithm that produces traceability rules which are able to capture traceability relations between requirement statements specified in natural language and object models. The creation of these traceability rules is informed by examples of traceabilit...

This glossary entry explores traceability which is an increasingly prominent research topic in decentralised technosocial systems fields as diverse health, sustainability, finance, and supply chain management relates to the ability trace something or someone.
