The need for automated traceability support has been advocated by various researchers and practitioners alike, as manual traceability is cumbersome and error-prone. Thus, many tools and approaches have been developed to overcome the limitations of manual traceability detection and usage. However, the large amount of available traceability tools is lacking suitable means for reasonable compariso...

The software artefacts at different levels of abstraction and at different stages of the development process are closely inter-related. For developers to stay in control of the development process, traceability information must be maintained. In this paper, we present the engineering of the Traceability Metamodelling Language (TML), a metamodelling language dedicated to defining traceability me...

Traceability is an important concern in projects that span different engineering domains. Traceability can also be mandated, exploited and managed across the engineering lifecycle, and may involve defining connections between heterogeneous models. As a result, traceability can be considered to be multi-domain. This thesis introduces the concept and challenges of multi-domain traceability and ex...

This technical report offers a vision for traceability in software and systems engineering and outlines eight challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve it. One of these challenges is referred to as the grand challenge of traceability because making traceability ubiquitous in software and systems development (traceability challenge eight) demands progress with all seven other chal...

Requirements traceability, regardless of the process used to produce a software system, is an important quality attribute for the resulting software product. However, existing approaches to achieving requirements traceability have been specifically designed for traditional software development with formal requirements processes. With the wide industry adoption of agile development methodologies...

Mussels are one of the most cultivated and commercialized bivalves worldwide and in southern Chile its culture represent an important economic activity. The species identification within the Mytilus genera, by morphological features, is unreliable, so we used a polymorphism RFLP in the gene encoding the polyphenolic adhesive protein as a species-specific genetic marker to describe Mytilus speci...

In this paper, we present an enhancement input in the traceability model of digital forensic investigation. Plus, we present a literature review about existing traceability models. Furthermore, the outcome of this model expected to help and improvise the traceability model with theoretically proven justifications. Keywords—Forensic, traceability, Scenario, Evidence

Pork from Jeju black pig (population J) and Berkshire (population B) has a unique market share in Korea because of their high meat quality. Due to the high demand of this pork, traceability of the pork to its origin is becoming an important part of the consumer demand. To examine the feasibility of such a system, we aim to provide basic genetic information of the two black pig populations and a...

Industrial traceability systems are designed to operate over complex supply chains, with a large and dynamic group of participants. These systems need to agree on processing and marketing of goods, information management, responsibility, and identification. In addition, they should guarantee context independence, scalability, and interoperability. In this paper, we first discuss the main issues...

Many guidelines for safety-critical industries such as aeronautics, medical devices, and railway communications, specify that traceability must be used to demonstrate that a rigorous process has been followed and to provide evidence that the system is safe for use. In practice, there is a gap between what is prescribed by guidelines and what is implemented in practice, making it difficult for o...
