Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) methods are incorporated into systems for the purpose of avoiding unanticipated failures that can impact system safety, result in additional life cycle cost, and/or adversely affect the availability of the system. Availability is the probability that a system will be able to function when called upon to do so. Availability depends on the system’s reliabil...

Six Sigma has been very successfully applied in manufacturing. Is it also applicable to software, and ICT? Six Sigma is about cost reduction by eliminating defects. Six Sigma uses the following three principles: 1. Focus on customers 2. Process orientation 3. Leadership based on metrics Applying Six Sigma to software development makes software projects transparent to both management and custome...

The modern information society will continue to emerge, and demand for wireless communication services will grow. Future generation wireless networks are considered necessary for the support of emerging services with their increasing requirements. Future generation wireless networks are characterized by a distributed, dynamic, self-organizing architecture (I. F. Akyildiz et al., 2006). These wi...

Requirement Engineering encompasses the tasks that go into identifying, determining and understanding the customer needs as well as the expectations from the proposed software system or an application, taking account of possibly conflicting requirements of various stakeholders.
