A scenario-based reliability analysis approach for component-based software

This paper introduces a reliability model, and a reliability analysis technique for component-based software. The technique is named Scenario-Based Reliability Analysis (SBRA). Using scenarios of component interactions, we construct a probabilistic model named Component-Dependency Graph (CDG). Based on CDG, a reliability analysis algorithm is developed to analyze the reliability of the system as a function of reliabilities of its architectural constituents. An extension of the proposed model and algorithm is also developed for distributed software systems. The proposed approach has the following benefits: 1) It is used to analyze the impact of variations and uncertainties in the reliability of individual components, subsystems, and links between components on the overall reliability estimate of the software system. This is particularly useful when the system is built partially or fully from existing off-the-shelf components; 2) It is suitable for analyzing the reliability of distributed software systems because it incorporates link and delivery channel reliabilities; 3) The technique is used to identify critical components, interfaces, and subsystems; and to investigate the sensitivity of the application reliability to these elements; 4) The approach is applicable early in the development lifecycle, at the architecture level. Early detection of critical architecture elements, those that affect the overall reliability of the system the most, is useful in delegating resources in later development phases.

Organizational assimilation of complex technologies: an empirical study of component-based software development

The rapid rate at which new information technologies are emerging and their increasing complexity pose significant challenges for information systems departments in understanding and assimilating them. This has lead to a need for studies focused on the barriers to the adoption and assimilation of complex technologies. This research synthesizes the economic and organizational learning perspectives of technology adoption and identifies key adoption barriers, mechanism to reduce these barriers, and proposes a research model that interrelate these factors to the assimilation of complex technologies. The research context for this paper is the assimilation of one complex technology, namely, component-based software development (CBD) by information systems (IS) departments. Data collected from IS units in the United States is used to test the model using partial least square analysis. The results provide evidence that organizations better positioned to overcome knowledge barriers because of their knowledge stocks are likely to be further along in the assimilation process than others and that knowledge sharing by technology vendors positively influences technology assimilation by reducing the learning burden of the adopters. It was also found that exposure to signals from technology vendors reduced the technology uncertainty perceived by the adopters.

Concurrent software engineering: prospects and pitfalls

Software development remains largely a sequential, time-consuming process. Concurrent engineering (CE) principles have been more widely adopted and with greater success in hardware development. In this paper, a methodology for marrying CE principles to software engineering, or concurrent software engineering (CSE), is proposed. CSE is defined as a management technique to reduce the time-to-market in product development through simultaneous performance of activities and processing of information. A hierarchy of concurrent software development activity is defined, ranging from the simplest (within stage) to the most complex (across products and platforms). The information support activities to support this activity hierarchy are also defined, along with two key linking concepts-synchronicity and architectural modularity. Principles of CSE are developed for each level in the activity hierarchy. Research findings that establish limitations to implementing CE are also discussed
