C# Traceability System, Luiz Fernando Capretz, Michael Kernahan, Miriam Capretz Jun 2005

C# Traceability System, Luiz Fernando Capretz, Michael Kernahan, Miriam Capretz

Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications

Traceability information is a valuable asset that software development teams can leverage to minimise their risk during production and maintenance of software projects. When maintainers are added to a software project post-production, they have to learn the system from scratch and understand its dynamics before they can begin making appropriate modifications to the source code. The system outlined in this paper extracts traceability information directly from the source code of C# projects, and presents it in such a way that it can be easily used to understand the logic and validate changes to the system.


Who Counts Your Votes?, Halina Kaminski, Lila Kari, Mark Perry Mar 2005

Who Counts Your Votes?, Halina Kaminski, Lila Kari, Mark Perry

Computer Science Publications

Open and fair elections are paramount to modern democracy. Although some people claim that the penciland- paper systems used in countries such as Canada and UK are still the best method of avoiding vote rigging, recent election problems have sparked great interest in managing the election process through the use of electronic voting systems. It is a goal of this paper to describe a voting system that is secret and secure as well as verifiable and useable over an existing computer network. We have designed and implemented an electronic voting system – Verifiable E-Voting (VEV) – with an underlying protocol …


Y: New Component-Based Software Life Cycle Model, Luiz Fernando Capretz Jan 2005

Y: New Component-Based Software Life Cycle Model, Luiz Fernando Capretz

Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications

With the need to produce ever larger and more complex software systems, the use of reusable components has become increasingly imperative. Of the many existing and proposed techniques for software development, it seems clear that component-based software development will be at the forefront of new approaches to the production of software systems and holds the promise of substantially enhancing the software production and maintenance process. Attempts to rationalize component-based development have to recognize that the construction of a software system is a complex multifaceted activity that involves domain engineering, frame working, assembling, archiving and design of software components. These activities, …
