  • This paper describes the varying material model, the analysis method and the software development for reinforced concrete circular columns confined by spiral or hoop transverse steel reinforcement and subjected to eccentric loading. The widely used Mander model of concentric loading is adapted here to eccentric loading by developing an auto-adjustable stress-strain curve based on the eccentricity of the axial load or the size of the compression zone to generate more accurate interaction diagrams. The prediction of the ultimate unconfined capacity is straight forward. On the other hand, the prediction of the actual ultimate capacity of confined concrete columns requires specialized nonlinear analysis. This nonlinear procedure is programmed using C-Sharp to build efficient software that can be used for design, analysis, extreme event evaluation and forensic engineering. The software is equipped with an elegant graphics interface that assimilates input data, detail drawings, capacity diagrams and demand point mapping in a single sheet. Options for preliminary design, section and reinforcement selection are seamlessly integrated as well. Improvements to KDOT Bridge Design Manual using this software with reference to AASHTO LRFD are made.

  • Prediction of fault-prone modules continues to attract researcher's interest due to its significant impact on software development cost. The most important goal of such techniques is to correctly identify the modules where faults are most likely to present in early phases of software development lifecycle. Various software metrics related to modules level fault data have been successfully used for prediction of fault-prone modules. Goal of this research is to predict the faulty modules at design phase using design metrics of modules and faults related to modules. We have analyzed the effect of pre-processing and different machine learning schemes on eleven projects from NASA Metrics Data Program which offers design metrics and its related faults. Using seven machine learning and four preprocessing techniques we confirmed that models built from design metrics are surprisingly good at fault proneness prediction. The result shows that we should choose Naïve Bayes or Voting feature intervals with discretization for different data sets as they outperformed out of 28 schemes. Naive Bayes and Voting feature intervals has performed AUC > 0.7 on average of eleven projects. Our proposed framework is effective and can predict an acceptable level of fault at design phases.

  • One of the activities to improve software quality in ISO 26262 is to apply the design principles for software unit design and implementation mentioned in ISO 26262-6, including the evaluation activity. Before evaluation activity, the tool is compared and selected for evaluation. Because the results of the tool a company selected might have an effect on product quality. In this paper, we suggest the method to compare industrial static analysis tools with some of "MISRA C : 2004 Exemplar Suite" and all lessons learned from comparing tools are described. The result on comparison shows that we just couldn't rely on a result of Static Analysis Tool and need to have another appropriate processes and guidelines to evaluate a software.

  • To manage collaborative negotiation in software system design, we have built a socio-technical argument-based negotiation management approach by integrating a Socio-technical Co-construction Process (STCP) with an Argument-based Negotiation Process (ABNP). This paper reviews relevant research work and presents each step of this approach. The STCP provides rich contextual information of technical decisions and social interactions in a system design process. The ABNP provides STCP with a negotiation management and conflict resolution strategy by guiding software engineers to generate, exchange and evaluate their argument claims in negotiation activities. In addition, this paper describes a prototype system which implements this new approach using the advanced Web-based software technologies with the goal of demonstrating how to systematically enhance the negotiation management capabilities in a dynamic socio-technical framework.

  • This paper describes the codesign method for IS-95 based CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access). By codesign we mean to design hardware and software simultaneously. Codesign lead to reduction in design time, cost and power consumption. When we partition a system into hardware and software, some modules with longer processing time and larger power consumption are implemented using hardware and the remaining part is implemented using software. In proposed design, we design the synchronous accumulator of CDMA searcher in hardware and the other part in software, The hardware part is designed using VHDL, while software part is designed using GC(Generic C). We simulated and verified the system using COSSAP in SYNOPSYSTM. Experimentation showed the maximum 48.5% speed reduction compared with the design using software only.

  • The paper presents the comprehensive studies of ISTQB(International Software Testing Qualification Board) for the reliable software development system in term of various aspects. It is critical to understand how the software testing is achieved is to efficiently manage the development process, to reduce the development cost, and to ultimately ensure the safety of the entire software system. This study may provide an enriched understanding about the rationale and true intent the behind software development model and testing design methods of ISTQB on software developer, test analysts, test engineers. In addition, this paper may serve as a useful supplementary material for the avionic engineers to establish the new regulations in avionic industries.

  • The importance of low-power embedded system is being increased. The studies on low-power system have been performed in issues of hardware architecture and operating system. However because the behaviors of software control the working of hardware devices, the power analysis of software is one of critical issues in energy-efficient embedded system development. This paper proposes a technique to extract tasks from software design models with considering power consumption. We first define the criteria for task extraction, and then propose the way to separate out the task from UML 2.0 design models. Our technique can provide the chance to reduce the power consumption as well as to fulfill the performance requirement in the early phase of software development.
