A trend in software reliability engineering is to take into account the coverage growth behavior during testing. A coverage growth function that represents the coverage growth behavior is an essential factor in software reliability models. When multiple competitive coverage growth functions are available, there is a need for a criterion to select the best coverage growth functions. This paper proposes a selection criterion based on the prediction error. The conditional coverage growth function is introduced for predicting future coverage growth. Then the sum of the squares of the prediction error is defined and used for selecting the best coverage growth function.

Coverage-based software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been developed and successfully applied in practice. Performance of a coverage-based SRG M depends on the coverage function employed by the SRGM. When the coverage function represents the coverage growth behavior well irrespective of type of the testing profile the corresponding coverage-based SRGM is expected to be widely applicable. This paper first conducts a study of selecting the most representative coverage functions among the available coverage functions. Then their performances are empirically evaluated and compared. The result provides a foundation for developing widely applicable coverage-based SRGMs and monitoring the progress of a testing process.

A recent trend in software reliability engineering accounts for the coverage growth behavior during testing. The coverage growth function (representing the coverage growth behavior) has become an essential component of software reliability models. Application of a coverage growth function requires the estimation of the coverage growth function. This paper considers the problem of estimating the coverage growth function. The existing maximum likelihood method is reviewed and corrected. A method of minimizing the sum of squares of the standardized prediction error is proposed for situations where the maximum likelihood method is not applicable.

There is a new trend of incorporating software coverage metrics into software reliability modelling. This paper proposes a coverage-based software reliability growth model. Firstly, the failure rate function in coverage is analytically derived. Then it is shown that the number of detected faults follows a Nonhomogeneous Poisson distribution of which intensity function is the failure rate function in coverage. Practical applicability of the proposed models is examined by illustrative numerical examples.

Coverage-based NHPP SRGMs have been introduced in order to incorporate the coverage growth behavior into the NHPP SRGMs. The coverage growth function representing the coverage growth behavior during testing is thus an essential factor of the coverage-based NHPP SRGMs. This paper proposes a class of discrete time coverage growth functions and illustrates its application to real data sets.

W(123) 표면위에 수소와 중소수가 흡착될 때 일함수의 변화를 장방출(Field Fmission) 방법으로 측정하였다. 78K에서 이 분자들이 흡착될 때 일함수의 변화는 처음에 는 증가하다가 최대치에 이른 후 감소하였고, 덮임율(coverage)이 증가함에 따라 포화되었 다. 텅스텐 tip의 온도를 200K까지 올렸을 경우에, 일함수의 변화가 최대가 되었을 때의 덮 임율은 78K일 때의 비해 낮은 덮임율 쪽으로 이동하였고, [011] 방향을 갖는 step 혹은 terrace에 의한 일함수의 효과도 동시에 관측되었다.

It is common to measure multiple coverage metrics during software testing. Software reliability growth models and coverage growth functions have been applied to each coverage metric to evaluate software reliability; however, analysis results for the individual coverage metrics may conflict with each other. This paper proposes the virtual coverage metric of a normalized first principal component in order to avoid conflicting cases. The use of the virtual coverage metric causes a negligible loss of information.

본 논문에서는 이동 에드혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad hoc network: MANET)에서의 상황인식 기반의 스케쥴링 기법인 CSWC(Coverage Scheduling Weight-value Control) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 LEACH 알고리즘은 확률적 분포 함수에 의해 커버리지 영역 안에 존재 하는 클러스터 헤드노드를 선택하여 중계노드로 통신한다. 하지만 확률적 분포함수에 의해 선택된 헤드 노드가 커버리지 영역에서 전송거리 비율이 비균형으로 나뉘어 전송할 경우, 노드의 에너지 소모가 일정하지 않아 효율적으로 사용하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최적의 커버리지 영역을 설정하여 유지하는 CSWC알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 커버리지 영역이 비균형으로 설정되어 있을 경우, 커버러지 영역을 결정하는 홉 수를 증가시켜 최적의 커버리지 영역을 제공하는 알고리즘이다. 주어진 모의실험 환경에서 노드의 효율적인 커버리지 영역을 설정하여 네트워크의 최적화된 에너지 소모를 보여주고 있다.

The CO molecules adsorbed on Ni(111) surface is studied in the cluster approximation employing EH method with self-consistent charge iteration. The effect of CO coverage is simulated by allowing the variation of valence state ionization potentials of each Ni atom in model cluster according to the self-consistent charge iteration method. The CO coverage dependent C-O stretching frequency shift, adsorption site conversion, and metal work function change are attributed to the charge transfer between metal surface and adsorbate. For CO/Ni(111) system, net charge transfer from Ni surface to chemisorbed CO molecules makes surface Ni atoms be more positive with increasing coverage, and lowers Ni surface valence band. This leads to a weaker interaction between metal surface valence band and Co $2{\pi}^{\ast}$ MO, less charge transfer to a single CO molecule, and the bule shift of C-O stretching frequency. Further increase of coverage induces the conversion of 3-fold site CO to lower coordination site CO as well as the blue shift of C-O stretching frequency. This whole process is accompanied by the continuous increase of metal work function.
