I/UCRC for Advanced Computing and Communication: Architecture-Based Estimation of Software Reliability

这个为期两年的项目是一项涉及两个多大学产学研合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的合作“TIE”研究。普渡大学I/UCRC软件工程研究中心和杜克大学I/UCRC高级计算与通信研究中心将在“基于体系结构的软件可靠性评估”项目上合作。普渡大学的研究站点将：1.)评估基于模拟和执行的软件可靠性方法的价值，2.)调查可靠性估计的准确性，3.)调查使用界面突变来估计界面可靠性。杜克大学的研究站点将：1)研究组合覆盖和基于时间的方法来评估组件和应用程序的可靠性，2)研究组件间和组件内部依赖关系的依赖建模。在项目的第二年，这两个研究地点将与同一个大型商业系统一起工作。

ABSTRACT EEC-9714797 MATHUR This two year project is a collaborative"TIE" study involving two multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC). The Purdue University research site of the I/UCRC for Software Engineering and the Duke University research site of the I/UCRC for Advanced Computing and Communication will collaborate on the project "Architecture-Based Estimation of Software Reliability." The Purdue research site will: 1.) assess the value of both simulation and execution based approaches to software reliability, 2.) investigate the accuracy of reliability estimates and 3.) investigate the use of interface mutation for the estimation of interface reliability. The Duke University research site will: 1.) investigate the combined coverage and time-based approach for the estimation of component and application reliability and also 2.) investigate dependency modeling for inter- and intra- component dependencies. Both research sites will work together with the same large commercial system in the second year of the project.
