A Study of Bugs Found in the Moby Configuration Management System

The study of bugs can provide important information to understand their nature in the context of complex software systems as well as supporting developers in their detection, fix and prevention. Previous studies focused on analyzing bugs under different perspectives such as changes at code level, frequency, semantics, symptoms, root causes and...

Boosting fitness for use of configuration management databases by user specific views

The goal of this research is to improve the fitness for use of the CMDB in the development phase of large infrastructure projects by identifying the information needs of the individuals. The construction industry is transiting from paper-based systems engineering to Model-Based Systems Engineering, especially in the development phase of large...

Analyzing, Designing & Implementing a Secure, Centralized, Generic, Extensible, Input-Sanitizing, Intuitive Configuration Management Station

This thesis describes the analysis, design and implementation of a management station that is able to support different security network products. It is designed to be centralized so it can support multiple devices from one interface. The management station is generic and extensible, to support a range of different products. As the management...

Knowledge management in an integrated design and engineering environment

Organisations and / or disciplines in Building and Construction projects are usually working in their own design and engineering environments and using their own Building Information Models (BIM). The discipline models are merged into a project BIM which is mainly used to check for interferences or other flaw geometrical interface conditions....

IRAS end-to-end datasystem

The development of a complex data system involving many disciplines requires a strict control from the early phases of a project onwards, to ensure that all requirements are met within the technical and financial constraints. To exercise such control becomes more difficult when different institutes/organizations contribute to the system, the...

Cost estimation and management control of software development in scientific/technical projects

Cost estimation of software development.and the monitoring and control of factors which affect the development cost is difficult due to the lack of uniformity in the development approach, to the lack of a standard terminology and due to the limited and difficult to access cost data bases. This report presents a cost estimation approach, together...
