Book excerpt: This book reviews existing operational software failure analysis techniques and proposes near-miss analysis as a novel, and new technique for investigating and preventing software failures. The authors provide details on how near-miss analysis techniques focus on the time-window before the software failure actually unfolds, so as to detect the high-risk conditions that can lead to a major failure. They detail how by alerting system users of an upcoming software failure, the detection of near misses provides an opportunity to collect at runtime failure-related data that is complete and relevant. They present a near-miss management systems (NMS) for detecting upcoming software failures, which can contribute significantly to the improvement of the accuracy of the software failure analysis. A prototype of the NMS is implemented and is discussed in the book. The authors give a practical hands-on approach towards doing software failure investigations by means of near-miss analysis that is of use to industry and academia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial and domestic piping is increasingly made from various plastics and composites, and these materials withstand heavy use over long periods. They are, however, affected by environmental and other factors over time and can degrade, causing major problems within piping systems. Farshad's book deals with why plastic pipes and systems fail, and with how to investigate and diagnose such failures. Pipes may buckle, fracture, change in dimensions and colour, blister and delaminate, corrode through stress, be abraded and obstructed: all these cause problems and lead to loss of efficient operation of a system. The author's experience is backed up by a large data-base of results - Wide target audience - Only book covering the entire subject - Unique approach based on long experience

Download or read book A Near miss Analysis Model for Improving the Forensic Investigation of Software Failures written by Madeleine Adrienne Bihina Bella and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing complexity of software applications can lead to operational failures that have disastrous consequences. In order to prevent the recurrence of such failures, a thorough post-mortem investigation is required to identify the root causes involved. This root-cause analysis must be based on reliable digital evidence to ensure its objectivity and accuracy. However, current approaches to software failure analysis do not promote the collection of digital evidence for causal analysis. This leaves the system vulnerable to the reoccurrence of a similar failure. A promising alternative is offered by the field of digital forensics. Digital forensics uses proven scientific methods and principles of law to determine the cause of an event based on forensically sound evidence. However, being a reactive process, digital forensics can only be applied after the occurrence of costly failures. This limits its effectiveness as volatile data that could serve as potential evidence may be destroyed or corrupted after a system crash. In order to address this limitation of digital forensics, it is suggested that the evidence collection be started at an earlier stage, before the software failure actually unfolds, so as to detect the high-risk conditions that can lead to a major failure. These forerunners to failures are known as near misses. By alerting system users of an upcoming failure, the detection of near misses provides an opportunity to collect at runtime failure-related data that is complete and relevant. The detection of near misses is usually performed through electronic near-miss management systems (NMS). An NMS that combines near-miss analysis and digital forensics can contribute significantly to the improvement of the accuracy of the failure analysis. However, such a system is not available yet and its design still presents several challenges due to the fact that neither digital forensics nor near-miss analysis is currently used to investigate software failures and their existing methodologies and processes are not directly applicable to failure analysis. This research therefore presents the architecture of an NMS specifically designed to address the above challenges in order to facilitate the accurate forensic investigation of software failures. The NMS focuses on the detection of near misses at runtime with a view to maximising the collection of appropriate digital evidence of the failure. The detection process is based on a mathematical model that was developed to formally define a near miss and calculate its risk level. A prototype of the NMS has been implemented and is discussed in the thesis.

Download or read book Computer Applications for Handling Legal Evidence Police Investigation and Case Argumentation written by Ephraim Nissan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 1375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of computer techniques and tools — especially from artificial intelligence (AI) — for handling legal evidence, police intelligence, crime analysis or detection, and forensic testing, with a sustained discussion of methods for the modelling of reasoning and forming an opinion about the evidence, methods for the modelling of argumentation, and computational approaches to dealing with legal, or any, narratives. By the 2000s, the modelling of reasoning on legal evidence has emerged as a significant area within the well-established field of AI & Law. An overview such as this one has never been attempted before. It offers a panoramic view of topics, techniques and tools. It is more than a survey, as topic after topic, the reader can get a closer view of approaches and techniques. One aim is to introduce practitioners of AI to the modelling legal evidence. Another aim is to introduce legal professionals, as well as the more technically oriented among law enforcement professionals, or researchers in police science, to information technology resources from which their own respective field stands to benefit. Computer scientists must not blunder into design choices resulting in tools objectionable for legal professionals, so it is important to be aware of ongoing controversies. A survey is provided of argumentation tools or methods for reasoning about the evidence. Another class of tools considered here is intended to assist in organisational aspects of managing of the evidence. Moreover, tools appropriate for crime detection, intelligence, and investigation include tools based on link analysis and data mining. Concepts and techniques are introduced, along with case studies. So are areas in the forensic sciences. Special chapters are devoted to VIRTOPSY (a procedure for legal medicine) and FLINTS (a tool for the police). This is both an introductory book (possibly a textbook), and a reference for specialists from various quarters.

Download or read book Failure Modes Based Software Reading written by Yang-Ming Zhu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying failure modes and their effects is critical to software failure mode and effects analysis and it largely depends on the analysts’ experience and the skill. This book develops a series of reading techniques based on common and prioritized failure modes in software requirements, software design, coding, and usability in order to makes the benefits of software failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) readily accessible to general software practitioners, particularly in small teams and resource-constrained organizations. After a general introduction it offers an overview of software FMEA and discusses software review procedures and software reading techniques. Subsequent chapters present the basic ideas behind failure-modes-based reading techniques and examine the use of these techniques for software requirements, software design, software coding, software usability, and software testing. Covering the entire creation process, and including checklists and examples, it provides an easy introduction to the topic for professionals in software engineering and quality assurance.

Download or read book Software Reliability Experiments Data Analysis and Investigation written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives are to investigate the fundamental reasons which cause independently developed software programs to fail dependently, and to examine fault tolerant software structures which maximize reliability gain in the presence of such dependent failure behavior. The authors used 20 redundant programs from a software reliability experiment to analyze the software errors causing coincident failures, to compare the reliability of N-version and recovery block structures composed of these programs, and to examine the impact of diversity on software reliability using subpopulations of these programs. The results indicate that both conceptually related and unrelated errors can cause coincident failures and that recovery block structures offer more reliability gain than N-version structures if acceptance checks that fail independently from the software components are available. The authors present a theory of general program checkers that have potential application for acceptance tests. Walker, J. Leslie and Caglayan, Alper K. Unspecified Center...
