Abstract:

Software is progressively entering in every aspect of human life. The number of devices and platforms surrounding and supporting humans in every day activitiy is continuously growing. These numerous devices and platforms are software based and interconnected over Internet in new 5G network which is virtual, software defined and reconfigurable. Furthermore, there is continuous grow of number of software services, variety of software application cases, big data that need software processing. On the other hand, the global software market is highly competitive and dynamic which introduces challenges for software development companies. In such conditions, current software and system engineering knowledge is inadequate to cope with reliability and safety system properties. New theories and knowledge are needed. Here in this project we integrate the software and system engineering research with telecommunication and automotive industry background and with aid of mathematical knowledge to yield new knowledge needed for engineering software system reliability and safety in global competitive market. In this project we will focus our efforts in following three branches of research:

1. Fault behavior in evolving software systems (Reliability modeling, Fault distribution and fault prediction)

2. Reliability and Safety in dynamic environments (Cloud, software defined networks and global market)

3. Software Development Organization Aspects
