The Hide and Seek Field Data Game
No full textSince around 80s, researchers and software engineers dealing with dependability of system and software products have recognized the crucial role of field data. Field data represent an attractive way for increasing the efficiency of testing activities and, once the product has been delivered, to improve the quality of subsequent releases. On the other hand, plenty of research studies have been conducted on techniques and methods for field data measurement of operational systems: from data filtering and analysis techniques to dependability measurements and improvements. Field data represent also a good opportunity for understanding source of failures. Examples are provided in Siewiorek et al. (2004), such as the one reporting failure data collected on the public switched telephone network (PSTN) which emphasize how failures in systems are due to the environment and operators. Despite these efforts, there is an increasing gap between software practitioners and researchers involved in the development of accurate and efficient methodologies for field data measurement campaigns. This paper tries to shed some light on this problem, which is a sort of "hide and seek game" of real world field data between industries and researchers. Here, the author tries to emphasize the importance of real collaboration between industries and the research community toward the definition of effective "design for dependability evaluation" methodolog

No full textThe New Stakes for National Cinemas, a Word on the Case of Italy, and an Interview with Ivan Cotroneo
Full text linkThis is an article on the state of Italian national cinema and an interview with scriptwriter/director Ivan Cotroneo on his directorial debut film and the history of Italian cinema. Cotroneo is a well know scriptwriter who directed and released his first film as a director in 2011, La kryptonite nella borsa . The film was screened at the Toronto Film Festival Lightbox centre and subsequenlty the director meet with a University of Toronto scholar for an interview
Innovative Technologies For Dependable OTS-Based Critical Systems
No full textThis book collects part of the research results from the Critical Software Tech- nology for an Evolutionary Partnership (CRITICAL STEP, http://www.critical- step.eu/), which is a Marie-Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP), belonging to call FP7-PEOPLE-2008-IAPP. The project aimed to establish the basis for long-term strategic research collaboration between partners in the growing and challenging domain of software for large-scale Safety-Critical Sys- tems (SCSs), based on the use of Off-The-Shelf (OTS), software components.
I was honored to coordinate this project with four great partners, very active in the research on dependability technologies for critical systems: SESM and Critical Software, from the industrial side, and CINI University of Naples and University of Coimbra, from the academic one. According to the FP7-PEOPLE-2008-IAPP funding schema, partners shared and combined their knowledge and use the existing synergies/complementarities to set long-term strategic bases to deal with the complexity of the next generation SCSs. The project was implemented via secondments and recruitments of 182 RM in total: 72 RM for recruitment of three experienced researchers and 110 RM for secondments of 13 research fellows from the participating organizations. The researchers involved in the Transfer of Knowledge (ToK), program between Industry and Academy have produced excellent results that this book presents. At the end of this experience, I do believe that the Marie-Curie IAPP project has the real potential of boosting the academic/ industry collaborations and, more in general, the skill of European-wide researchers.
This book is written for engineers and researchers working in the field of dependability. It comprises four parts, i.e., V&V Safety Critical Systems, Fault Injection, Security, and Monitoring and Diagnosing, with a total of 12 contribu- tions, written by researchers belonging to the project. Furthermore, the book provides three introductive papers about the research topics of the project.
Beyond the acknowledgments contained in the chapters of this book, I would like to especially thank the European Commission, which has financed the project and, in particular, Lionel Boillot, the project officer, for his continual support and advice. I would also like to thank Francesca Capobianco for her support in the organizational activities for this book
