Developing a distributed electronic health-record store for India

The DIGHT project is addressing the problem of building a scalable and highly available information store for the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) of the over one billion citizens of India

Towards a methodology for rigorous development of generic requirements patterns

We present work in progress on a methodology for the engineering, validation and verification of generic requirements using domain engineering and formal methods. The need to develop a generic requirement set for subsequent system instantiation is complicated by the addition of the high levels of verification demanded by safety-critical domains such as avionics. We consider the failure detection and management function for engine control systems as an application domain where product line engineering is useful. The methodology produces a generic requirement set in our, UML based, formal notation, UML-B. The formal verification both of the generic requirement set, and of a particular application, is achieved via translation to the formal specification language, B, using our U2B and ProB tools

A Review on Software Architecture Optimization Methods

Due to the remarkable mechanical request for programming frameworks, the expansion of the uncertainty, the quality requirements and quality of testing, the programming engineering configuration has been transformed into essential progression movement and the examination site is developing rapidly. In the recent decades, programming engineering involves improved technologies, which means to organize a scan for design outline for an arrangement of value attributes, have multiplied. In any case, the results shown are divided into different research groups, many framework areas and different quality features. Coming about the inclusion of current research, we have played a well-structured writing survey and have broken the result of various check-sheets of different research groups. Considering this study, a scientific classification has been done which is used for current research. Apart from this, the effective investigation of the examination writing given in this audit is expected to help in exploration and merging the current research endeavors and inferring an examination plan for future advancements

GPU devices for safety-critical systems: a survey

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) devices and their associated software programming languages and frameworks can deliver the computing performance required to facilitate the development of next-generation high-performance safety-critical systems such as autonomous driving systems. However, the integration of complex, parallel, and computationally demanding software functions with different safety-criticality levels on GPU devices with shared hardware resources contributes to several safety certification challenges. This survey categorizes and provides an overview of research contributions that address GPU devices’ random hardware failures, systematic failures, and independence of execution.This work has been partially supported by the European Research Council with Horizon 2020 (grant agreements No. 772773 and 871465), the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under grant PID2019-107255GB, the HiPEAC Network of Excellence and the Basque Government under grant KK-2019-00035.
