The identification of hazards is of fundamental importance for the safe design and operation of safety-critical systems. A popular technique in this area is the Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP). The aim of this work is to give an overview of the technique as well as efforts in the literature to improve it, and to demonstrate the process with a small demo system.

Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are a modern data structure for handling Boolean functions. They are also an efficient means of analyzing fault trees. Since the order of variables has a large influence on the complexity of the resulting BDD, good heuristics are required to ensure efficient analysis. The aim of this work is to summarize a small collection of heuristics and apply them to an exemplary fault tree to compare their effectiveness.

Description Openness is defined in several ways in various fields. Openness with respect to systems engineering, is a scenario where in different systems can integrate with each other during operation to share information or exchange important certificates to achieve a common goal. Similarly, openness is defined in different way in case of industrial production. The ever changing market trends, customer specific requirements for various products have triggered the need of new production systems which are flexible and adaptable to these. But openness is another step further, in Production systems. Openness can be a solution to handle this ever changing market needs and make manufacturer a competent player in today’s economy.

Description Modern embedded systems are getting complex day by day, more connected and particularly complex and highly uncertain is the environment in which they are being deployed. System developers are not completely aware of where and how their systems will be deployed. This might result in operational uncertainties which might cause improper and sometimes accident prone functioning of the systems. Self-Adaptive systems (SAS) are expected to adapt to unanticipated events which occur during operation (Runtime) using imperfect information (uncertainty) about their environment. SASs provide functionalities like Self – Configuration, self – protection against threats and so on. Engineering such systems which will be self-aware and context aware is quite difficult. It will be useful to have a look into present approaches for engineering such systems and understand them.

Description CACC is extended version of Adaptive cruise control in cars. Systems / Vehicles with CACC are being used to form platoons on highways and claim to improve Performance, fuel efficiency while considering the safety of own and other vehicles, and humans involved as well. It will be interesting to know, exactly to what extent is it advantageous and feasible in actual traffic scenarios, which are highly dynamic in nature and also see if such systems can be reliable.

The growing complexity of modern information systems has lead to self-adaptive systems (SAS). These systems are capable of automatically modifying themselves in response to change in their ownselves or the operating environment. This modification is known as adaptation which is performed in multiple ways like: changing the parameters or the system structure. The objective of this seminar is to understand SAS, evaluate and categorize their adaptation techniques based on the type and domains in which SAS are used. The literature mentioned below is highly recommended but, is not limited to it.

The growing complexity of modern information systems has lead to self-adaptive systems (SAS). These systems are capable of adaptation in response to change in their ownselves or the operating environment. SAS is composed of adaptation logic and managed resources. The former controls the adaptation based on a metric. There exist multiple aspects to controls of adaptation for SAS. The objective of this seminar is to understand SAS and evaluate different adaptation controls based on their type and application domains of SAS. The literature mentioned below is highly recommended but, is not limited to it.

The growing complexity of modern information systems has lead to self-adaptive systems (SAS). These systems are capable of adaptation in response to change in their ownselves or the operating environment. For parameter and structural adaptation purposes, differt programming paradigms like: component based (CBSE), aspect oriented etc. can be used. The objective of this seminar is to understand the concepts of SAS w.r.t different programming paradigms and specially assess the pros and cons of CBSE for SAS based on their application domains. The literature mentioned below is highly recommended but, is not limited to it.

Instead of running software faster (i.e., with higher frequency), now days processors are being manufactured with the increasing number of cores that run software threads concurrently. Development of multithreaded software is complex and requires an appropriate support from programming languages. This seminar topic aims at investigating available libraries that support threads in C and C++, and their comparison. Comparison should investigate native thread support available in recent C/C++ standards (e.g., C++11, C++14), as well as other libraries (e.g., POSIX), and categorize capabilities introduced with every revision of standards. The comparison criteria shall focus on available synchronization mechanisms, portability, thread manipulation, sharing data, performance, support by IDE and compilers, annotations, operating system and bare metal support, etc. The topic also aims to investigate how functions offered by these libraries propagate to the operating system kernel functions.

This seminar topic aims at investigating available libraries that support threads in Java, and their evolution through time. The comparison criteria shall focus on available synchronization mechanisms, thread manipulation, sharing data, performance, support by IDE, annotations, etc. During the investigation, it is required to compare memory models of C++ and Java.

Instead of running software faster (i.e., with higher frequency), now days processors are being manufactured with the increasing number of cores that run software threads concurrently. Development of multithreaded software is complex and prone to bugs. This seminar topic aims at investigating available open source tools for finding concurrency bugs. The focus will be on ThreadSanitizer and Helgrind tools, but it is expected to add more tools to the list. The comparison criteria is identified by our FERA framework (execution Monitoring, supported synchronization primitives, concurrency bugs, software synchronization intentions, test case generation, coverage, precision, performance, programming language, benchmark). The topic shall also investigate support for the tools in different operating systems and IDEs.

Considering measured information about team performance provides an objective view of a Software Engineering team’s productivity. With data analyses, the measurements can be used to improve a team’s performance as well as social cohesion being substantial for the quality of a later product. Further, when developing new software that should support software development teams, such metrics with corresponding data can be used to evaluate the system. The goal of this seminar topic is to conduct a literature review about team metrics and compare existing approaches regarding their focus (e.g. team creativity, team cohesion) and the corresponding required data.
