Talk at the 24th of May 2014 In this talk Michael Felderer presented two recently developed and evaluated testing approaches, namely a novel risk-based testing approach and testing with defect taxonomies, which use risks and defect taxonomies respectively to support system testing itself. For each approach the following topics were discussed: how it is used in all phase of the standard system test process, i.e., test planning, design, execution…

Dr. Miklos Biro (57) joined at the beginning of January the Process and Quality Engineer (PQE) team at SCCH. He holds a Ph.D. degree in mathematics (Loránd Eötvös University in Budapest), a Master of Science in Management degree (Purdue Universtiy, USA) and a Doctor Habilitatus degree /Corvinus University of Budapest). He worked as an associate professor and project director at the Dennis Gabor College in Hungary and has more than…

Various towns suffer from a lot of traffic. AUDIO MOBIL developed an automobile real-time data management, which transfers information of the car to a data center. In the process no conclusion to the driver or car owner are possible and the anonymity is assured. Only data like position, consumption, speed or temperature of the car are used. With that system traffic experts can gain relevant information about the current situation…

The IST research project ADVANCE (Asynchronous and Dynamic Virtualisation through performance ANalysis to support Concurrency Engineering) addresses the dynamic adaptation of concurrent applications based on statistical performance feedback. Multi-core/many-core systems offer potential, both for cheap, scalable high-performance computing and also for significant reductions in power consumption compared with conventional processor technologies. At the same time, cores are becoming increasingly complex and heterogeneous. While current programming technologies are (just) coping with the…

The aim of the research project (within the COIN programme) is to offer optimal consolidation between jobseekers and companies offering jobs. Therefore more specific, psychological well sustained ontologies are needed for the matching process. The following methods will be used in the research project * automated reasoning * ontology population * ontology learning * new scientific findings in the field of the incremental psychology Scientific project…

At present Within the COMET programme 27 companies work together with SCCH in different research projects. The aim of the research project from Froinus is to develop a domain specific language (DSL) which will simplify the handling of computer-operated machines. “We do expect a lot of creative input and scientific expert knowledge from SCCH”, states Manfred Wittman, who is responsible for this project at Fronius. Attractive research attendance…

Dr. Janos Botzheim, a Hungarian researcher at the Department of Automation (Szechenyi Istvan University, Györ), was invited by the Fuzzy Logic Laboratorium Linz (FLLL) and the Software Competence Center Hagenberg (SCCH) to give a talk about the topic „Bacterial Memetic Algorithms. Introduction and Applications“. Nowadays, various forms of genetic algorithms enjoy a great attraction for solving complex optimization problems in industrial processes and (quality) control systems for increasing product quality while…

More than 70 participants attended the information day on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA for everyone? Dr. Dirk Draheim, area manager of Database Technology, presented a far reaching overview including advantages, possibilities and utility of SOA. “It is the concept of a flexible, adaptable IT-architecture, which supports distributed data processing. Decision maker expect lower maintenance and integration cost as well higher efficiency of application development, increased reusability, and more…
