Analysis of human behavioral patterns
PublicationWidespread usage of Internet and mobile devices entailed growing requirements concerning security which in turn brought about development of biometric methods. However, a specially designed biometric system may infer more about users than just verifying their identity. Proper analysis of users’ characteristics may also tell much about their skills, preferences, feelings. This chapter presents biometric methods applied in several...

Assurance Case Patterns On-line Catalogue
PublicationAssurance case is an evidence-based argument demonstrating that a given property of a system (e.g. safety, security) is assured. Assurance cases are developed for high integrity systems, as in many industry domains such argu-ment is explicitly required by regulations. Despite the fact that each assurance case is unique, several reusable argument patterns have been identified and pub-lished. This paper reports work on development...

Quality of Test Specification by Application of Patterns
PublicationEmbedded system and software testing requires sophisticated methods, which are nowadays frequently supported by application of test patterns. This eases the test development process and contributes to the reusability and maintainability of the test specification. However, it does not guarantee the proper level of quality and test coverage in d ifferent dimensions of the test specification. In this paper the quality of the test...
