Comparing results of natural language disambiguation tools with reports of manual reviews of safety-related standards
Biscoglio I, Ciancabilla A, Fusani M, Lami G, Trentanni G
Methods and tools for detecting and measuring ambiguity in texts have been proposed for years, yet their efficacy is still under study for improvement, encouraged by results in various application fields (requirements, legal documents, interviews, ...). The paper presents a fresh-started process aimed at validating such methods and tools by applying some of them to a semi-structured data corpus. This corpus represents results of manual reviews, done by international experts, along with their source texts. The purpose is to check how much results of automated analysis are consistent with the reviewers reports. The application domain is that of safety-related system/software Standards in Railway. Thus, if we increase confidence in tools, then we also increase confidence in Standard correctness, which in turn impacts in conforming products.DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-30985-5_15

Fiscal software certification: An Italian experience of certification against the fiscal legislation
Biscoglio I, Lami G, Trentanni G
This paper describes an experience of software certification in the specific fiscal software domain. The Italian Fiscal Software Certification scenario and the cash register, as specific kind of fiscal device running fiscal software, are outlined. Besides, some requirements, extracted from the current legislation, are shown. As the Italian legislation does not provide it, a Business Process Model (BPM) presenting the fiscal software certification process is illustrated. The BPM was built by means of a study of the current legislation and it constitutes the original contribution to the paper. Finally, the challenges of the further technological adjustments according to the Italian legislation are discussed.

An Empirical Study on Software Testing Practices in Automotive
Lami G, Biscoglio I, Falcini F
This paper presents the results of an empirical study aimed at characterizing and analyzing recurrent software development weaknesses in automotive industry. In the automotive domain software development is mainly demanded to specialized software suppliers that are required by car makers to improve and measure the process quality of their projects by applying process models such as Automotive SPICE (TM). The authors, as Automotive SPICE assessors, have directly recorded and identified specific software process improvement opportunities on the basis of the evidences gathered from real software development projects during a significant number of assessments performed at several organizations world-wide. This paper, that focuses specifically on the software testing-related processes, is a step of a wider study that the authors are carrying out. Such a study aims at identifying, using data from real automotive software development projects, common software development weaknesses having negative impact according Automotive SPICE (TM), in order to derive a picture of the state of the practice of software development in automotive and to provide researchers and practitioners with a reference for improvement initiatives aimed at solving those weaknesses.Source: COMMUNICATIONS IN COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE (PRINT), vol. 609, pp. 301-315.

PRESTO4U - Research Outputs Assessments v2
Bailer W, Biscoglio I, Boch L, Borgotallo R, Chakravarthy A, Falchi F, Gallo F, Ligios L, Laurenson P, Melas P, Pellegrino J
Project Deliverable 3. 3 Presto4U Research Output Assessments v 2 4 Scope The long -term preservat ion of digital audio- visual media presents a range of complex technological, organisational, economic and rights -related issues, which have been the subject of intensive research over the past fifteen years at national, European and international levels. A lthough good solutions are emerging, and there is a large body of expertise at a few specialist centres, it is very difficult for the great majority of media owners to gain access to advanced audio- visual preservation technologies. This deliverable 'Resear ch Outputs Assessment v 2' will describe the research outputs identified in year 2 of Presto4U, and which have the potential to address CoP needs and requirements. This document will also describe in detail, results of the assessment exercise carried out on identified ROs. The methodology for assessing these tools has been established as part of WP3 task T3.1 'Research Outcomes Assessment Methodology' documented in deliverable D3.1 'Specification of Assessment Criteria, Metrics, Processes, Datasets and Facil ities'. The deliverable is a direct outcome of Task 3.2 'Preservation Research Technology and Assessment'. The purpose of which is to identify and assess research outputs to establish their readiness for take -up. This deliverable is an update on D3.2 -- the lessons learnt in terms of assessment of tools from Year 1 are presented here. This is through updated test templates and improved tests in terms of their functional testing. Some of the tools needed to be re- tested in year 2 because of the updated tes t assessme nt templates. We also introduce two new categories of tools technical metadata extractors and vocabulary mapping. Further, the final Presto4U dataset is also described as part of this deliverable. A combination of open source free to download dat asets and in- house produced files turned out to be the ideal dataset for the testing of these ROs. Finally we present the results of the tool testing performed after collaboration with commercial vendors to test two hardware storage mechanisms (LTO6 and Optical Drives)Project(s): PRESTO4U

Reducing textual ambiguity risk in high-impact standards.
Biscoglio I, Fusani M
Safety-related standards indirectly impact into people's safety and environment integrity. The quality of these standards plays an important role in their correct and productive adoption. The paper is concerned with the analysis of the way standards are written, and in particular with the results of an automated textual inspection of five safety-related standards, aimed to discover possible inherent ambiguity of textual expressions. The analysis suggested that useful advice could be given to standard-making committees. Results of the analysis are shown and discussed.

Part of the task also involves creating an initial dataset for Pre sto4U which initially can be used by the ROs being assessed, and it is envisaged to be released as a public dataset at the end of the project in year 2. The details of the year 1 dataset are provided in this deliverable. Further, we report on technology tr acking and mapping exercise conducted during year 1 and the tools which have been developed to enable this task. We would like to note that this kind of activity has not been performed before and for this reason why the deliverable is released in two itera tions (year 1 and end of year 2). Any shortcomings of the work done in year 1 will be addressed in the next iteration. The assessment methodology will also need to be changed as more needs are gathered from the Communities of Practice during the course of year 2. This deliverable is a first attempt at formalising a methodology for assessment of research outputs in the AV preservation domains and map them to the needs from the CoPs.Project(s): PRESTO4U

A case study of requirements quality analysis
Biscoglio I, Coco A, Fabbrini F, Fusani M, Lami G, Marchetti E, Trentanni G
Requirements analysis occupies a prominent part in the activities of a product life cycle. Out of the various aspects of the analysis, those related to the quality of requirements can have a large impact in the quality of the final product. Since requirements are first conceived as natural language expressions, and intensive use of automation is advised to keep project cost at reasonable level, it seems opportune to develop requirements analysis by means of natural language processing techniques. In spite of the scarce interest drawn by these issues within the industrial environment, the advantages of adopting natural language processing techniques to improve the quality of requirements are thought worth of repaying some research efforts, so the issue has been studied for years in the academic world and several solutions are proposed in literature. In this paper, a short survey of the existing solutions is presented and an approach that makes use of a model, a tool and a process to analyse the quality of requirements is proposed and compared. Then the results of applying the approach to the case study of requirements for train-control design, issued by the European Railway Agency, are reported and discussed. Also an industrial experience of a Service Centre about requirement analysis is shown and related application research issues are proposed.

Can safety be obtained through good practices for requirement writing?
Biscoglio I, Fusani M, Gnesi S
Software Requirements analysis of quality characteristics as completeness, consistency and unambiguity assume an important role in the safety-critical software. We consider then the contributions to Natural Lan-guage (NL) Software Requirements Analysis as good practices or recommendations for producing high level quality NL requirements. From a survey of different approaches and solutions, it is possible to draw an incremental list of Good Practices (GP) for writing NL software requirements, making them understandable to their users, typically from the linguistic point of view, thus reducing the efforts for the analysis. The industrial experiences of two research/service laboratories about requirements analysis are compared with the suggestions of the literature and the technology, and the results are shown.
