Technical debt management in automotive software industry
Lami G., Spagnolo G. O.
The suppliers of software-intensive electronic automotive components are facing technical challenges due to the innovation rush and the growing time pressure from customers. As the quality of on-board automotive electronic systems is strongly dependent on the quality of their development practices, car manufacturers and suppliers proactively focus on improving technical and organizational processes. Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) is today the reference standard for assessing and improving automotive electronics processes and projects in this setting. As car manufacturers use ASPICE to qualify their suppliers of software-intensive systems, such a standard becomes a market demand. This paper identifies and discusses the benefits and impact of the integration and harmonization of Technical Debt Management (TDM) in an ASPICE- compliant software development project. Besides this paper provides a conceptual framework and a reference process description for the integration of ASPICE and TDM practices in a sample Software Engineering process.Source: SEAA 2022 - 48th EUROMICRO Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications, pp. 294–297, Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Spain, 31/08 - 02/09/2022

Requirements management in automotive: an empirical study on process improvement areas
Falcini F., Lami G.
In the automotive domain the development of software-intensive components is mainly demanded to specialized suppliers that are required by car manufacturers a.k.a. OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to measure and, eventually, improve their development process by applying process models such as Automotive SPICE. Automotive SPICE is therefore a widely-Applied reference framework providing a set of requested practices in the development life-cycle, including requirements management. Requirements management is a key issue in automotive because the high volatility of requirements during projects and the need of interactions among different stakeholders. This paper aims at contributing in identifying what are the most frequent weaknesses in requirements management in automotive. The authors present the results of an empirical study aimed at characterizing and analyzing recurrent requirement management weaknesses in automotive. The authors, as Automotive SPICE assessors, have evaluated requirement management practices on the basis of the evidences gathered from real industrial development projects during a significant number of assessments performed at several organizations world-wide. This paper is intended to derive a picture of the state-of-The-practice of requirements management in automotive focusing on the development of software-intensive automotive components. The purpose is to provide researchers and practitioners with a reference for improvement initiatives aimed at solving those weaknesses.Source: IEEE International Symposium on Requirements Engineering, pp. 271–279, Online conference, 02-04/09/2020

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.Source: From Software Engineering to Formal Methods and Tools, and Back, edited by Maurice H. ter Beek, Alessandro Fantechi, Laura Semini, pp. 239–249.

Embracing software process improvement in automotive through PISA Model
Falcini F., Lami G.
Vehicles innovation is principally driven by electronics components and software that play today a predominant role for the vehicle's functions. Because the quality of on-board automotive electronic systems is strongly dependent on the quality of their development practices, car-makers and suppliers proactively focused on improvement of technical and organizational processes. In this setting, several reference standards for the assessment and improvement of automotive electronics processes and projects have been conceived and used in the last decade. Although the effects of the application of them in automotive industry have been generally positive, getting compliance in the short period may represent, in some contexts, a target hardly achievable, or even a chimera. In this context, a novel scheme addressing both project evaluation and process improvement and targeting a hand-on approach for the practitioners has been recently developed starting from the analysis of practitioners needs and success factors in the software process improvement. This scheme is named Process Improvement Scheme for Automotive (PISA Model). The structure and contents of the PISA Model is described in this paper.Source: PROFES 2019 - International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement, pp. 73–88, Barcelona, Spain, 27-29 November 2019

A tour of secure software engineering solutions for connected vehicles
Bertolino A., Calabrò A., Di Giandomenico F., Lami G., Lonetti F., Marchetti E., Martinelli F., Matteucci I., Mori P.
The growing number of vehicles daily moving on roads increases the need of protecting the safety and security of passengers, pedestrians, and vehicles themselves. This need is intensified when considering the pervasive introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) systems into modern vehicles, because this makes such vehicles potentially vulnerable from the point of view of security. The convergence of safety and security requirements is one of the main outstanding research challenges in software-intensive systems. This work reviews existing methodologies and solutions addressing security issues in the automotive domain with a focus on the integration between safety and security aspects. In particular, we identify the main security issues with vehicular communication technologies and existing gaps between state-of-the-art methodologies and their implementation in the real world. Starting from a literature survey and referring to widely accepted standards of the domain, such as AUTOSAR and ISO 26262, we discuss research challenges and set baselines for a holistic secure-by-design approach targeting safety and security aspects all along the different phases of the development process of automotive software.Source: Software quality journal 26 (2018): 1223–1256. doi:10.1007/s11219-017-9393-3

A novel model for development project assessment in automotive
Falcini F., Lami G.
In the last two decades, automotive witnessed a continuous and unstoppable trend to innovation. Vehicles innovation is principally driven by electronics components and software that play today a predominant role for the vehicle's functions. Because the quality of on-board automotive electronic systems is strongly dependent on the quality of their development practices, car-makers and suppliers proactively focused on improvement of technical and organizational processes. In this setting, Automotive SPICE became a reference standard for the assessment and improvement of automotive electronics processes and projects. The effects of the application of Automotive SPICE in automotive industry have been substantially positive in terms of process awareness, possibility of benchmarking, development discipline, and incitement to improvement. Nevertheless, getting compliant in the short period to Automotive SPICE requirements may represent, in some contexts, a target hardly achievable, or even a chimera. In this paper we present a novel automotive-specific scheme for process evaluation and improvement. This scheme has been conceived taking into account the authors experience in automotive as Automotive SPICE principal assessors and it aims at setting up basic objectives in terms of process performance in terms of discipline, technical soundness and completeness in project deployment. The scheme is going to be validated by performing trials with real projects.Source: SPICE 2018 - International Conference on Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination, pp. 73–85, Thessaloniki, Greece, 9-10 October 2018

Deep Learning in Automotive Software
Falcini F., Lami G., Mitidieri A. C.
Deep-learning-based systems are becoming pervasive in automotive software. So, in the automotive software engineering community, the awareness of the need to integrate deep-learning-based development with traditional development approaches is growing, at the technical, methodological, and cultural levels. In particular, data-intensive deep neural network (DNN) training, using ad hoc training data, is pivotal in the development of software for vehicle functions that rely on deep learning. Researchers have devised a development lifecycle for deep-learning-based development and are participating in an initiative, based on Automotive SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination), that's promoting the effective adoption of DNN in automotive software. This article is part of a theme issue on Automotive Software.Source: IEEE software 34 (2017): 56–63. doi:10.1109/MS.2017.79

Challenges in certification of autonomous driving systems
Falcini F., Lami G.
Autonomous Driving is the next frontier of the automotive industry. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are going to be pervasively used in modern automobiles. New ADAS are principally based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, and in particular on deep learning. While the automotive community is aware of the important changes such a technology demands in terms of technical skills, development paradigms, and cultural approach, there is still a important lack to be filled in the availability of technical standards and, consequently, in terms of certification capability. The existing standards, in fact, are more or less explicitly referring to a traditional way of developing software and systems, so they not suitable at all to be applied to ADAS. In this paper the open issues in certification of AI technologies in automotive are addressed by providing an overview of the existing standards and the related applicability issues.Source: IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops, pp. 286–293, Toulouse, France, 23-26/10/2017

Deep learning in automotive: Challenges and opportunities
Falcini F., Lami G.
The interest of the automotive industry in deep-learning-based technology is growing and related applications are going to be pervasively used in the modern automobiles. Automotive is a domain where different standards addressing the software development process apply, as Automotive SPICE and, for functional safety relevant products, ISO 26262. So, in the automotive software engineering community, the awareness of the need to integrate deep-learning-based development with development approaches derived from these standards is growing, at the technical, methodological, and cultural levels. This paper starts from a lifecycle for deep-learning-based development defined by the authors, called W-model, and addresses the issue of the applicability of Automotive SPICE to deep-learning-based developments. A conceptual mapping between Automotive SPICE and the deep learning lifecycles phases is provided in this paper with the aim of highlighting the open issues related to the applicability of automotive software development standards to deep learning.Source: Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination. 17th International Conference, pp. 279–288, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 4-5/10/2017

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.Source: International Workshop on DomAin Specific Model-Based AppRoaches to vErificaTion and validaTiOn, pp. 54–61, Rome, Italy, 19 February 2016

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: Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination. 16th International Conference, pp. 301–315, Dublin, Ireland, 9-10 June 2016
