the utilization of available source term information, associated engineering and personal protective equipment (PPE) control to remediate radioactive constituents, was discussed. Two field projects consisting a room containing both hazardous and radioactive constituents and a former reaction vessel containing approximately 568 Lt (150 gallons) of lime sludge and technetium-99 (Tc-99) were studied. the projects were organized using the Department of Energy's (DOE) Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS), which allowed the project teams to control work-related decision based on their knowledge, experience and expertise. these projects exemplify that using guidance provided by DOE's ISMS results in the safe and effective completion of projects.

the code written by a software developer is not always flawless. the more code is created the more errors are introduced into the system. In web development different programming languages can be used to implement back-end and front-end sides of the application. For example, it is possible to implement user input validation multiple times - it validates the input values on client-side using JavaScript before the data is sent to server and then the received data is validated again on the server-side. the logic is duplicated, changes made to the validation code must be synchronised on both sides. All implementations must be also unit tested, which increases the time required to create and maintain multiple sets of unit tests. In this paper, we will describe how white-box testing tool Pex can be extended to generate user input validation code for *** MVC web applications. the validation code won't be duplicated in JavaScript on the client-side and the application will be protected from sending invalid input values from the client-side. the testers can focus on testing using meaningful data input values. Testing of corner cases can be automated thus saving the available resources - testers involved in testing and time spent on testing.

there is a trending transition for companies from offering products to solutions in order to fulfill better customer needs and to reduce environmental impact by e. g. dematerialization. this solution-based development has an associated integration of intelligent devices that contributes to increasing system complexity. the ability of systems engineering processes, methods and tools to cope withthese developments is a critical factor for manufacturing companies today. Still, in many cases it is hard to find adequately trained people and sufficiently integrated development tools for complex solutions, especially in the case of small and medium sized enterprises. Often, the tangible (hardware) part of the solution is primarily developed and the intangible parts (software and services) are added on top. However, key for a successful development is to adapt and integrate all parts according to the requirements set for the solution. thus, it is essential how requirements are worked with during systems engineering and how they influence the development of the tangible and intangible parts of the solution. the objective of this paper is to study the approach of different industrial use cases for requirements engineering in system development. the aim is to identify how practices from domains like mechanical engineering, software or service engineering can be adapted for an integrated requirements engineering for complex systems, like product-service systems.

software cost estimation is a crucial yet very difficult task for a project manager at the very beginning of a new project. Since software projects are always different in nature, past projects may not necessarily cover all aspects of a new project when used as a basis for cost estimation. the CoBRA hybrid cost estimation technique uses expert knowledge to build a causal model of context-specfic cost factors and past project data to predict costs in terms of effort as well as to assess the risks of a project. Further practical advantages of CoBRA are its high level of interpretability and its transparency. While our previous studies have shown that it modified CoBRA called Web-CoBRA produces higher prediction accuracy, the method was not fully adopted by our industry partner because of its complex application steps when it is manually performed. In this paper, we report on our experiences with further automating Web-CoBRA basedsoftware cost estimation for a software company. It supports group decision-making processes by utilizing a wideband Delphi technique. We identify a range of problems when applying Web-CoBRA in the context of a software company and describe the approaches we used to solve these problems in our new tool called EffortWatch. Furthermore, we report on the evaluation and the effectiveness of EffortWatch using a technology acceptance model (TAM) questionnaire. the result is then compared with a previous study, showing EffortWatch drastically improves the use of the Web-CoBRA technique.
