The amount of software in modern cars is significant and is growing with releases of new cars. The evolutionary development of software systems means new releases require changes to the existing systems. The changes might have a positive and negative impact on the quality of the final product and software architects working with the changes often conduct impact analyses using metrics. In this paper, we present metrics used to measure the complexity and size of software systems with the purpose of identifying potential risk caused by the changes. The metrics are designed to support early phases of software development and to help reduce costly late changes to the architecture of the systems. Their main goal is to verify nonfunctional aspects of the system and identify parts that should be tested more in order to reduce the risk of deteriorated quality.

This paper reports experimental results on use of Lorentz-force transduction for RF micromechanical filters. Use of Lorentz-force transduction involves significant lower motional resistance compared to electrostatic methods. Clamped-clamped microbeams (ccμm) fabricated in CMOS35, PolyMUMPs, and UW-MEMS are driven electrodynamically and characterized for their transduction performance. Derived by Laser vibrometer mode-shapes and resonance characteristics of these microstructures as well as electrical measurements provide data for motional resistance computations. These results show the significantly lower motional resistance of the electrodynamically driven microresonators due to the larger electromechanical coupling. Furthermore, Lorentz-force driving of ccμm resonators to higher modes up to 9 th . mode is demonstrated.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are rapidly evolving and the notion of ad hoc networking has become one of the most challenging research areas of wireless communications. The rising popularity of real-time applications among end users in MANETs has stimulated a surge of research in routing and providing quality of service (QoS) support in such networks. Capacity estimation is a key component of any admission control scheme required to support QoS provision in MANETs. A number of schemes have been previously proposed to estimate residual capacity that is derived from window-based measurements of channel estimation. In this paper, a new capacity-constrained QoS-aware routing scheme is proposed. The novel part of this scheme is a simple additional mechanism to estimate residual capacity in IEEE 802.11-based ad hoc networks. The scheme proposes the use of a `forgiveness factor' to weight these previous measurements and, it is shown through simulation-based evaluation to provide improved utilizations estimation and better available capacity based admission control.
