Semantic alignment of application software components’ ontologies represents a great interest in vehicle application domains that manipulate heterogeneous overlapping knowledge application frameworks. In the past few years, with the growth in the novel vehicle service requirements such as autonomous driving, V2X (Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication) and many others, automotive application software component models are becoming increasingly collaborative with other qualified cross-enterprise industrial partners to accomplish these complex service requirements. The most daunting impediment to this cross-enterprise collaboration is semantic interoperability. For efficient services collaboration through cross-enterprise semantic interoperability between the vehicle application frameworks’ software components, aligning the interface ontologies of these components by identifying the depth of semantic alignment relationships between the concepts of the interface ontologies is the major focus of this paper. In contrast to several existing ontology structural metrics, this work defines, evaluates and validates ontology metrics to measure the depth of semantic alignment between the vehicle domain software component frameworks’ interface ontological models. To emphasize the substantial role of semantic alignment of software component frameworks’ interface ontologies in semantic interoperability, a typical vehicle domain case study involving vehicle applications is considered for demonstration.

Software reuse can improve software quality with the reducing cost and development time. Systematic reuse plan enhances cohesion and reduces coupling for better testability and maintainability. Software reuse approach can be adopted at the highest extent if relevant software components can be easily searched, adapted and integrated into new system. Large software industries hold their own well managed component libraries containing well tested software component with the project category based classification .Access to these repositories are very limited. Software reuse is facing so many problems and still not so popular. This is due to issues of general access, efficient search and adoption of software component. This paper propose a framework which resolves all of the above issues with providing easy access to components, efficient incremental semantics based search, repository management, versioning of components.

A personalized search robot is developed as one major mechanism of a personalized software component retrieval system. This search robot automatically finds out the Web servers providing reusable software components, extracts needed software components from servers, classifies the extracted components, and finally establishes their indexing information for local component retrieval in the future. For adaptively tuning the performance of software component extraction and classification, an adaptive thesaurus and an adaptive classifier, realized by neuro-fuzzy models, are embedded in this search robot, and their learning algorithms are also developed. A prototype of the personalized software component retrieval system including the search robot has been implemented to confirm its validity and evaluate the performance. Furthermore, the framework of proposed personalized search robot could be extended to the search and classification of other kinds of Internet documents.

Due to advancements in science and technology, software is constantly evolving. To adapt to newly demanded requirements in a piece of software, software components are modified or developed. Measuring software completeness has been a challenging task for software companies. The uncertain and imprecise intrinsic relationships within software components have been unaddressed by researchers during the validation process. In this study, we introduced a new fuzzy logic testing approach for measuring the completeness of software. We measured the fuzzy membership value for each software component by a fuzzy logic testing approach called the fuzzy test. For each software component, the system response was tested by identifying which software components in the system required changes. Based on the measured fuzzy membership values for each software component, software completeness was calculated. The introduced approach scales the software completeness between zero and one. A software component with a complete membership value indicates that the software component does not require any modification. A non-membership value specifies that the existing software component is no longer required in the system or that a new software component is required to replace it. The partial membership value specifies that the software component requires few new functionalities according to the new software requirements. Software with a partial membership value requires partial restructuring and design recovery of its components. Symmetric design of software components reduces the complexity in the restructuring of software during modification. In the study, we showed that by using the introduced approach, high-quality software that is faultless, reliable, easily maintained, efficient, and cost-effective can be developed.

Происходящие в мире события свидетельствуют о возрастании угрозы перехвата управления системами с критической миссией (СКМ). Приводятся конкретные примеры инцидентов, один из них — массовые отключения электроэнергии в Венесуэле. Обосновывается необходимость разработки технологии создания цифровых систем управления, обеспечивающей парирование угрозы перехвата управления и нештатного функционирования систем с критической миссией. В основе этой технологии — концепция цифровых двойников объектов управления цифровых систем управления этими объектами, включая все аппаратные и программные компоненты, а также интеллектуальные средства самоконтроля и самокоррекции функционирования элементной базы, вычислительной и коммуникационной техники, базового и прикладного программного обеспечения. There is an ongoing threat of control interception in mission-critical systems (MCS). Specific examples of such incidents are presented, one of them is the massive power outages in Venezuela. We specify the reasons for creating an approach to developing digital control systems for MCS resistant to control interception and abnormal functioning. This technology is based on the digital twin concept. A twin represents all the hardware and software components, as includes smart tools for the hardware, core and application software self-monitoring and self-correction.

Vehicular Communication is designed for enhancing road safety and support autonomous driving becoming very popular in the present scenario. The proposed system aims to design a suitable and secured system for overtaking on highways. The main problem faced while driving vehicle on highways is to overtake a larger vehicle on narrow roads, where the driver visibility is limited and it is very risky to overtake from right side as there is a high probability of colliding with the vehicles coming in opposite direction. The proposed system solves the problem by establishing ad-hoc connection in 5G environment with the vehicle to be overtaken. The system consists of a communication unit designed with a controller along with various options which are used to decide when the vehicle can safely overtake. In this way the driver can safely overtake the larger vehicles without any risk of road accidents. The proposed system uses fractal geometry to design the antenna which is used for the vehicle to vehicle communication at 5G frequencies up to 20GHz

With the continuous development and rapid progress of information techniques, complexity and scale of information systems are expanding increasingly, which consequently brings our research focus on how to ensure the effective exchange of information and efficient interconnection between each part of a information system. However, different modeling paradigm, languages and platforms cause grammatical and semantic diversity to the existing information resources, a challenging approach to information resources management is needed to promote deep sharing of those information resources and implement rapid integration based on them. To realize semantic interoperation between diverse information systems and resources, the authors combine meta-modeling methodology in software engineering and ontology from philosophy to exploit a novel methodology named Theory of Ontology & Meta-modeling. Based on the methodology, the authors contributed to an international standard project ISO/IEC 19763- 3: Metamodel for ontology registration since 2003, which was officially published as an international standard in Dec, 2007. Furthermore, we developed a Management and Service platform for Semantic Interoperability on Manufacturing Informationalization Software Component Repository (SCR). It can support ontology-based software component attributes classification, registration and management using ISO/IEC 19763-3 standard, and implement semantic (ontology) based software component query and retrieval. Based on above mentioned techniques, this platform can facilitate the management of semantic interoperability, which provides the reliable infrastructure for the reusing and sharing of heterogeneous software component resources.
