“…Nonetheless, this approach refers to skills and knowledge of experts who manually assess the compliance of design principles. In conclusion, the authors point out that the community lacks a reference model for design quality [5].…”

“…A more recent approach has been published by Samarthyam et al, who pick up the idea of measuring design principles as one part of a design assessment [5]. Nonetheless, this approach refers to skills and knowledge of experts who manually assess the compliance of design principles.…”

“…Besides, they are used to organize and to arrange structural components of the (object-oriented) software design, to build up common consents about design knowledge and to support beginners in avoiding traps and pitfalls. Since these design principles are more concrete than the coarse-grained design principles mentioned above and to distinguish them from the others, they are considered as fine-grained design principles [5]. Although fine-grained design principles are breaking down design aspects, they are probably still too abstract to be applied in practice.…”

“…According to Coad and Yourdon, a design principle is one of the four essential traits of good object-oriented design, i.e., low coupling, high cohesion, moderate complexity, and proper encapsulation [7]. As we distinguish different levels of design principles we call this type of principles coarse-grained design principles [5].…”

“…A recently published work picks up the idea of checking the compliance of design principles [5]. The approach, which is known as MIDAS, is an expert based design as-sessment method following a three view model: the design principles view, a project-specific constraints view, and an "ility"-based quality model view.…”

Good object-oriented design is crucial for a successful software product. Metric-based approaches and the identification of design smells are established concepts for identifying design flaws and deriving design improvements thereof. Nevertheless, metrics are difficult to use for improvements as they provide only weak guidance and are difficult to interpret. Thus, this paper proposes a novel design quality model (DQM) based on fundamental object-oriented design principles and best practices. In course of discussing DQM, the paper provides a contribution in three directions: (1) it shows how to measure design principles automatically, (2) then the measuring result is used to assess the degree of fulfilling object-oriented design principles, (3) and finally design improvements of identified design flaws in object-oriented software are derived. Additionally, the paper provides an overview of the research area by explaining terms used to describe designrelated aspects and by depicting the result of a survey on the importance of object-oriented design principles. The underlying concepts of the DQM are explained before it is applied on two open-source projects in the format of a case study. The qualitative discussion of its application shows the advantages of the automated design assessment that can be used for guiding design improvements.

The future will encompass heavily interconnected, distributed, heterogeneous and intelligent systems which are bound to have a significant economic and social impact. Cyber physical systems (CPS) such as autonomous cars, smart electric grid, implanted medical devices and smart manufacturing are some practical examples of these intelligent systems. However, due to the open and cooperative nature of CPS, assuring their dependability is a challenge. The DEIS project addresses this important and unsolved challenge by developing the concept of a digital dependability identity (DDI). A DDI contains all the information that uniquely describes the dependability characteristics of a CPS or CPS component. DDIs are synthesised at development time and are the basis for the (semi)automated integration of components into systems during development, as well as for the fully automated dynamic integration of systems into systems of systems in the field.

Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) are systems of collaborating computational entities. Concepts such as autonomous cars, smart electric grid, implanted medical devices and smart manufacturing are some practical examples of CPS. However, the open and cooperative nature of CPS poses a significant new challenge in assuring dependability. The DEIS project addresses this important and unsolved challenge by developing technologies that facilitate the efficient synthesis of components and systems based on their dependability information. The key innovation that is the aim of DEIS is the corresponding concept of a Digital Dependability Identity (DDI). A DDI contains all the information that uniquely describes the dependability characteristics of a CPS or CPS component. DDIs are synthesised at development time and are the basis for the (semi-)automated integration of components into systems during development, as well as for the fully automated dynamic integration of systems into systems of systems in the field. In this paper we present an overview of the DDI. Additionally, we provide metrics for evaluating the DDI's impact on CPS dependability, and the results of an evaluation of the DDI's impact on dependability in four CPS industrial systems. These results demonstrate the positive impact of the DDI on the dependability of CPS.
