V and V activities.
An additional benefit as a result of our activities in this
project was the specification of a universal test database
where test cases, test objects and the results of the performed
tests are filed and processed for further evaluation.

CIPIS
// DEV // PM //
Project and Technical Management of the development of CIPIS
(Computer Integrated Project Information System) with special
emphasis on the requirements of ESA/ESTEC for planning, accounting
and reporting. A system for managing project data of many
large projects (planning, effort, costs, results) running
at different organisations and sites was implemented including
data exchange interfaces for remote sites.
Project Partners were ORS/Austria and IberEspacio/Spain.
ZSK400
// DEV //
Development of a Windows-based interface with the hardware
and database of the time-keeping system ISGUS. ZSK400 was
integrated in CIPIS.
The aim of ZSK400 is to provide the user with information
about his daily working hours, which are then assigned to
projects and automatically compiled at the end of each month.

BICO
// STUDY // QM //
Development and application of BICO (Benchmarking and ISO 9001:2000
Combined).
BICO is a life-cycle model which combines the ISO 9001:2000
requirements
with quantitative assessment methods as a sound tool that supports
the customer on the way to effective and efficient quality management.
BICO activities include the participation in a European training
programme that is supported by the Commission of the European Communities
under the LEONARDO DA VINCI Programme.
Project
Status Audit / BICO // STUDY // PM // QM //
On the basis of the BICO tools
developed a procedure for the very efficient and effective determination
of the status of a project. The data collected during an audit allows
a comparison of actual progress to planned progress. The resulting
audit report identifies the project risks and determines the progress
of the project in a quantitative way. The procedure has already
been successfully applied in the air traffic systems environment
(e.g. Frequentis, Siemens, DFS).
Project
Management Model // STUDY // PM // QM //
Based on its experience in successful project management,
developed a goal-driven project management model that minimises
risks and increases productivity. Accurate project tracking based
on the Earned Value Method allows the timely identification of potential
problem areas and the initiation of corrective actions.
was assigned the task of implementing this model in a software development
company. It was part of the contract to adapt the model to company-specific
needs, training and the management of several projects during implementation.
ISVV (Independent
Software Verification and Validation) // STUDY // V&V //
A study on the verification, validation and evaluation of software
projects by external, independent companies was conducted. This
study was funded partly by the Austrian Authorities (FFF) and supervised
by ESA/ESTEC.
IX (Independent
X-Model) // STUDY // V&V //
On the basis of a study under the supervision of ESA/ESTEC,
developed a process model for IV&V (Independent verification
and validation in accordance with the
IX-model) that can be tailored to the needs of the customer.
APoMet
// STUDY // V&V // QM //
Development of an effective metric set for small and medium -sized
companies.
SWE
// STUDY // DEV // QM //
Verification of the hypothesis “Software Engineering Pays“.
The study consists of an experimental study and of research based
on existing data and literature. In the experimental study, six
teams developed a programme starting out with the same specification
but with different requirements for the development process. The
results show the influence of appropriate software engineering methods
on the quality, the schedule, the development effort and the maintenance
effort of a software product.
PICO (Process
Improvement Combined Approach) // STUDY
// DEV // PM // QM //
The mission of PICO was to develop a set of tutorials dealing with
the different improvement approaches which can be combined to become
an overall model to transfer state-of-the-art improvement knowledge.
The project was funded partly by the Commission of the European
Communities under the LEONARDO DA VINCI Programme.

Project Management (Process Improvement Combined
Approach) // STUDY // DEV // PM //QM //
Multi-platform data collection SW tool for safety and quality auditing
in a distributed environment with a central database to store data
of different organisations with the option that data can be compared
without disclosing their origin. Remote access via internet or dial-up
as well as a graphical visualisation of the results were also implemented.
Several interfaces to import data from other tools were implemented.

of the tool were ISCN/Ireland, aimware/Ireland, ami/France. The
SW was developed and distributed among the partners and integrated/tested
at APAC.
ASMM
- APAC Safety Management Model // STUDY // SAF // CON //
At the end of 2004, launched an internal project with the aims
- to develop
a methodology for safety audits in cooperation with Corvinus University
Budapest (ASMM project); and
- to develop
material for common requirement audits and to obtain the authorisation
to call itself a "recognised organisation"
as defined in the Common Requirements for the Provision of Air Navigation
Services. This methodology for safety audits will include the development
of a safety maturity model.
