Dagstuhl Seminar Software and Systems Traceability for Safety-Critical Projects Patrick Rempel* * Technische Universität Ilmenau

Professional Experience & Interests P. Rempel et al. 2  Professional Experience  Oxford Computer Group Focus: Identity and Access Management  PhD TU Ilmenau Focus: Requirements Traceability  Research Interests  Usage of traceability in software projects  Definition & systematic assessment of traceability problems  Traceability compliance assessment  Benefits of traceability usage

Achievements / Challenges P. Rempel et al. 3  Practices done right  Traceability recommendations in safety guidelines improved  Avionic domain mandates explicit traceability artifacts  Bi-directional traceability  Challenges  Do the various existing safety guideline sufficiently prepare practitioners for certification sufficiently? Are there better tools or means to provide support?  Why do the various existing safety guidelines differ? Could they be better harmonized?
