Overview of the new phase of Barbara Mascialino July 26 th 2004 July 26 th, 2004 Barbara Mascialino INFN-Genova
Introduction • First Phase already completed • Last March 19 th started the Second Phase. Its aim is to bring the requirements resulting from the General Study into an operative phase, developing a software system to fulfil them. July 26 th, 2004 Barbara Mascialino INFN-Genova
The simulation tool will be useful for space applications: - astronauts radioprotection, - airlines pilots radioprotection, - human presence in the space. HUMEX a study on the survivability and adaptation of humans to long-duration exploratory missions July 26 th, 2004 Barbara Mascialino INFN-Genova
Manyfold applications The outcome of the project would be relevant also for: • biological experiments • radiotherapy • radiobiology • physics (micro and nano-dosimetric studies) • technology transfer from the space environment to the society July 26 th, 2004 Barbara Mascialino INFN-Genova
Study plan • 1: study of the project environment • 2: creation of a application prototype • 3: development of the prototype and related components into an articulated application aimed at modelising the radiation effects at cellular and DNA levels. July 26 th, 2004 INFN-Genova
Software process guidelines • United Software Development Process – practical guidance and tools from the RUP – mapping onto ISO 15504 • Incremental and iterative life cycle model SPIRAL APPROACH The software will be devolped through a series of iterations, each one visiting all the main software disciplines July 26 th, 2004 Barbara Mascialino INFN-Genova
