An ISO/IEC 25010-Based Evaluation Methodology for Designing Digital Mock-Up Toward Nuclear Decommissioning

This paper describes an ISO/IEC 25010-based evaluation methodology for designing Digital Mock-Up (DMU) toward nuclear decommissioning. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO) is planning to develop a DMU to facilitate safe and reliable decommissioning operations using remote-control robots since the conditions inside the reactor buildings remain many unknown unknowns. To effectively implement the DMU, it is essential to carefully select available software technologies, install them, and adopt a software system integration framework to organize the DMU. Therefore, appropriate evaluations must be conducted. In this paper, we proposed a quantitative method for evaluating the functionality and systemization of the DMU based on a software quality requirements and evaluation model ISO/IEC 25010. Also, we reported a case study in which the proposed evaluation methodology was applied to a fundamental DMU developed based on a typical use case.
