Software Subsystem Dependencies: Anonymized Industrial Dataset

This dataset contains anonymized information about the software architecture and the dependencies of a software system for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific.

A TEM microscope is a software-intensive system composed of various complex instruments such as detectors, sample handling, vacuum, electromagnetic and electrostatic devices, which work together through coordinated software. Each type of device is managed by its own software subsystem, capturing the specific device functionalities. This creates a complex multi-level and multi-technology software ecosystem. The most basic of these levels is the component level. A component can contain one or more software projects contributing to an executable or a library. Related components are grouped in subsystems, which can be clustered in subsystem groups. The files in this dataset contain information about the actual dependencies between the components in the system and their containment in subsystems and subsystem groups.

The dataset can be used for dependency analysis, impact assessment, visualization, and optimization of the software architecture.
