A global push to pursue careers in engineering has led to an increase in enrollment in engineering programs. However, rising student populations have led institutions to make compromises in order to effectively manage existing resources and rising costs, such as resorting to large classes despite evidence that they may be detrimental to student learning. Recognizing that large classes are both a necessity...
Traffic flow pattern appears to be random and makes it more challenging to model and analyse. This paper aims to present a traffic model based on NaSchr model, but with a revised rule for randomisation. User can trigger a manual braking on certain cars and its effect on traffic flow can be observed and analysed. The traffic cellular automata model with manual braking mode is applied to a single lane...
Applying Flexsim system simulation software to build the simulation model of logistics sorting system. Before the introduction of automatic sorting equipment and technology in the sorting system, through the establishment of the Flexsim simulation model to simulate, analyze and evaluate the design scheme.
In recent years, the magnetic field modulation motors (MFMM) are attracting more and more attentions due to their compact structure and contactless torque transmission function, etc. However, multi-design parameters and output ports make the optimization for the MFMM necessary and difficult. In this paper, an automatic multi-objective optimization of the MFMM based on the advanced differential evolution...
There are so many applications using Crowdsource techniques in retrieving data, especially data on the traffic density of vehicles on certain roads, sample applications that already implementing the concept Crowdsourced data such as Waze, Google Maps, Bing Maps, etc. However, from that Crowdsouced data it will arise the question, whether the given data valid? Or how accurate the data provided by the...
This paper describes a new approach to the presentation of records relating to formal negotiations and the texts that they create. It describes the architecture of a model, platform, and web-interface (https://www.quillproject.net) that can be used by domain-experts to convert the records typical of formal negotiations in to a model of decision-making (with minimal training). This model has implications...
Current research on cloud service certification is working on techniques to continuously, i.e. automatically and repeatedly, assess whether cloud services satisfy certification criteria. However, traditional certifications are conducted following static processes which are not designed to meet the requirements of continuous certification techniques. In this paper, we address this gap by redesigning...
Static analysis tools are widely used in practice to improve the quality and reliability of software through early detection of defects. However, the number of alarms generated is a major concern because of the cost incurred in their manual inspection required to partition them into true errors and false positives. In this paper, we propose a static analysis to identify the causes of alarms generated...
The demands placed on hydrologic analyses have increased considerably in recent years. Hydrologic analyses involve numerous methods and are useful in many fields, such as agriculture, forestry and grassland farming. In order to catch information and knowledge from Digital Elevation Models (DEM), processing data step by step in software is available, which needs many manual workloads and is not convenient...
Model driven development has become a key practice in software engineering field due to its nature of complexity reduction and comprehensive structure-based development approach. In addition to it, automated tools for UML modeling are becoming popular within engineers and the tools which provide an additional feature of forward and reverse engineering are the basic prerequisite for many organizations...
The bone lengthening device is an effective means for the treatment of bone tissue correction. Due to the current manual transfer mode often affect the treatment effect and rehabilitation cycle, the course innovative research and development the intelligent bone lengthening device that based on genetic algorithm. The intelligent bone lengthening device can realize the all-weather automatic intelligent...
Counting of semen straw is challenging task due to a smaller size of straws, non-uniform bunch, and presence of liquid nitrogen. Straws are placed in the compact bunch with liquid nitrogen surrounding for preservation. Straw diameter is tiny (0.2 mm). Therefore, manual counting is tedious and produces inaccurate counting results. In such condition, automatic counting can be achieved by using image...
Automated test regeneration intends to ensure high coverage of the system model from an existing test suite. While regenerating test suite, most of the existing techniques ignore coverage achieved so far by existing test suite. An automatic test regeneration technique to achieve high coverage of state model is proposed in this paper which uses coverage result as well as information from UML diagrams...
Developing an automatic framework for updating/ upgrading a system or a software is a challenging task due to the need of the updated or upgraded system to be easy for all users, satisfying all users' requirements, and decreasing the response time of the system. The main objective of this paper is to propose a framework for automating the requirement analysis steps such as identifying and classifying...
In the requirements definition phase, conceptual models are used to understand the developing software. Although scenarios are often described on the basis of conceptual models, there are cases that necessary requirements are omitted in the scenarios when the scenarios are created manually. Herein we propose an approach to support scenario creation from conceptual models where event lists of scenarios,...
Independent testing in the enterprise is largely a manual activity with manual test design and manual creation of test scripts. Enterprises often outsource independent testing to third party service providers. During knowledge transition, the service provider test team has to understand the IT system functionality and the test scripts which can be non-trivial as currency of documents could be a challenge...
Aspect-based opinion mining is to find elaborate opinions towards an underlying theme, perspective or viewpoint as to a subject such as a product or an event. Nowadays, with rapid growing of opinionated text on theWeb, mining aspect-level opinions has become a promising means for online public opinion analysis. In particular, the booming of various types of online media provide diverse yet complementary...
Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the most popular modeling language for analysis, design and development of the software system. There has been a lot of research interest in generating these UML models, especially class diagrams, automatically from Natural Language requirements. The interest in class diagrams can be attributed to the fact that classes represent the abstractions present in the system...
Model-based testing is of high practical relevance and many model-based testing approaches have been developed during the last years. But the key question under which conditions model-based testing pays off and a related decision support procedure for its application has not been sufficiently addressed. In this paper we develop a generic decision support procedure whether to apply model-based testing...
In a service oriented world, performance plays a vital role in the success of any IT system. For an application running in a production environment, whenever there is a change in the workload or workload pattern, utilization of major server resources like cpus, disks, memory, network etc. will also change. In this paper, we are extending our methodology to estimate the server resource utilization...
