With the increasing number of ontologies being designed to represent and manage knowledge in all sorts of sectors, ontology alignment and integration become more and more important in aggregating intelligent efforts on homogenous and heterogeneous data. From the computational perspective, it is challenging due to the ubiquitous existence of diverse classifications of same data. In this paper, we propose...
Context: Software engineering repositories contain a wealth of textual information such as source code comments, developers' discussions, commit messages and bug reports. These free form text descriptions can contain both direct and implicit references to security concerns. Goal: Derive an approach to extract security concerns from textual information that can yield several benefits, such as bug management...
The aim of this paper is to introduce a semantic methodology using ontology in order to improve results of data mining in judicial decisions database. An intelligent and automatic method to search for sentences in lawsuits related to the one in trial is presented. A judicial ontology is built with and without rules from experts. The method can provide judiciary celerity, seeking to solve the yearning...
One can only control what he can measure. Measuring ontologies in general and inter-organizational ontologies in special is necessary to evaluate ontologies during cooperative development and evolution processes. A software metric is a standard of measuring the degree to which a software system and process possess some property. Metrics help to estimate the progress, quality, and health of a software...
Industrie 4.0 components should offer flexible functionality for modern production systems. In order to achieve this flexibility, they provide functions that shall be described and implemented in an easy way. The term “functional element” is known from device profile specifications. Originally designed to be implemented in field devices, these specifications can also be used in Industrie 4.0 components...
Popularization of process approach as a standard necessitates changing the ways of defining and identifying requisite competencies. They should be seen in the framework of tasks implemented within the business process. The complex nature of competencies requires expressive forms of description regarding their multidimensional character therefore codification of competencies is the area predestinated...
Bridging the gap between informal, imprecise, and vague user requirements descriptions and precise formalized specifications is the main task of requirements engineering. Techniques such as interviews or story telling are used when requirements engineers try to identify a user's needs. The requirements specification process is typically done in a dialogue between users, domain experts, and requirements...
Requirements Engineering play a crucial role during the software development process. Many works have pointed out that Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) are currently more important than Functional Requirements. NFRs can be very complicated to understand due to its diversity and subjective nature. The NDR Framework has been proposed to fill some of the existing gaps to facilitate NFR elicitation...
Just-in-time (JIT) approaches have been suggested for managing non-functional requirements in agile projects. However, many non-functional requirements cannot be raised and met on the spot. In this position paper, we argue that effective JIT engineering of quality requirements depends on a solid foundation of long-term knowledge about all relevant quality requirements. We present two examples from...
The developed rules and method of forming the logical conclusion about sufficiency of information for software metric analysis provide: the conclusion about the SRS information sufficiency for metric analysis; the conclusion about necessary of the addition of indicators in the SRS; the prioritization of addition of all missing indicators in the SRS; the evaluation of the veracity of software metric...
Software developers need to address security risks and elicit security requirements in the early stages of the Software Development Life Cycle. It is important to investigate how novices can incorporate security in the early stages of the SDLC.
The approach to the intelligent modeling system development is proposed in the paper. Such system should be used for identification, classification and definition of the parameters of motion of marine facilities. Modeling system structure, conceptual model of modeling system and intellectual methods that are used for data processing are described. The ontology model is used for modeling system data...
The article presents ontologically-oriented tools and applications for creating an intellectual environment for engineering interaction in enterprise resource planning systems. It is noted that the usage of modular ontologies to provide data sustainability is a key factor in the “cross-linking” of local systems and different-type applications in the environment of enterprise resource planning systems.
The Navy's early-stage design tools are integrated with the Leading Edge Architecture for Prototyping Systems (LEAPS) data repository, thus enabling a streamlined, cohesive approach to the creation, storage and access of data pertinent to a ship design. The Smart Ship System Design (S3D) design environment currently under development within the Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium (ESRDC)...
The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand in terms of the number of connected devices. To handle the data produced by those devices, gateways are deployed to collect data, possibly to analyze it, and finally to send it to the cloud or to the end-user to support new services. This process involves complex software that is deployed on those gateways. Moreover, the dynamicity due to new services,...
Within the context of automated assembly systems, one of the challenges is ensuring that machine program logic is consistent with process planning requirements. A critical inconsistency can arise due to a lack of i) formal engineering tools and methods that link the Process and Resource domains, ii) a standard way to describe the assembly process that maintains a consistent level of granularity, and...
We apply the Model-Driven Engineering for adapting User Interfaces (UI) in order to improve their accessibility into interactive system(IS). The solution that we propose has to be generic to be applicable in any context and with any type of UI. Therefore, we have developed a model driven approach based on meta-model transformations. This approach generates modality-based UI models adapted to each...
Software testing is a sub area of software engineering which is also a knowledge intensive and collaborative activity. Our previous study results revealed that knowledge in the repositories were outdated, internal documents are unstructured and varied formats, less accessing facilities and lack of targeted delivery methods, such that software testers from software companies are highly affected by...
This paper presents a process of poem generation for users who need creative inspiration. Rather than enumerating existing poems, users are able to discover possible creative changes of existing poems, and then develop their own poems through our App. Creativity can re-shape the way that people look at things, which has already been studied in many disciplines. When collaborating with most widely...
The work of this p aper is done within the context of European Project E! 8949 PrEmISES 1. One of the central pieces of PrEmISES[16] is the use of automatic tool generation algorithms for the creation of ontologies. The objective of this work is to extend the work from PrEmISES for raising the medical literacy of empowered patients by creating a digital library that contains relevant articles from...
