We propose a language definition to specify exercises with embedded variability. Using this language it is possible to process exercise specifications on a computer with the benefits of allowing an efficient retrieval and automatically generating different test versions for each of the different available platforms. These exercises, defined according to the previous specifications, should be ideally...
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...
Apply Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) to weapon equipment can efficiently improve equipment's automation and digital level. ILS needs support of various integrated support systems, which have demands for data editing. Nowadays, most of data editing software used in these systems are customized and provide a form-based editing approach, which becomes an obstacle to carry out ILS. This paper brings...
Traditional pulsar signal processing software's object types, object parameters, task parameters, and settings of task types are fixed. Once the users want to add the object types, object parameters and task parameters, they must rechange the software interface code. This mode makes a high cost of developing the software, as well as the insufficient flexibility of using. This system, taking the independent...
Objective The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is a popular open format for storing and exchanging computational models in biology. The definition of SBML is captured in formal specification documents. SBMLPkgSpec is a LaTeX document style intended to fill the need for a standard format for writing such specification documents. Results Specification documents for SBML Level 3 extensions (known...
This paper proposes an extension of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Common Information Model (CIM) to accomplish the interoperability requirements for the power system state estimation (SE). The proposed method utilizes a multiarea SE (MASE) approach, suitable for the power system networks, which can be divided into several independently controlled subareas. The standard IEC CIM model...
Due to the growing size of compute clusters, large scale parallel applications increasingly have to deal with hardware malfunctions and other failure scenarios during execution. The overall goal of this research is to get good performance of MapReduce applications despite failures. The paper focuses on evaluation of the performance of two representative Hadoop MapReduce applications, 'WordCount' and...
This paper describes an innovative software interface design in support of signal-oriented test programming. The design makes use of modern Domain Specific Language (DSL) concepts and advanced C# language features to create an interface with excellent usability features and low implementation overhead. The interface is proposed as a more usable alternative to the Test Procedure Language (TPL) specified...
Human computer interface (HCI) in pervasive computing environment (PvCE) faces many kinds of devices and different user preferences. To create user interfaces for every device and user preference traditionally in each user interaction is unacceptable, especially when the user interface have to be generated dynamically. This paper proposes a so-called type model for simple user interaction in PvCE...
To avoid the lock-in problem in service-oriented software, existing interface-decoupling mechanisms focus on identifying high-level service mappings, which are not necessarily applicable on translating actual data. Based on the fundamental data-translation process, its successful outcome is guaranteed if mappings are low-level, i.e. they satisfy schema constraints. The problem is that if similar services...
This paper focuses on research device management mechanisms such as routers and switches, based on the NETCONF protocol, considered user authentication mechanisms using RADIUS-server and implementation of these mechanisms in currently being developed Eltex Network OS. Reflected the main features of NETCONF protocol — Network Configuration Protocol, produced theoretical and experimental comparison...
The Software Enterprise at ASU aims at equipping students with practical knowledge of modern software practices through a multi-year instructional sequence that employs an iterative feedback pedagogical model in order for graduates to be adequately prepared for the workforce upon graduation. By means of the Software Enterprise Website, the community of teaching practitioners in this area having similar...
This paper presents ongoing work on a decision aiding software intended to support cyber risks and cyber threats analysis of an information and communications technological infrastructure. The software will help corporations Chief Information Security Officers on cyber security risk analysis, decision-making, prevention measures and risk strategies for the infrastructure and information assets protection.
Data citation is of growing concern for owners of curated databases, who wish to give credit to the contributors and curators responsible for portions of the dataset and enable the data retrieved by a query to be later examined. While several databases specify how data should be cited, they leave it to users to manually construct the citations and do not generate them automatically. We report our...
Massive amount of source codes are available free and open. Reusing those open source codes in projects can reduce the project duration and cost. Even though several Code Search Engines (CSE) are available, finding the most relevant code can be challenging. In this paper we propose a framework that can be used to overcome the above said challenge. The proposed solution starts with a Software Architecture...
The Low Frequency Aperture Array (LFAA) component of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) involves the processing of 218 signal chains, which will be performed on custom FPGA boards, the Tile Processing Module (TPM). These TPMs, as well as firmware running on them, need to be managed, monitored and controlled by the rest of the system. This requires access to on-board devices and registers on running...
Software development process encompasses multiple types of and differentiated versions of artefacts during the corresponding lifecycle. These artefacts are vulnerable to artefact drift or erosion when the product being developed gets changed. As a result different artefacts are subject to differential rates of updates compared to each other. Managing the software artefacts is one of the major problems...
Continuous Delivery (CD) enables mobile developers to release small, high quality chunks of working software in a rapid manner. However, faster delivery and a higher software quality do neither guarantee user satisfaction nor positive business outcomes. Previous work demonstrates that app reviews may contain crucial information that can guide developer's software maintenance efforts to obtain higher...
Over the course of time an organization working with geospatial data accumulates tons of data both in the form of vector and raster formats. This data is a result of coordinated processes within the organization and external sources such as other collaborative organizations, projects and agencies, crowd sourcing efforts, etc. The massive amount of data accumulated as a result and the recent developments...
Over the previous years, many service-oriented (SO) solutions have been proposed by European research projects for the technological advancement of industrial systems. These projects typically include a software reference architecture (RA) based on the concepts of service-oriented architectures (SOA) and, often-times, an accompanying technology stack to guarantee system-wide interoperability. In this...
