Model Driven Engineering (MDE) gives new insights into software engineering and software development. This approach is quite new and it still is the subject of discussion concerning its efficiency and usefulness. However, MDE approach becomes more and more popular among researchers and developers. That is why it is being introduced into curricula by many universities. MDE proposes a new way of software...
This paper proposes the taboo words similarity browsing system which is able to assist the naming process. The proposed system in this paper analyzes new texts - new words or sentences - into phonemes, compares their similarities of pronunciations between new words and taboo words from various language cultural areas. The system supports the effective visualization interfaces in order to visualize...
Several major accidents in the oil and gas industry traced their source to deficient training resulting in serious injuries and even casualties along with extremely expensive damage to equipment and decrease in productivity. This paper presents a procedure evaluation/e-training tool called PeT to track the knowledge and confidence of trainees in emergency operating procedures. PeT was tested with...

The Barabási-Albert-model is commonly used to generate scale-free graphs, like social networks. To generate dynamics in these networks, methods for altering such graphs are needed. Growing and shrinking is done simply by doing further generation iterations or undo them. In our paper we present four methods to merge two graphs based on the Barabási-Albert-model, and five strategies to reverse them...
The purpose of this paper is to develop a nonlinear programming method for solving a type of cooperative games in which there are multiple objectives and coalitions' values on objectives are expressed with intervals, which are called intervalvalued multiobjective cooperative games for short. In this method, we define the concepts of interval-valued cores of interval-valued multiobjective cooperative...
