A Patterns Catalog for RTSJ Software Designs

In this survey paper, we bring together current progress to date in identifying Design Patterns[6] for use with the Real-time Specification for Java(RTSJ)[2] in a format consistent with contemporary Patterns descriptions. We begin by discussing some elementary patterns for structuring realtime applications. Specifically, we discuss the use of scoped memory for applications with periodic real-ti...

OrthoDB v8: update of the hierarchical catalog of orthologs and the underlying free software

Orthology, refining the concept of homology, is the cornerstone of evolutionary comparative studies. With the ever-increasing availability of genomic data, inference of orthology has become instrumental for generating hypotheses about gene functions crucial to many studies. This update of the OrthoDB hierarchical catalog of orthologs (http://www.orthodb.org) covers 3027 complete genomes, includ...

Studying free software with free software and free methods

Free, Libre and Open source software (FLOSS) is an intriguing subject for study. Academic studies of FLOSS have quickly expanded over the past 5 years approaching the topic from software engineering, economics, information systems, sociology, social psychology to name just a few. The pre-print repository at MIT now has over 192 papers and even that is only a small cross-section of the research ...

Translation of Software Requirements

Stakeholders typically speak and express software requirements in their native languages. On the other hand, software engineers typically express software requirements in English to programmers who program using English-like programming languages. Translation of software requirements between the native languages of the stakeholders and English introduces further ambiguities. This calls for a sy...
