Perceptible Software for Maintenance and Enhancement

Perceptible Content Retrieval in DCT Domain and Semi-Fragile Watermarking Technique for Perceptible Content Authentication

Digital watermarking was commenced to copyright protection and ownership verification of multimedia data. However the evolution of the watermark focused on different security aspects of multimedia data such as integrity and authenticity. Fragile and semi-fragile watermarking schemes were introduced to accomplish these requirements. In this paper, we propose semi-fragile watermarking scheme to a...

Software Services and Software Maintenance

Software services are being promoted as the next big step forward in software engineering.. Inevitably, both service vendor and service client programs will require maintenance. We present a service architecture that has been motivated by a long term vision for software as something which is used, not owned. This architecture is used to show how evolution of software can be achieved. It uses th...

Techniques for Software Maintenance

Software maintenance constitutes a major phase of the software life cycle. Studies indicate that software maintenance is responsible for a significant percentage of a system’s overall cost and effort. The software engineering community has identified four major types of software maintenance, namely, corrective, perfective, adaptive, and preventive maintenance. Software maintenance can be seen f...

Breaking the Software Development Roadblock: Continuous Software Enhancement By Design Maintenance

The software development paradigm propounded by Semantic Designs, Inc. envisions a design-centric perspective rather than today’s all too prevalent code-centric viewpoint. The Design Maintenance vision mandates notions of design and designing that are both formal and practicable. Our notion of a formal design entails three interrelated parts: specification (the artifact’s functionality and perf...
