Practical Modeling of an Architectural Landmark

The nature of those problems can vary widely. One model might be as simple as a rectangular form with photo-realistic textures applied to the polygons to give the illusion of complexity. Another model might approach completeness, with the geometry of all architectural features, even finer-grain details like doorknobs and plumbing fixtures, included. Ultimately, the fidelity of the finished mode...

Building Practical Spoken Dialog Systems

This tutorial will give a practical description of the free software Carnegie Mellon Olympus 2 Spoken Dialog Architecture. Building real working dialog systems that are robust enough for the general public to use is difficult. Most frequently, the functionality of the conversations is severely limited down to simple question-answer pairs. While offthe-shelf toolkits help the development of such...

International Distribution Systems -- Architectural and Practical Issues

Building distributed systems for international usage requires addressing many architectural and practical issues. Key to the efficient construction of such systems, modularity in systems and in run-time libraries allows greater reuse of components and thus permits incremental improvements to multilingual systems. Using safe software practices, such as banishing the use of literals and parameter...

Experiences Applying a Practical Architectural Method

Software architecture has come to be recognized as a discipline distinct from software design. Over the past ve years, we have been developing and testing a practical software architecture method at the MITRE Software Center. The method begins with an initial statement of system goals, the purchaser's vision for the system, and needs, an abstraction of the system's requirements. Multiple views ...
