It is More Blessed to Give than to Receive - Open Software Tools Enable Open Innovation

Open Innovation (OI) has attracted scholarly interest from a wide range of disciplines since introduced by Chesbrough [1], i.e. ”a paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology”. However, OI remains unexplored for software engineering (SE), although widespread in p...

Tools to Enable Interoperation of Heterogeneous Databases

3. Technology We demonstrate a prototype toolkit called ITSE (Integrated Translation Support Environment), for interoperation and migration of heterogeneous database systems. Semantic Metamodel Major datamodels (network, relational, object-oriented) are represented in the metamodel as sets of logic predicates alon,g with mapping rules to establish equivalences between expressions in different m...

Using Simulation Tools for Embedded Software Development

ion vs. Detail A key insight in building simulations is that you must always make a trade-off between simulator detail and the scope of the simulated system. Looking at some extreme cases, you cannot use the same level of abstraction when simulating the evolution of the universe on a grand scale as when simulating protein folding. You can always trade execution time for increased detail or scop...

Photonic Simulation Software Tools for Education

A solid education in optical devices and optical communication systems must include an understanding of the basic building blocks of optical devices and networks as well as the interplay between them. Software vendors, such as Optiwave Systems Inc., provide free as well as for-purchase software tools that can be used in classroom and computer labs as an educational aid. This paper examines the ...
