Applying Database Dependency Theory to Software Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the use of database dependency theory for investigating software designs. Dependency theory captures some of the essential constraints implicit in a system, and focuses attention on its update properties. The fundamental choice between redundancy and normalization is directly related to the issue of reuse. We show how dependency theory can be applied to the design of text editors and spreadsheet systems, and discuss its implications for object-oriented programming.

A Value-Based Software Process Framework
This paper presents a value-based software process framework that has been derived from the 4+1 theory of value-based software engineering (VBSE). The value-based process framework integrates the four component theories – dependency, utility, decision, and control, to the central theory W, and orients itself as a 7-step process guide to practice value-based software engineering. We also illustr...
متن کاملNormalization of Domain Modeling in Enterprise Software Development
Normalization has become traditional in database design theory and practice. One disadvantage of the model-driven development is that usage of concepts normalization, and functional dependency in the enterprise software engineering is limited to only one stage of system development life cycle (SDLC) the database design stage. The provided research of these concepts motivate normalization of the...
متن کاملA generalization of Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) using one-by-one dependency between sequences
The Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) can be poor at capturing dependency between observations because of the statistical assumptions it makes. To overcome this limitation, the dependency between residues in a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) which is the representative of a PHMM can be combined with the PHMM. Based on the fact that sequences appearing in the final MSA are written based on th...

متن کاملA Graph-Based Algorithm for Automated Refactoring
Software reuse is advocated for increasing the productivity of software engineers and improving the quality of software. As software-reuse practices are institutionalized, there must be formal techniques and associated methodologies for software engineers to accurately assess and increase the potential and actual reuse of software artifacts. The goal must be to support domain-and-organization r...
