Next Generation Data Interchange: Tool-to-Tool Application Program Interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Data interchange in the form of a standard exchange format(SEF) is only a first step towards tool interoperability. Inter-tool communication using files is slow and cumbersome; a better approach would be an application program interface, or API, that allowed tools to communicate with each other directly. This paper argues such an AP is a logical next step that builds on the current drive towards an SEF. It presents high-level descriptions of three approaches to tool-totool APIs and illustrates how requirements for the SEF also apply to the API.

متن کاملPREDICTING URBAN TRIP GENERATION USING A FUZZY EXPERT SYSTEM
One of the most important stages in the urban transportation planning procedure is predicting the rate of trips generated by each trac zone. Currently, multiple linear regression models are frequently used as a prediction tool. This method predicts the number of trips produced from, or attracted to each trac zone according to the values of independent variables for that zone. One of the main li...
