Toward Practical Measures of Complexity in Real Time Modeling Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Systems development methods have become more complex, concurrently with many of today’s systems. UML has been criticized for its complexity. Using Rossi and Brinkkemper’s (1996) complexity metrics, Siau and Cao, (2001) completed a complexity analysis of UML and other modeling techniques, finding that UML is more complex than other techniques. Siau, Erickson and Lee (2002) proposed that Rossi and Brinkkemper’s metrics present the theoretical maximum complexity, as opposed to a practitioner-based complexity, that must be less than the theoretical maximum. Erickson and Siau (2004) proposed that a subset of UML (a kernel) composed of the most commonly used constructs, could be equated with the complexity that practitioners face when using UML. The current research extends Erickson and Siau’s (2004) work by analyzing UML complexity in the specific genre of real time systems. A Delphi study was conducted using expert practitioners, in an attempt to identify a use-based real-time UML kernel.

Proposed new signal for real-time stress monitoring: Combination of physiological measures
Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...
متن کاملReal Time Implementation of a License Plate Location Recognition System Based on Adaptive Morphology
License plate recognition (LPR) by using morphology has the advantage of resistance to brightness changes; high speed processing, and low complexity. However these approaches are sensitive to the distance of the plate from the camera and imaging angle. Various assumptions reported in other works might be unrealistic and cause major problems in practical experiences. In this paper we considered ...
متن کاملImproving Success Ratio in Multi-Constraint Quality of Service Routing
Multi-constraint quality-of-service routing will become increasingly important as the Internet evolves to support real-time services. It is well known however, that optimum multi-constraint QoS routing is computationally complex, and for this reason various heuristics have been proposed for routing in practical situations. Among these methods, those that use a single mixed metric are the mo...
متن کاملStudy on Relation between Visual Time Perception and Two Factors of Complexity in Architectural Images and Gender
Perceived time can have a significant impact on vital responses to daily activities and behaviors. Studies have shown that the surrounding environment can also affect human perception from time, place or event. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interrelationship between the environment and, more specifically, the architecture and the time perception of individuals. Also, the study...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Detection of Epilepsy in Short and Noisy EEG Signals Using Ordinal Pattern Analysis
Introduction: In this paper, a novel complexity measure is proposed to detect dynamical changes in nonlinear systems using ordinal pattern analysis of time series data taken from the system. Epilepsy is considered as a dynamical change in nonlinear and complex brain system. The ability of the proposed measure for characterizing the normal and epileptic EEG signals when the signal is short or is...
