چکیده

Task models bridge the gap between HCI and Software Engineering. They are useful both for interface design and for generating user interface code and user documentation. These benefits, however, are difficult to achieve because building task models from scratch is difficult. In this paper, we describe an approach for automatically constructing task models from object-oriented diagrams in a CASE tool. The approach exploits the common semantic ground between task models and system-behaviour models, namely use cases, use case diagrams and sequence diagrams. We identify the useful information contained in these diagrams and how it can be augmented to support task model construction. A prototype system is then described, together with a working example.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

Consistent object-based software construction for embedded applications

In this article a new method for a consistent object-based software construction will be suggested, that allows a straightforward modeling of embedded applications. To this aim new diagram types, the so-called state-based collaboration diagrams, collaboration diagrams in layer models and client-server object diagrams will be introduced. The client-server object diagram is completely UML-conform...

Model Construction Algorithms for Object-Oriented Probabilistic Relational Models

This paper presents three new algorithms for the automatic construction of models from Object Oriented Probabilistic Relational Models. The first two algorithms are based on the knowledge based model construction approach while the third is based on an Object Oriented Bayesian Network instance tree triangulation method. We discuss the strengths and limitations of each of the algorithms and comp...

Modeling and Evaluation of Stochastic Discrete-Event Systems with RayLang Formalism

In recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. In the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. In this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) us...
