Modelltransformationen spielen innerhalb einer Modell-basierten Softwareentwicklung eine entscheidende Rolle. Ein relativ neuer Standard solche Modelltransformationen zu beschreiben ist Query View Transformation (QVT) der Object Management Group (OMG). Neben einer imperativen Sprache zur Beschreibung von Modelltransformationen bietet QVT auch einen deklarativen Teil die QVT Relationssprache. Ei...

The foundation of every system is the architecture. It has to be designed according to the corresponding system requirements by the system architect who is also responsible for ensuring that it fits to the system requirements even if these change due to new conditions during development process. Our approach defines a model driven process for the architect to validate system architecture agains...

The article examines the creative path of famous architect Moshe Safdi. features his first project - residential complex “Habitat 67”, consisting cubic modules that successfully form composition building, are given. It is proved Safdi, using simple forms, creates relevant and interesting design solutions. Using randomly stacked modules, it possible to create mass housing for ordinary people, fi...

Abstract: Some people automatically and involuntarily ”see” mental images of numbers in spatial arrays when they think of numbers. This phenomenon, called number forms, shares three key characteristics with the other types of synaesthesiae, within-individual consistency, between-individual variety, and mixture of regularity and randomness. An experiment was conducted to investigate whether ment...

Over the years a number of powerful people detectors have been proposed. While it is standard to test complete detectors on publicly available datasets, it is often unclear how the di erent components (e.g. features and classi ers) of the respective detectors compare. Therefore, this paper contributes a systematic comparison of the most prominent and successful people detectors. Based on this e...

In this paper we give a new approach to the concepts of glyph and character, applied to the study of the Unicode encoding. After a thorough discussion of these two concepts, we describe the other fundamental ingredients of the encoding: privileged glyphs, character descriptions, combining characters, and properties. In each case we try to show the importance of the given notion and at the same ...

People can create impressive new objects: an architect designs new houses, a cook designs new recipes, and an entrepreneur designs new companies. On the other hand, computers are better known for consistency than creativity, and thus the computational basis of creativity remains mysterious. Recent work suggests that probabilistic generative models can capture how people generate simple types of...

Being a software architect is hard. Besides the obvious difficulties with technical issues, architects often face difficult team situations, or struggle with their managers for influence, and their architecture work may become ignored. Let's face it: Having to deal with a software architect is hard, too. Sometimes their architecture work is insufficient, or there are good reasons to ignore it. ...
