MoDisco (for Model Discovery) is an Eclipse GMT component for model-driven reverse engineering. The objective is to allow practical extractions of models from legacy systems. Because of the widely different nature and technological heterogeneity of legacy systems, there are several different ways to extract models from such systems. MoDisco proposes a generic and extensible metamodel-driven app...

Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce) has become a popular topic for business and academic research since the early 1990's. Different researchers focus on different areas: applications, services, marketing, strategy, the Internet, extranets and technologies in ECommerce, to name but a few. Yet despite this focus on E-Commerce, there is still confusion about just what it is. The aim of this paper is ...

Software deployment is an inevitable part of software lifecycle. For non-component-based software, there already exist generic tools and environments supporting fully automated deployment. However, for component-based software, there has not been any unified environment and/or suit of tools performing deployment activities yet. This paper proposes such an environment and presents a generic comp...

to evaluate and predict component-based software security, a two-dimensional model of software security is proposed by stochastic petri net in this paper. in this approach, the software security is modeled by graphical presentation ability of petri nets, and the quantitative prediction is provided by the evaluation capability of stochastic petri net and the computing power of markov chain. each...

this paper presents a mathematical model for the vibration analysis of a three-component piezoelectric force sensor. the cubic theory of weakly nonlinear electroelasticity is applied to the model for describing the electromechanical coupling effect in the piezoelectric sensing elements which operate in thickness-shear and thickness-stretch vibration modes. hamilton's principle is used to d...

to perform an accurate approach to the spine specially for fracture stabilization a 3d model of spine surgical region may improve this mechanism and it can help the surgeon to have a deeper glance to this scenario. the pre-op planning facility is another advantage of the patient spine specific model to take a chance of making guides to direct pedicle screws safely and increase the pathomechanic...

in the present study, quantitative relationships between molecular structure and anti-tubercular activity of some 5-methyl/trifluoromethoxy-1 h -indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazone derivatives were discovered. the detailed application of an efficient linear method and principal component regression (pcr) for the evaluation of quantitative structure activity relationships of the studied compound...
