In recent years a series of important achievements have paved the way for the introduction of probabilistic analysis in the area of soft real–time systems design. In this paper, we present an extensible design tool – called PROSIT – that facilitates the access to this technology for a potentially large number of researchers and industrial practitioners. The tool enables probabilistic analysis o...

Agile software development methods are nowadays becoming more common, but this does not mean that usability aspects are automatically catered for. Especially including user centred evaluations in Scrum projects are challenging for usability professionals. This paper presents results based on an interview study with 21 industrial usability professionals in five professional roles in Scrum projec...

Abstract There is an increased complexity in applied research projects that demand more researcher skills, especially managing the project and interdisciplinary work. Researchers receive little training how to manage such projects, yet most deliver results. a tradition of management systems engineering which benefits complex development industrial settings. Despite apparent benefits, we found l...

In the paper an approach to developing a use-cases benchmark is presented. The benchmark itself is a referential use-case-based requirements specification, which has a typical profile observed in real projects. To obtain this profile an extensive analysis of 432 use cases coming from 11 projects was performed. Because the developed specification represents those found in real projects, it might...

there was a turning point in each period of time which human has discovered a new sight about the world and nature order in a way, and then has presented this relation by numeral, artful and industrial language. biourbanism focuses on the urban organism, considering it as a hyper complex system, according to its internal and external dynamics and their mutual interactions. nowadays when it is t...

Advances in semiconductor process and design technology enable the design of complex system chips. Traditional IC design, in which every circuit is designed from scratch and reuse is limited to standard-cell libraries, is more and more replaced by a design style based on embedding large reusable modules, the so-called cores. This core-based design poses a series of new challenges, especially in...

Microorganisms have a significant influence on human activities and health, and consequently, there is high demand to develop automated, sensitive, and rapid methods for their detection. These methods might be applicable for clinical, industrial, and environmental applications. Although different techniques have been suggested and employed for the detection of microorganisms, and the majority o...
