Both object-oriented modeling techniques using UML and software testing play important roles in current commercial software development. The integration of test case generation and UML is highly expected. In this project, we survey the current advances of this field and introduce three representative approaches of test case generation based on UML. The respective pros and cons are discussed in ...

This paper presents an overview of the INRECA methodology for building and maintaining CBR applications. This methodology supports the collection and reuse of experience on the systematic development of CBR applications. It is based on the experience factory and the software process modeling approach from software engineering. CBR development experience is documented using software process mode...

The surface finish is critical for applications such as micro-fluid mixing and self-assembly that requires smooth fluidic flow and mechanical rotation respectively. However, in layer-based additive manufacturing processes, it is well known that the stair-stepping effect exists in the fabricated surfaces since a three-dimensional model is approximated by a set of two-dimensional layers. The fabr...

This paper presents on a Case-based Reasoning approach for automated workflow adaptation by reuse of experience. Agile workflow technology allows structural adaptations of workflow instances at build time or at run time. The approach supports the expert in performing such adaptations by an automated method. The method employs workflow adaptation cases that record adaptation episodes from the pa...

We present a process model that applies case–based reasoning techniques to information system design. Describing the process model we focus on similarity and case adaption aspects. We are currently implementing the process model in a research prototype called CBModeler. The CBModeler project shows how the development of information systems can be supported by reusing design specifications from ...

In near-wall turbulence modeling it is required to resolve a thin layer nearby the solid boundary, which is characterized by high gradients of the solution. An accurate enough resolution of such a layer can take most computational time. The situation even becomes worse for unsteady problems. To avoid time-consuming computations, a new approach is developed, which is based on a non-overlapping d...

Building knowledge intensive Case-Based Reasoning applications requires tools that support this on-going process between domain experts and knowledge engineers. In this paper we will introduce how the open source tool myCBR 3 allows for flexible knowledge elicitation and formalisation form CBR and non CBR experts. We detail on myCBR 3 ’s versatile approach to similarity modelling and will give ...

The research reported in this paper uses as a test case an on-going project: the design and development of the cadastral system in Greece. The main focus is on the database design, specifically at the stages of conceptual and logical modeling. Issues such as modeling the intricate nature of space, as well as the need to exchange not only data formats but, also semantics captured by computer sys...

Computer games are an increasingly popular application for Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, and conversely AI is an increasingly popular selling point for commercial games. Although games are typically associated with entertainment, there are many “serious” applications of gaming, including military, corporate, and advertising applications. There are also so-called “humane” gaming applica...
