Very often we face the need of extracting appropriate data views from an integrated representation of the information space, and of defining, a posteriori, personalized views for the information stakeholders. The peer to peer scenario of the ESTEEM project introduces another interesting motivation behind the desire to define customized data views of a semantic community information, tailored on...

Visualising connectivity and change propagation in complex products is difficult, but nevertheless is a key for successful design. Several stakeholders, such as designers, managers and customers have different viewpoints on the designed artefact and require different information. Multiple views provide a means to visualise complex information and are also a way to fulfil the demands of differen...

[Context & motivation] Feature diagrams have become commonplace in software product line engineering as a means to document variability early in the lifecycle. Over the years, their application span has also been extended to assist stakeholders in the configuration of software products. [Question/problem] However, existing feature-based configuration techniques offer little support for taylorin...

Variability in a Software Product Line (SPL) is expressed in terms of a feature model. As software development efforts involve increasingly larger feature models, scalable techniques are required to manage their complexity. Furthermore, as many stakeholders have a vested interest in different aspects of a feature model, modularity techniques are required to independently expresses their views o...

Composition of requirements models in Software Product Line (SPL) development enables stakeholders to derive the requirements of target software products and, very important, to reason about them. Given the growing complexity of SPL development and the various stakeholders involved, their requirements are often specified from heterogeneous, partial views. However, existing requirements composit...

The preliminary stages of a large scale culture-led urban regeneration project initiated by the Korean government in Gwangju were studied. Stakeholders’ perceptions of culture’s contribution to urban regeneration and their views on collaborative partnerships were explored. Qualitative data were gathered via semi-structured interviews from 19 purposively selected stakeholders. This case study de...

It is often argued that learning from best examples in the neighbouring Burkina Faso and elsewhere, Ghana can succeed in revamping the collapsing cotton industry by introducing Bt cotton to farmers. This paper therefore presents a survey findings on farmers’ views and perceptions towards the possible introduction of Bt cotton. A stratified random sampling techniques was applied in selecting 254...
