Persistent programming systems are generally recognised as the appropriate technology for the construction and maintenance of large, long-lived object based application systems such as software environments. Here some of the advantages of providing all the support required for the software process within a persistent object store with referential integrity are examined. It is shown that powerfu...

The development process used by academic researchers often seems unsystematic. A Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is seldom considered, commenting is scarce, and external documentation consists of erasure marks left on whiteboards. Configuration management is paid lip-service, but is not standard practice. This paper examines reasons behind the apparent large-scale non-adoption of softwar...

Engineering lab is instrumental in the technical fields of study. Continuity of learning theories in the classroom will be applied in the laboratory for understanding and exposure to engineering skills. This paper is a study that outlines the main aspects of quality management in the engineering laboratory (lab) to provide learning and teaching facilities in the labs. The roles and accountabili...

Structured Clinical Documentation is a fundamental component of the healthcare enterprise, linking both clinical (e.g., electronic health record, clinical decision support) and administrative functions (e.g., evaluation and management coding, billing). Documentation templates have proven to be an effective mechanism for implementing structured clinical documentation. The ability to create and m...

Similar documents arise in software and business situations. Examples are user guides for different versions of a software product, contracts between vendors and clients, and legal documents. The usual practice is to capture similarities in templates that must be copied and manually customized to a new context – often a slow, tedious, and error-prone process. Document Management Environment (DM...

A sustainable urban environment requires an integration of documentation and management systems in surveying and planning applications for different kinds of services involving services and processes. Traditional GIS approaches are geo-referenced to 2D information or, more recently, to a virtualized environment arising from the reprojection of textured views on 3D models. In this work, a tool f...

In this paper we report on a new system to augment a 3D block model of a real city with geo-referenced terrestrial images of the facades. The terrestrial images are taken by a hand-held digital consumer camera using short baselines. The relative orientation of the photographs is calculated automatically and fitted towards the 3D block model with minimized human input using vanishing points. The...
