There is increasing demand for effective software process assessment and improvement in the medical device industry. This is due to the expanding and complex role that software now plays in the operation and functionality of medical devices. This paper outlines the development and current status of Medi SPICE a software process assessment and improvement model which is being developed to meet t...

Process is usually assessed by comparing with the assessment documents, though the information for the assessments are scattered; it is a time-consuming job to gather them. In this paper, we investigated the method to obtain information for process assessment by means of SPICE (Software Process Improvement Capability dEtermination). First, we extracted the information related to processes, prod...

Before an environment can be populated with characters, a set of models must first be acquired and prepared. Sometimes it may be possible for artists to create each virtual character individually for example, if only a small number of individuals are needed, or there are many artists available to create a larger population of characters. However, for most applications that need large and hetero...

Recent applications of SPICE–PAC to transistor parameter extraction and hierarchical simulation require rather flexible circuit analyses, performed for irregularly distributed values of independent variables. An implementation of table–driven analyses (DC, AC and time–domain) is described in which tables of arbitrarily distributed independent variables (voltages, frequencies or timepoints) are ...
