The design feature of KOMPSAT-2 simulator based on object oriented design methodology in terms of unified modeling language (UML) has been discussed in this paper. Also, we present how to embed flight software into the simulator. Flight software embedding for KOMPSAT-2 simulator is compared to that of the KOMPSAT-1 simulator.

This paper focuses the reasons and advantages of the application of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in organizational architecture modeling. A presentation and description of the methodology to apply business modeling is made, namely, the organization of the modeling in views and the application of those views. A case study is presented, as an illustration.

We unify the decomposition methodologies of Juhn, Murphy, and Pierce (1993) and Fields (1999) for differences in inequalities across countries/groups/times using earnings equations. We demonstrate the unified methodology in a study of changes in earnings inequality in America during the late 1990s. JEL codes: D30, J30

UML has established itself as the leading OO analysis and design methodology. This paper presents a business rules engineering approach to define decision tables in consistency with Unified Modeling Language (UML) model. Supporting tools are under the development on top of a commercial CASE tool for UML.

Astroviruses are a diverse family of viruses that infect a wide range of mammalian and avian hosts. Here we describe the phylogenetic diversity and current classification methodology of astroviruses based on the ORF1b and ORF2 genes, highlighting the propensity of astroviruses to undergo interspecies transmission and genetic recombination which greatly increase diversity and complicate attempts...

Long and short range molecular interactions govern molecular recognition and self-assembly of biological macromolecules. Microscopic parameters in the theories of these molecular interactions are either phenomenological or need to be calculated within a microscopic theory. We report a unified methodology for the ab initio quantum mechanical (QM) calculation that yields all the microscopic param...

The production system and its maintenance system must be now developed on "system thinking" paradigm in order to guarantee that Key Performance Indicators (KPI) will be optimized all along the production system (operation) life. In a recursive way, maintenance system engineering has to integrate also KPI considerations with regards to its own enabling systems. Thus this paper develops a system-...

Complex information systems require a methodology for their development in a structured manner. Many different methodologies exist, each sui table for a particular type of application. In this report we develop a taxonomy covering 14 different classification features for methodologies targeted at the workflow area. Features identified include concerns, method structure, data gathering means, pe...
