This position paper presents a vision of Pervasive Computing as a complex and user-centric research and development object. Emphasis is put on an “augmented emulation” as a core toolkit for development and assessment of future work and we will place our proposal in the frame of some tools and work that we have undergone. We believe that developing a use-case/scenario methodology on top of this ...

Motivation: In genome assembly, as coverage of sequencing and genome size growing, most current softwares require a large memory for handling a great deal of sequence data. However, most researchers usually cannot meet the requirements of computing resources which prevent most current softwares from practical applications. Results: In this article, we present an update algorithm called EPGA2, w...

The design of furnaces and boilers for solid fuels is supported increasingly by powerful softwares and ever faster computers. A round-robin over the most important CFD (computational fluid mechanics) models and softwares currently available shows, however, that numerical procedures for particle/turbulence interactions are not (yet) very advanced. Particle/fluid interphase slip is considered, bu...

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is becoming the core of scientific activities addressing nature complexity. To tackle complexity, we need to integrate heterogeneous formalisms in the same model. Models then become multimodels. Furthermore, M&S softwares have to assist take into account the M&S activity cycle, i.e. modellers to design and to implement models, to define experimental frames and to a...

We claim that the evaluation of terminology extraction systems cannot rely entirely on the comparison of their results with a reference list, as the very existence of such a list made up independently of any application is highly questionable and as these systems do not yield only actual terms but potential (or candidate) terms. We propose instead to align their results on various corpora, so a...

 Abstract—Currently, there are few user friendly Weigh-inMotion (WIM) data analysis softwares available which can produce traffic input data for the recently developed AASHTOWare pavement Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) design software. However, these softwares have only rudimentary Quality Control (QC) processes. Therefore, they cannot properly deal with erroneous WIM data. As the pavement perform...
