Conceptual modeling is supporting understanding and communication of the requirements in developing the information system (IS). The nature of requirements is usually divided into the functional (FRs) and non-functional requirements (NFRs). Thus, the scholars who are representing the conceptual modeling separate FRs and NFRs. Attempting to create an integrated framework for conceptual modeling ...

In this paper the modeling of motion control system with Variable Structure System (VSS) theory using Matlab/Simulink and Caspoc is elaborated. The control is modeled in Simulink, while the power converter is modeled in Caspoc. This has advantages on both sides. Powerful toolboxes existing for Simulink can be used and the power electronics can be modeled in detail in the dedicated power electro...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretical model of mitigation by integrating cognitive and discourse approaches to appraisal and coping. Mitigation involves strategic, emotional, linguistic, and Theory of Mind processes on different levels of consciousness. We emphasize that discourse analysis can assist our understanding of these

Semantic mapping between ontologies is a core issue to solve for enabling interoperability across the Semantic Web. To handle the increasing number of individual ontologies it becomes necessary to develop automatic approaches. In this paper we present such an approach. In brief, we determine similarity through rules which have been manually formulated by ontology experts. The outcomes of these ...

care To read the study on dementia care by Wolfs et al was a delight. They deserve a round of applause for not only conducting a trial in a very complex but essential service but also for demonstrating that an integrated multidisciplinary approach has a positive impact on dementia care. As a consultant old age psychiatrist in the English National Health Service, would I repeat this study? In th...

A pure statistics-based machine translation system is usually incapable of processing long sentences and is usually domain dependent. A pure rule-based machine translation system involves many costs in formulating rules. In addition, it is easy to introduce inconsistencies in a rule-based system, when the number of rules increases. Integrating both of approaches will get rid of these disadvanta...

abstract this paper proposes an approach to find an optimum structure for educational levels of human forces. to this end, a linear programming (lp) model integrated with a social accounting matrix (sam) was employed. the integrated model was employed using the sam of golestan province of iran. it was demonstrated that when unemployment is the result of inconsistency between supply and demand f...
