If one is to understand how a system meets its quality goals they must understand the elements and the relationships among the elements of the system. These relationships span multiple views of the system. View-based documentation of software architectures improves the ability of stakeholders to understand the system and in particular how the system meets its quality goals [Clements]. However, ...

Mapping is inherently a subjective and exclusionary practice as the cartographer decides which elements of the world are included and which can safely be ignored. Similarly, when an international relations theorist describes a new theory it is necessary to define the elements which are essential to understanding the complexities of an international political system, explain why other elements h...

This poster session describes the selection criteria and process used for evaluating three repository software offerings and cloud platforms, with pros and cons. It describes implementation of workflows, representations of PREMIS metadata for objects in the repository, documenting fixity checks performed on datastreams, mapping of “rights” elements in DC datastreams to PREMIS “rightsExtension” ...

Computer simulation of tagged magnetic resonance (MR) images is presented using signals derived from connected solid triangular or tetrahedral elements. Simulation provides precisely-known deformations for validating tag quantification algorithms. MR imaging signal is derived by Fourier-transforming over a standard element, then mapping to actual elements via transformations. Linear intensity v...

A Framework for Mapping User-designed Forms to Relational Databases Ritu Khare Yuan An, Ph. D. In the quest for database usability, several applications enable users to design custom forms using a graphical interface, and forward engineer the forms into new databases. The path-breaking aspect of such applications is that users are completely shielded from the technicalities of database creation...

Suppose that A is a C^*-algebra. We consider the class of A-linear mappins between two inner product A-modules such that for each two orthogonal vectors in the domain space their values are orthogonal in the target space. In this paper, we intend to determine A-linear mappings that preserve orthogonality. For this purpose, suppose that E and F are two inner product A-modules and A+ is the set o...

Introduction: Fundamental notions of mapping hypothesis and canonicity were scrutinized in Persian-speaking aphasics.  Methods: To this end, the performance of four age-, education-, and gender matched Persian-speaking Broca's patients and eight matched healthy controls in diverse complex structures were compared via the conduction of two tasks of syntactic comprehension and grammaticality jud...

This paper presents an algorithm to e ciently carry out data aggregation operations on large disk-based datasets on a parallel machine. This algorithm employs a hypergraph formulation for partitioning the workload among processors. Data aggregation is a common operation executed by applications that explore and analyze very large multi-dimensional scienti c datasets. A data element in these dat...
