The state-of-the-art in the area of modelling of organisations is based on fixed metamodels. Due to rapid changing business requirements the complexity in developing applications which deliver business solutions is continually growing. To manage this complexity, environments providing flexible metamodelling capabilities instead of fixed metamodels has shown to be helpful. The main characteristi...

Heterogeneous platforms which employ a mix of CPUs and accelerators such as GPUs have been widely used in the high-performance computing area [1]. Such heterogeneous platforms have the potential to offer higher performance at lower energy cost than homogeneous platforms. However, it is rather challenging to actually achieve the high performance and energy efficiency promised by heterogeneous pl...

marine industry requires continued development of new technologies in order to produce oil. an essential requirement in design is to be able to compare experimental data from prototype structures with predicted information from a corresponding analytical finite element model. in this study, structural model updating may be defined as the fit of an existing analytical model in the light of measu...

Presently, most platforms used on the selection of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) available online have various automated methods of assessment. These type of tools are based on applications that analyze the answers using a pre-correction algorithm. Most of these programs run several types of automatic assessment, but the possible use of the technology for each of them differs with respect ...
