Function Point Analysis is often said to be too difficult method for software development estimation purposes. It is said to be unreliable and also too expensive, because only certified function point analysts can apply it correctly. The worst thing is, that all this is true, when using traditional function point counting practices and approaches. In this article the author will introduce the K...

Fermented soybean meal (FSM) is an important feed material that can replace fish to solve the shortage of animal protein. To improve utilization FSM, we optimized co-fermentation conditions using Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium studied effects replacing with different proportions FSM on serum antioxidant indices gut microbiota (GM) composition crucian carp (Carassius auratus). Our re...

For ultra-low-power sensor networks, finite state machines are used for simple tasks where the system’s microprocessor would be overqualified. This allows the microprocessor to remain in a sleep state, thus saving energy. This paper presents a new architecture that is specifically optimized for implementing reconfigurable Finite State Machines: Transition-based Reconfigurable FSM (TR-FSM). The ...

We use the concept of delta-oriented programming to organize FSM-based test models in an incremental structure. We then exploit incremental FSM-based testing to make efficient use of this high-level structure in generating test cases. We show how our approach can lead to more efficient test-case generation, both by analyzing the complexity of the test-case generation algorithm and by applying t...

Aiming at providing a better user experience, we propose a gestural remote control able to operate infrared-enabled devices with simple hand movements. In the proposed system, the user’s hands are identified by red and green gloves. The X and Y coordinates of each hand’s center of mass are calculated and input into a gesture recognition finite state machine (FSM). This FSM classifies the hand m...

Fluorescent speckle microscopy (FSM), a combination of conventional wide-field fluorescent light microscopy and digital imaging with a low-noise, charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, has been developed to allow visualization of assembly/disassembly dynamics, movement, and turnover of macromolecule assemblies in vivo and in vitro. FSM uses a low level of fluorescent subunits to avoid high backgro...

Defining and processing flexible queries is an important research topic in database area. We may distinguish two ways to support flexible querying in databases: (i) developing interface systems that allow queries in pseudo-natural language, or (ii) developing an extended SQL-like languages. In this paper, we have adopted this second approach. The objective of this paper is to introduce a concep...

Seit Ende 2011 arbeitet die FSM gemeinsam mit den Unternehmen Facebook Germany GmbH, Google Germany GmbH, LinkedIn Corporation, Lokalisten Media GmbH, StayFriends GmbH, Poolworks (Germany) Ltd., wer-kennt-wen.de GmbH und XING AG an einem Kodex für Soziale Netzwerke, der die Bereiche Datenschutz, Jugendschutz und Verbraucherschutz abdecken soll. Die Initiative hierfür wurde im Sommer 2011 durch ...

The paper proposes a new model for veriication and high level synthesis (re)using complex units like co-processors. The model is called FSMC (FSM with Co-processors) and is an extension of the FSMD model (FSM with Data path). The veriication method is based on model checking. It permits to analyze the properties and consistency of the whole system and, particularly, the correct (re)use of desig...

The realisation of Global Cellular Automaton (GCA) using a comparatively high number of communicating finite state machines (FSM) leads to high communication effort. Inside configurable architectures, fixed numbers of FSM and fixed bus widths result in a granularity that makes mapping of larger GCA to these architectures even more difficult. This approach presents a configurable architecture to...
