Some systems interact with their environment at a number of physically distributed interfaces called ports. When testing such a system under test (SUT) it is normal to place a local tester at each port and the local testers form a local test case. If the local testers cannot interact with one another and there is no global clock then we are testing in the distributed test architecture. In this ...

the wide availability of data on air pollutant emissions, the knowledge already achieved on theset of chemical and photochemical reactions in the troposphere, the ability to access real time weatherconditions at the local scale that determine the transport and transformation of gases and aerosol, now make it possible to obtain credible and reliable predictions, retrospective analyses and/or fut...

Little scientific research has as yet been done on local projects conforming to Enterprise Architecture (EA). To lay foundations for such research, this article presents a theoretical framework for defining the Project Architecture (PA) in the context of working with EA. One part of the PA is the Project Start Architecture (PSA), which bounds the local project to the EA and/or Domain Architectu...

national health information network (nhin) is a network in which all health care organizations, government agencies and other health-related organizations are connected to each other to exchange information about health. due to the necessity of a framework for nhin development, in this paper, according to the literature review, a definition for nhin framework was provided, and then the nhin rel...

the following study aims to present an innovative approach for design. participatory design is the model of direct involvement of different social groups in the design from functional tools to environments, social institutions and businesses. diverse collection of practices has been developed to support this direct involvement by participatory design. people are invited to participate during di...
