Aspect-orientation provides support for “ Separation of Concerns” by means of techniques that first isolate and then weave concerns. Most work in aspect-orientation has achieved such goals at the programming level, even also at the modeling level. Though, in some cases the application of these techniques is independent of the problem itself. In other words, the techniques for weaving either cod...

We propose a change management framework for Service-Oriented Enterprise (SOEs). We present a taxonomy of changes that occur in SOEs, whereby we focus on bottom-up changes. We use a combination of Ordinary Petri nets and Reconfigurable Petri nets to model the triggering changes and reactive changes, respectively. We propose an automatic change management framework that is based on the above Pet...

insurance play very important role on economic growth and development of the country.  it's stability depends on their customer's satisfaction. this paper wants to answer this question that which strategies in insurance industry is customer oriented and what kind of structure we need to attain this in this research not only present approaches used but also studies and experiences in i...

The application of ontologies (semantic) to enhance any existing or proposed Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) based software architecture has various levels of use in terms of intra and inter enterprise integration. The use of ontologies in an architectural design and development methodology of any service-oriented enterprise software holds the key to offer a dynamic, flexible and scalable s...

In beginning the development of a theory of brain-object using a top-down approach to mindbrain science, the first problem to be faced is one of developing research methodology. Between the starting point in mental physics and the ending point (a theory of soma), it can be reasonably anticipated that many intermediate steps will be required. This is regardless of whether the approach methodolog...

We extend first-order logic with sequence variables and sequence functions. We describe syntax, semantics and inference system for the extension, define an inductive theory with sequence variables and formulate induction rules. The calculus forms a basis for the top-down systematic theory exploration paradigm.

A new method for efficient recognition of general relational structures is described and compared with existing methods. Patterns to be recognized are defined by templates consisting of a set of predicate calculus relations. Productions are representable by associating actions with templates. A network for recognizing occurrences of any of the template patterns in data may be automatically comp...
