In a component-based system, connectors are used to compose components. Connectors should have a semantics that makes them simple to construct and use. At the same time, their semantics should be rich enough to endow them with desirable properties such as genericity, compositionality and reusability. For connector construction, compositionality would be particularly useful, since it would facil...

Micro ACTION PIN (MAP) connectors from Tyco Electronics have taken through-hole connector technology to a new level— significantly reducing hole diameters compared to previous designs, while retaining the assembly and operational advantages of press-fit connectors. Equally important, the inherent design attributes of MAP connectors offer electrical performance comparable to, or better than, con...

Software connectors is one of key word in enterprise information system. In recent years, software developers have facing more challenges of connectors which are used to connect distributed components. Design of connectors in an existing system encounters many issues such as choosing the connectors based on scenario quality, matching these connectors with design pattern, and implementing them. ...

The conceptual separation between computation and coordination in distributed computing systems motivates the use of peculiar entities commonly called connectors, whose task is managing the interaction among distributed components. Different kinds of connectors exist in the literature, at different levels of abstraction. We focus on a basic algebra of connectors which is expressive enough to mo...

The precast concrete shear wall system is becoming very popular in North America for low, medium, and highrise construction due to the economical advantages possible with the ease and speed of assembly, and the high quality of the precast panels. The connections between panels are extremely important since they affect both the speed of erection and the overall integrity of the structure. This p...

To verify the effectiveness of uplift-restricted and slip-permitted (URSP) connectors in alleviating crack formation negative-moment region steel-concrete composite beams (SCCBs) improve engineering adaptability URSP connectors, this paper proposes a modified (MURSP) connector. Static load tests theoretical analysis were conducted on two overhanging with MURSP ordinary studs to analyze influenc...
