In this paper, we propose a methodology developed in the framework of the VISPO project for engineering a three-layer ontology, based on the conceptualization, integration, synthesis and categorization of XML data descriptions provided by a number of sources in a virtual district, where different enterprises cooperate for business purposes. Ontologies are proposed as an unifying framework for d...

This paper presents a general approach for generating higher order (longer size) multidimensional (m-d) architectures from m 2 lower order (shorter sizes) architectures. The objective of our work is to derive a unified framework and a design methodology that allows direct mapping of the proposed algorithms into embedded reconfigurable architectures such as FPGAs. Our methodology is based on man...

In this paper we present a unified (probabilistic/possibilistic) model for resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with uncertain activity durations and a concept of a heuristic approach connected to the theoretical model. It is shown that the uncertainty management can be built into any heuristic algorithm developed to solve RCPSP with deterministic activity durations. The esse...

conclusions it may be concluded based on the results of this study that unified transdiagnostic treatment is effective on recovery of social anxiety and negative and positive affects among the students. therefore, clinical therapists are advised to use this intervention. results results showed a significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of social anxiety and negati...

Unified modelling language (UML) 2.0 introduced in 2002 has been developing and influencing object-oriented software engineering and has become a standard and reference for information system analysis and design modelling. There are many concepts and theories to model the information system or software application with UML 2.0, which can make ambiguities and inconsistencies for a novice to lear...

This work presents an XML-based authoring methodology that facilitates the different tasks associated with the development of standards-compliant e-learning content development. The idea is to support a unified authoring process of adaptive e-learning content by adopting the manual writing metaphor. According to this metaphor, which is specially well-suited for technical domains, instructors ar...

In the paper we present the importance of collaboration between researchers for the improvement of their creativity. A unified methodology to support collaboration strategies of researchers and research teams based on knowledge sharing is introduced. We argue that a defined methodology together with an efficient technological system supporting the methodology should improve the creativity of re...

Traditional analysis and usage of operation commutativity relies on pairwise commutativity relationships. In contrast, this paper presentsmethod group commutativity, which specifies the conditions under which operations in amethod group will commute. Method group commutativity can be practically applied to efficiently support distributed object caching and concurrency control. A formal definiti...

Requirement analysis is the preliminary step in software development process. The requirements stated by the clients are analyzed and an abstraction of it, is created which is termed as requirement model. The automatic generation of UML diagram from natural language requirements is highly challenging and demanding very efficient methodology. Unified Modeling Language (UML) models are helpful fo...
