Programmers make many changes to the program to eventually find a good solution for a given task. In this course of change, every intermediate development state can of value, when, for example, a promising ideas suddenly turn out inappropriate or the interplay of objects turns out more complex than initially expected before making changes. Programmers would benefit from tool support that provid...

High-integrity software systems are often so large that conventional development processes cannot get anywhere near achieving tolerable defect rates. This article presents an approach that has delivered software with very low defect rates cost-effectively. We describe the technical details of the approach and the results achieved, and discuss how to overcome barriers to adopting such best pract...

Ontology content patterns are meant to be used not only for new ontologies but also for reengineering of existing ontologies. However, the modelling style of such ontologies often differs from the best-practice pattern that is to be imported to their root portions, which makes the integration of the two models time-consuming and error-prone. We explore how the recently developed PatOMat transfo...

background: every year many organizations formulate a code of ethics (coe) but when it comes to implementing, it does not achieve the desired purposes. ineffectiveness of coes can stem from different factors and surely, one of them is bad formulation. this research was conducted to identify the barriers to effective formulation of coes in one of the main state universities of medical sciences i...

Since Sir Tim Berners-Lee announced the best practices to publish semantic data through the Web, Linked Data principles have been introduced into a wide variety of application domains. This usage of Linked Data eases the enrichment of offered data in a grade that the semantic data that not applies the Linked Data principles never would achieve. In this paper, we present LinkedQR, a tool to impr...

Objective The main objectives of the Network are to promote cross-border integrated diseases prevention and control through “One Health” approaches and joint action focusing on innovative human, animal and ecosystem health interventions, to among others:1) enhance and strengthen cross-country and cross-institutional collaboration through regional coordination of activities and local community p...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of the type of feedback and practice on the acquisition of parameter index. for this purpose, 8 groups (each 12 subjects) were formed: constant practice group with self–controlled feedback, constant practice group with yoked feedback (yoked group), blocked practice group with self–controlled feedback, blocked practice group with yoked feedback, rando...
