The performance of the Eulerian gyrokinetic-Maxwell solver code GYRO is analyzed on five high performance computing systems. First, a manual approach is taken, using custom scripts to analyze the output of embedded wallclock timers, floating point operation counts collected using hardware performance counters, and traces of user and communication events collected using the profiling interface t...

FOREX (Foreign Currency Exchange) is concerned with the exchange rates of foreign currencies compared to one another. These rates provide significant data necessary for currency trading in the international monetary markets. FOREX rates are impacted by a variety of factors including economic and political events, and even the psychological state of individual traders and investors. These factor...

INTRODUCTION Measuring the effect of safety and health on production is a difficult value to gauge. METHOD This article introduces the Potential, which is an instrument for economic analysis that incorporates different changes in conditions. RESULTS While there are a number of problems associated with methods to determine these calculations, this method is a good indicator of the effects of...

In this thesis I will describe a new evaluation method, designed to evaluation the quality of a modeling tool, based on how well it supports the user's interactions. These interactions are based on the modeling language the tool is based on and the heuristics developed in human computer interaction. The research in this thesis was done using an extensive literature investigation using multiple ...

Masev (MAs Software engineering EValuation framework) is an online application that allows analyzing and comparing methods, techniques and environments for developing MAS. Moreover, Masev allows the evaluation of how these methods and tools support the development of Organizational MAS and Service-oriented MAS. Finally, Masev provides a quantitative comparison based on a simple metric whose par...

MEADEP is a user-friendly dependability evaluation tool for measurement-based analysis of critical systems. MEADEP consists of four software modules: a data preprocessor for converting data in various formats to the MEADEP format, a data analyzer for graphical data presentation and parameter estimation, a graphical modeling interface for building block diagrams (including the exponential block,...

The Computer Aided Software Engineering is a paradigm that incorporates integrated tools, technology and a methodology that supports and supplements the software development life cycle. The basic objective of CASE is to provide a set of tools to the Software Development team to automate their efforts, bringing about enhanced efficiency and reduced time and efforts. Object oriented approaches ha...

The content of image archives changes rapidly. This makes the traditional separation of ontology development and image annotation steps no longer feasible. In this paper, we present an approach, termed ImageNotion that allows for the collaborative development of domain ontologies directly by domain experts with minimal ontology experience. ImageNotion is both a methodology based on the idea of ...

they produce meaning@ results. new technique or tool in IEEE Software or elsewhere, and you are considering its use on your project. If it worked for someone else, how do you know it will work for you? The last decade has seen explosive growth in the number of software-engineering methods and tools, each one offering to improve some characteristic of software, its development, or its maintenanc...

This paper presents two contributions to the field of Ontology Evaluation. First, a live catalogue of pitfalls that extends previous works on modeling errors with new pitfalls resulting from an empirical analysis of over 693 ontologies. Such a catalogue classifies pitfalls according to the Structural, Functional and UsabilityProfiling dimensions. For each pitfall, we incorporate the value of it...
