The paper presents performance results for some components of the new, public-domain version of the SLICOT library (Subroutine Library in Control Theory), in comparison with equivalent computations performed by some Matlab functions included in the Control Toolbox. SLICOT incorporates the new algorithmic developments in numerical linear algebra, implemented in the stateof-the-art software packa...

XNBC is intended to simulate biological neural networks. XNBC V9 is an important evolution of the previous versions of the XNBC package, a full featured application for computer naive neuroscientists. XNBC is controlled via a user-friendly interface based on XWindow, Motif (Lesstif) and GTK and produces native colour PostScript high quality graphic outputs. XNBC is a public domain software pack...

In the past decade, several electronic data exchange processes between public authorities have been established by the German public administration. In the context of various legacy systems and numerous suppliers of software for public authorities, it is crucial that these interfaces are open and precisely and uniformly defined, in order to foster free competition and interoperability. A commun...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for automatic generation of visualizations from domain-specific data available on the web. We describe a general system pipeline that combines ontology mapping and probabilistic reasoning techniques. With this approach, a web page is first mapped to a Domain Ontology, which stores the semantics of a specific subject domain (e.g., music charts). The Dom...

It would be valuable to use metrics to identify the fault-proneness of software modules. However, few research works are on how to select appropriate metrics for fault-proneness prediction currently. We conduct a large-scale comparative experiment of nine different software metrics reduction methods over eleven public-domain data sets from the NASA metrics data repository. The Naive Bayes data ...

The absence of manageable global key distribution schemes is seriously hindering the deployment of basic security services in the In-ternet. The emergence of cryptosystems based on public key technology has represented a signiicant improvement in this direction by removing the need of a mutual agreement on the encryption key. However, the certiicate structures that bind a user to his public key...

There continues to be a trend towards using the power of cloud computing to tackle inherently large and complicated problem domains. Validating domain-intensive cloud applications presents a significant challenge because of the complexity of both the problem domain and the underlying cloud platform. In this paper, we describe an approach that leverages model-driven engineering to improve testin...
