Context-awareness and adaptability are highly desirable features for software systems that operate in dynamic environments. In recent years, a number of approaches have been proposed to support the development of such systems. However, elicitation of a context-aware adaptive system requirements and synthesis of the system model from its requirements are still major challenges. In this paper, we...

In 2003, the Object Management Group (OMG) officially introduced the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). The specification explains how different OMG standards could be used together. MDA focuses on the concepts of Platform Independent Models and Platform Specific Models, two viewpoints on software systems, and how mappings between these two can be made in order to streamline software development....

The purpose of the present study was the simulation of climate change effects on groundwater resources in Iran by using the dynamic systems approach. The approach was performed through system dynamics modeling process including problem explanation, system description, model development, model testing, and the use of the model for policy analysis. The impact of the application of various exogeno...

Software testing plays an important role in the overall software development process. However, many areas of software testing are still unexplored, or contain gaps in their existing body of knowledge, such as the area of GUI acceptance and system testing. This thesis aims to bridge this gap with results from a multiple-case study with the goal of investigating the current state of GUI acceptanc...

In 2005, the initial version of CyberCIEGE, a network security simulation packaged as a video game, was released. Since then, we have developed a suite of game scenarios and have enhanced and extended the underlying game engine to cover a broad set of cybersecurity concepts. CyberCIEGE includes a Scenario Development Kit to customize existing game scenarios and create new ones. A Scenario Devel...
