This chapter describes a novel application of machine learning to an important estimation problem in software engineering – estimating the number of hidden defects in software artifacts. The number of defects is a software metric that is indispensable for guiding decisions about the software quality assurance during development. In engineering processes, management usually demands that a certai...

Most businesses of today are increasingly becoming dependent on computer systems in their daily operation. Businesses need to respond quickly and accurately to be able to compete in their rapidly changing envi ronments. It is important that organizations and businesses become aware of the gain that could be realized by applying Integrated Computer Aided Software Engineering to their systems des...

Developing Multiuser Virtual Environments (MUVE) is a very complex task since it involves several engineering domains aspects such as, Virtual Reality, Cooperative Work and Distributed Systems. Furthermore, existing technologies like, graphics capabilities, processing power and network bandwidth, are permanently evolving. For MUVE systems to be successfully developed they must not only deal wit...

An Improved Synthetic Variable Ratio (ISVR) fusion method is proposed to merge high spatial resolution panchromatic (Pan) images and multispectral (MS) images based on a simulation of the panchromatic image from the multispectral bands. Compared to the existing SVR (Synthetic Variable Ratio) family methods, the ISVR method manifests two major improvements: a simplified and physically meaningful...

A vital issue in context of modern distributed com puting environments is a simple and safe use of the computing storage and communication facilities present on the network In this paper we propose an agent based architectural concept for such an envi ronment which should assist the user in submitting requests to the distributed system in a transparent way The user should not need speci c knowl...

Urban green infrastructures (UGI) have been suggested as a natural solution to tackle the problem of human thermal comfort well reduce energy consumption in buildings under pressures rapid urbanization and global warming. However, acceptance UGI mitigate urban heat effect is not yet universal. The development such an infrastructure also consistent across regions, emphasizing different objective...

We consider a random walk with transition probabilities weakly dependent on an environment with a deterministic, but strongly chaotic, evolution. We prove that for almost all initial conditions of the environment the walk satisfies the CLT.

The achievement of the targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions set by Paris Agreements and Swiss federal law on reduction (CO2 law) requires massive use renewable energies, which cannot be achieved without their adoption general public. solar cadaster developed as part INTERREG G2 Solar project is intended to assess potential buildings at scale Greater Geneva—for both industrial individua...
