In this paper, we present our approach to introduce dynamism support to simulation environments, which adopts a Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS)-based modeling and simulation approach and builds upon previous work on Simulation Modeling Architecture (SiMA), a DEVS-based simulation framework developed at TUBITAK UEKAE. In the relevant literature there are already proposed solutions to ...

Derived from a research work of the same title, this article aims at recognizing the spiritual characteristics of the concept of dynamism and motion in the Iranian traditional architecture as well as its manifestation in the connector spaces of traditional houses. These valuable buildings represent the diversity of movement and stagnation for reaching eternal concepts through reproduction and v...

Software development is a constant endeavor to optimize qualities like performance and robustness while ensuring functional correctness. Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) form a foundation for modeling and analyzing functional and non-functional properties of software systems, but, short of programming, only the simulation of those models can ensure certain desired qualities and functio...

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune effectors that lyse virally infected and tumorigenic cells through the formation of an immunological synapse. Actin remodeling at the lytic immunological synapse is a critical requirement for multiple facets of cytotoxic function. Activating receptor and integrin signaling leads to the regulated turnover and remodeling of actin, which is required for ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a layered agent architecture for decision support applications in general and for distributed medical care in particular. Three important characteristics which shaped the agent design are identified: distribution of data and control, information uncertainty, and environment dynamism. To provide appropriate decision support in these circumsta...

DR-BIP is an extension of the BIP component framework intended for programming reconfigurable systems encompassing various aspects dynamism. It relies on architectural motifs to structure architecture a system and coordinate its reconfiguration at runtime. An motif defines set interacting components that evolve according rules. With DR-BIP, dynamism can be captured as inter-play dynamic changes...

The fact that software systems are ever more complex nowadays leads the designers to rethink the strategy to handle and manage them. Hence, their development and maintenance strategies must be redesigned. Adaptability (and also self-adaptation) can be considered one of the most important of their features at the architecture level. This position paper outlines an architectural solution to tackl...
