Long-term management of configurators has been identified as challenging and business-critical in previous work. Configuration knowledge and prices may change frequently due to product changes and business reasons. If sales rely on configuration support, prompt updates are important, even business-critical. This work reports challenges and practices of long-term management of a configurable B2C...

oftware systems can be succinctly described, constructed, and managed in terms of their software conf ig~rat ion.’-~ This configuration consists of the set of software components that implement system functionality, plus their control and communication interconnections. Program modules are defined and constructed to provide well-defined interfaces, giving the information and calls provided to o...

Exploratory activity was examined in 4 young baboons with the aim of investigating the type of spatial coding (purely geometric and/or by taking into account the identity of the object) used for the configuration of objects. Animals were individually tested in an outdoor enclosure for their exploratory reactions (contact time and order of spontaneous visits) to changes brought about to a config...

As a network evolves over time, multiple operators modify the network configuration, without fully considering what has been done previously. Similar policies are defined more than once, and policies that become obsolete after a transition are left in the configuration. As a result, the network configuration becomes complicated and disorganized, escalating maintenance costs and operator faults....

Software Configuration Management controls evolution of software development process to include only valid configuration items in the final product. The study offers a new model-driven approach for the implementation of software configuration management. The new approach is based on creation of configuration management models with different scopes and level of abstraction. The first model in co...

creating and preserving large patches in land use configuration and satisfying compactness and contiguity in land use configuration are nature-prescribed and nature-inspired criteria that can be used in land use planning better that before. accompanying compactness and contiguity as the important landscape metrics in land use planning and land use configuration is close to applying proactive ap...

Innovations, commercialized by new or old established firms, located at the core of industrial renewal process. The innovation concept has suffered transformations, along with the evolution of the models that try to explain and understand the innovation process. The innovative process corresponds to all activities that generate technological changes and the dynamic interaction between them, not...

Hydroxylated cytokinin, 2-methylthio-N6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl) adenosine, was found in the tRNA of Azotobacter vinelandii. This cytokinin had the trans configuration, unlike the cis configuration reported for that from other bacteria. Culture-condition-dependent changes in the content of this thiocytokinin and a few other thionucleosides in the tRNA of this bacterium have been observed.
