Merging software from 36 independent work packages into a coherent, unified software system with a lifespan of twenty years is the challenge faced by the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MROI). We solve this problem by using standardized interface software automatically generated from simple highlevel descriptions of these systems, relying only on Linux, GNU, and POSIX without comple...

In this paper, numerical investigation of upward two phase flow of air-water has been studied. Different conditions of flow regimes including annular, wispy annular, slug, churn and bubbly are simulated based on Hewitt and Roberts map, and a good agreement between the experimental data of the map and the numerical simulation has been observed. Accordingly, a proper CFD model in CFD software of ...

This study considers using of Component Template Library (CTL) as middle-ware and weak coupling algorithm of software components for heat transfer and structure analysis. The CTL interface is specially designed to exchange data between the software components. The structure simulation component is linked to the heat transfer simulation component by remote method invocation and by dynamic linkag...

A suite of tools called NCHARGE (Networked Configurable Hardware Administrator for Reconfiguration and Governing via End-systems) has been developed to simplify the co-design of hardware and software components that process packets within a network of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). A key feature of NCHARGE is that it provides a high-performance packet interface to hardware and standard...

In this paper, we describe organization of a machine learning system based on dynamically reconfigurable architecture and self-organization. This system learns typical neural network tasks using self-organizing learning array algorithm described elsewhere. To develop this system, we adopt hardware-software codesign approach based on combining an array of VIRTEX XCV1000 FPGAs with custom softwar...

Interface specifications play an important role in component-based software development. An interface theory is a formal framework supporting composition, refinement and compatibility of interface specifications. We present different interface theories which use modal I/O-transition systems as their underlying domain for interface specifications: synchronous interface theories, which employ a s...

This paper presents UIDLC Manager, a software that provides user interface designers and developers with methodological guidance throughout user interface development life cycle. A methodologist firstly creates a dashboard model of the life cycle according to a corresponding meta-model in order to define a development path, decomposed into development tasks which structure the path into actions...

As a wide variety of interaction devices, modalities has to be supported by user interface developers, model-based user interface development gets increasing attention. Especially if contextand user-awareness comes into play, handcrafting a user interface is rendered almost impossible. In modelbased user interface development, usually several models are applied to describe different aspects of ...

The growth in demand for interactive software system has increased greatly in recent years. But, most of the developed systems are failing due to not providing suitable interface. User interface is the only way by which user can interact with software system. The problem lying in the interface is related to the usability. Usability is regarded as important quality factor for developing the succ...
