During the past few years, service oriented approaches have been appeared as a new research paradigm providing better control, re-usability, and reliability for the software developments. With the growing complexity of embedded systems, new methodologies are needed to facilitate design, implementation, and maintenance of such systems, while providing means to capitalize software developments. A...

Swift and frictionless launches of new products are a decisive capability of future telecommunication providers, especially in an all-IP production environment. These processes are characterized by nonlinear, network-like dependencies of multiple stakeholders (e.g. marketing, product management, IT, production, multi-project management, controlling and others) and critical technical resources s...

This paper reports on the development of an Aspect-Oriented Modeling engine and its initial deployment within the ModelDriven Engineering environment used in production at Motorola. The development environment is presented in detail, through a small example, and the current state of Aspect-Oriented Software Development technologies are discussed in this context. The report presents the particul...

Classroom assessment tasks and environment are central to supporting student learning, yet are under-studied at the tertiary level, especially in China’s test-driven culture. This study explores the relationship between students’ perceptions of assessment tasks and classroom assessment environment, within the university context of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in China. A questio...

We present a brokering service for the adaptive management of composite services. The goal of this broker is to dynamically adapt at runtime the composite service configuration, to fulfill the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) negotiated with different classes of requestors, despite variations of the operating environment. Differently from most of the current approaches, where the performance gua...

ion Gradient Both VisualAge for Java and Java Studio are based on the JavaBean component model implemented by Java; so they are object-oriented systems. Prograph can be used a full object-oriented programming environment. Therefore, these environments have all abstraction mechanisms that an object-oriented language offers.

I. INTRODUCTION Object-oriented design and development are popular concepts in today's software development environment. They are often heralded as the silver bullet for solving software problems. While in reality there is no silver bullet, object-oriented development has proved its value for systems that must be maintained and modified. Object-oriented software development requires a different...

In this paper a tool is presented for the development of numerical libraries for an object-oriented environment. The development of libraries has become more complicated as libraries have become larger and the subroutines have become more complex. In the object{oriented environment this development is further complicated by the object interface which usually resides between the application and ...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...
