In this paper, we propose an integral software process model which is applicable in the construction of the conventional systems and knowledge-based systems (KBS), centered in the capacities. The designed model is prescriptive, that is indicates "what is done" to produce and maintain an automated solution to a problem of the real world and "who's who", the person doing it. The Capacities-Center...

Abstract Background: The development of scientific software applications is far from trivial, due to the constant increase in necessary complexity these applications, their increasing size, and need for intensive maintenance reuse. Aim: To this end, developers (who usually lack a formal computer science background) use appropriate engineering (SE) practices. This paper describes results systema...

1 Gilda Pour, Department of Computer Engineering, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA 95192-0180, U.S.A. [email protected] Abstract – Agent-oriented enterprise software engineering (AOESE) has emerged as a promising approach to developing Web-based enterprise software systems. AOESE is based on developing and evolving enterprise software systems from selected pre-engineered and pre-tested soft...

1 J. L. Díaz-Herrera, Southern Polytechnic State University, School of Computing and Software Engineering, Marietta, GA 30060. [email protected] Abstract  Since the mid-1980s, software engineering has been accepted as a formal field of study in academia. Software engineering education is maturing from specialized courses in computer science, to numerous Master's programs, and more recently to the...

The interpretations of logical expressions found in most introductory textbooks are not suitable for use in software engineering applications because they do not deal with partial functions. More advanced papers and texts deal with partial functions in a variety of complex ways. This paper proposes a very simple change to the classic interpretation of predicate expressions, one that defines the...
