Software reuse is the use of software resources from all stages of the software development process in new applications. Given the high cost and difficulty of developing high quality software, the idea of capitalizing on previous software investments is appealing. However, software reuse has not been as effective as expected and has not been very broadly or systematically used in industry. This...

The American Association for Dental Research (AADR) surveyed its leaders to determine their perceptions of the prevalence of problematic research practices and the possible roles AADR should play in promoting scientific integrity. Seventy-six of the 98 program chairs and Association officers (1990-1995) surveyed responded. In general, these respondents did not think that serious misconduct or s...

This paper reports the results of an online survey on terminology management and terminology extraction conducted by the Linguistic Data Processing section of Dept. 4.6 Applied Linguistics & Translating/Interpreting at Saarland University. The survey was available on the Internet in English, French, German, and Spanish from mid-May until September 2005 [1] . It was promoted in many major CAT ma...

The increasing level of Internet penetration over the last decade has made web surveying a viable option for data collection in academic research. Software tools and services have been developed to facilitate the development and deployment of web surveys. Many academics and research students are outsourcing the design and/or hosting of their web surveys to external service providers, yet ethica...

Multimedia content shared within social networks has become one of the most interesting research fields in the last few years. This paper investigates how this undoubted emerge in enriched, geo-tagged multimedia content has evolved over time within the humanistic framework of the Flickr social network and summarizes numerous content mining techniques in the process. It attempts also to identify...

Code duplication or copying a code fragment and then reuse by pasting with or without any modifications is a well known code smell in software maintenance. Several studies show that about 5% to 20% of a software systems can contain duplicated code, which is basically the results of copying existing code fragments and using then by pasting with or without minor modifications. One of the major sh...

The explosive growth of data produced by different devices and applications has contributed to the abundance of big data. To process such amounts of data efficiently, strategies such as De-duplication has been employed. Among the three different levels of de-duplication named as file level, block level and chunk level, De-duplication at chunk level also known as byte level is the most popular a...

1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide a short review of some of the key publications in the area of stereo vision research. It is not intended as a full tutorial on stereo vision as this can be found elsewhere in standard texts on machine vision. Rather, it is intended to be a summary of the important research issues and approaches that researchers have taken and how these t...

Ever since the introduction of the Dynamically Reconfigurable Buses, the architecture gained a lot of popularity amongst the researchers and scientists for its high performance computing with general purpose processor used. It is a powerful model of computation in which communication pattern between the processors could be changed during the execution. Following the years several new architectu...
