background: computerized preventive screening software is a cost effective intervention tool to address non-communicable chronic diseases. shiraz smart screening software (ssss) was developed as an innovative tool for qualified screening. it allows simultaneous smart screening of several high-burden chronic diseases and supports reminder notification functionality. the extent in which ssss affe...

It is becoming increasingly desirable to incorporate Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) tools as software components into larger software systems. Due to their large user base, COTS tools tend to be cheap, reasonably reliable, and functionally powerful. Reusing them as components has the benefit of significantly reducing development cost and effort. Despite these advantages, developers encounter m...

System management, now mainly a manual process based on individual knowledge and experience of administrators, is now very time-consuming, inefficient, and error-prone. This paper proposes an open framework to design and implement self-managing systems that dramatically alleviates the burden of system administrators and improves the security and stability of systems. To be machineprocessable, s...

Cache managers speed up the performance of data intensive applications whose workload is dominated by queries. An example is memcached which is in use by very large well-known sites such as Facebook. A key challenge of such systems is how to maintain the state of the cache consistent with that of the database in the presence of updates. With SQL based database management systems (DBMSs) that su...

The purpose of this paper is to propose an architecture for intrusion detection based on Software as a Service (SaaS) called Software as a Service Intrusion Detection Services (SaaSIDS) in a cloud environment. Therefore, this research focusing on developing Software As A Service IDS (SaaSIDS) where the traffic at different points of the network is sniffed and the interested packets would be tra...

Assessing the impact of change on a software development project is a critical management activity. Traceability affords us opportunities to manage the change process through notification and synchronisation mechanisms. We present an architecture, developed as part of the EU funded Ophelia project, that supports traceability across all project artefacts.

about multiple sources of information while engaged in other tasks. Notification systems are interfaces specifically designed to support user access to additional digital information from sources secondary to current activities. Many such interfaces, especially examples such as Web page advertisements and animated software agents, seem to be ineffective and distracting, and are abandoned or ign...
