This paper introduces Pervaho, a platform for developing and testing mobile ad hoc applications. Such applications exhibit an inherently here & now nature, i.e., they only execute when adequate conditions are met right here and right now. For this reason, the Pervaho platform is founded on a location-based publish/subscribe service. This first cornerstone of our platform allows mobile peers to ...

Children with ASD show signs of delays in communication and social interaction along with repetitive behaviors and interests. Today, diagnosis is performed by clinical assessmen...

Test driven development (TDD), also known as Test-First coding which is a practice where programmers write a production code only after writing a automated failing test case. This practice is primarily used in software development circle. In Growing Objects, using tests we implement Component Testing.

In Test-Driven development, first test is made according to the customer requirement and then code is prepared to execute this test successfully. In this approach, design is not done exclusively before preparing test cases and coding. Design emerges as software evolves but this may result in lack of design quality. We adapted TDD by incorporating exclusive architectural design phase in the succ...
