The Use Case Map (UCM) scenario notation has some strong features related to rapid capture and evaluation of requirements models. In this paper, we explain how a UCM model was developed from a requirements oracle case study: the Autonomous Shuttle Transport System. We further consider establishing links between scenario elements and other types of requirements. These links, which can be support...

Schulze’s rule is used in the elections of a large number of organizations including Wikimedia and Debian. Part of the reason for its popularity is the large number of axiomatic properties, like monotonicity and Condorcet consistency, which it satisfies. We identify a potential shortcoming of Schulze’s rule: it is computationally vulnerable to manipulation. In particular, we prove that computin...

We present an analysis of the integrated properties of the stellar populations in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey of Hα-selected galaxies. In this paper, the first of a series, we describe in detail the techniques developed to model star-forming galaxies using a mixture of stellar populations, and taking into account the observational uncertainties. We assume a recent burst o...

-This paper presents a coordination model called XCM, intended to conceptualise coordination within ubiquitous computing, and one instantiation of this model called UCM. The constraints brought up to coordination by ubiquitous computing are the need to face immersion within physical environments, a very strong heterogeneity of software and hardware components, and a very high dynamicity and con...

The last generation of the mesoscale meteorological model try to incorporate urban characteristics, like as Urban Canopy Model (UCM) as a module added to the mesoscale meteorological model WRF (Weather & Research Forecasting system) (NCAR and others). The UCM approach is a good initial and ideal approach to develop micro urban meteorological simulations over urban domains. However, the real urb...
