Description Extended Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Models may be specified with reticular action model (RAM) matrices or paths,linear structural relations (LISREL) matrices or paths, or directly in matrix algebra. To increase modularity, model expectations,fit functions, and optimizers can be easily interchanged. Fit functions include full information maximum likelihood (FIML),maximum li...

This paper deals with the design of the modular development system DEBOA for the rapid prototyping of optimization applications on the basis of Bayesian Optimization Algorithm [1]. The general requirements on the development system are identified including modularity and visualization of results. The design of the development system itself is realized on the platform of Java language, which ens...

We present the main features of a system designed to support the development and delivery of web applications through concepts for modularity, reuse and rapid prototyping. The system is based on an extended object-oriented database system that manages both application data and publishing information in terms of content, structure and presentation. The process of information delivery uses dynami...

This paper presents the EXHOST-PIPE software: an extension of PIPE – Platform Independent Petri net Editor – that complies with our own specifications. The new version supports the two kinds of Petri nets we have developed: particle Petri nets and plan Petri nets. EXHOST-PIPE also supports colours, modularity, time, guards, differential equations. . . The Petri net player has been extended and ...

Modularity of the cranidium of Crassifimbra? metalaspis, a Cambrian ptychoparioid trilobite, is investigated using landmark-based geometric morphometric methods to gain insight into the integration among morphogenetic processes responsible for shaping the head of an ancient arthropod. Of particular interest is the extent to which the structure of phenotypic integration was governed by direct in...

Many complex networks exhibit a modular structure of densely connected groups of nodes. Usually, such a modular structure is uncovered by the optimization of some quality function. Although flawed, modularity remains one of the most popular quality functions. The Louvain algorithm was originally developed for optimizing modularity, but has been applied to a variety of methods. As such, speeding...
