Thermal buckling behavior of truncated conical liner reinforced by laminated composite is investigated in the presence of a general initial imperfection. For this purpose, the method of virtual work and first-order strain-deformation shell theory are employed to extract equilibrium equations. To this end, a finite element code is developed using the 3D 8-node shell element with six degrees of f...

This paper studies the problem of discovering protocol definitions from read-world service interaction data, which often are imperfect in various ways. It first describes the challenges in protocol discovery in such a context and the different aspects that must be considered by a protocol discovery solution. Next, it reports the current progress by presenting a discovery algorithm that is robus...

IX Chapter 0ABSTRACT The process of designing high-quality software systems is one of the major issues in software engineering research. Over the years, this has resulted in numerous design methods, each with specific qualities and drawbacks. For example, the Rational Unified Process is a comprehensive design process, which is proposed to support the major phases in the software engineering lif...
