This workshop provides a forum for discussing issues related to the development of undergraduate software engineering programs. Participants discuss means by which software engineering concepts can be incorporated in either new or existing baccalaureate programs. 1. Workshop objectives The objectives of the workshop are: (1) to report on the experiences of some institutions now offering or prep...

Increasingly, organizations are foregoing an ad hoc approach to metrics in favor of complete metrics programs. The authors identify consensus requirements for metric program success and examine how programs in two organizations measured up. ntil relatively recently, software measurement in the Western world has been a rather ad hoc affair focused on measuring individual, product-based software ...

OBJECTIVE: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are difficult lesions partly because it is difficult to formulate a mental, 3D image of the nidus and of its supplying arteries, draining veins, and arteries of passage. Our purpose is to provide PC software that allows better visualization of complex, three-dimensional (3D), connected vascular anatomy for surgical planning. METHODS: Vessels are def...

This paper will present the initial findings of a research into distributed computer rendering. The goal of the research is to create a distributed computer system capable of rendering a 3D model into an MPEG-4 stream. This paper outlines the initial design, software architecture and hardware setup for the system. Distributed computing means designing and implementing programs that run on two o...

The use of computer systems to aid clinical decision making is growing. Besides clinical practice, computer applications, decision support systems or technologies can be used during dentistry and periodontology learning. A research was made using 30 searching expressions, based on MeSH Terms. A total of 17 articles were selected from the initial 249. Dental Students’ Ability to Assess Gingival ...

Moscow, Russia, January 03, 2012 YUVsoft Corp., a software R&D company, announced the release of its 2D to 3D Suite as a set of plugins for NUKE compositing software to complement the existing versions for the Adobe After Effects environment. The software accelerates and increases the quality of professional semiautomatic stereo 3D conversion performed by film post-production companies, VFX com...

Distributed, on-demand, data-intensive, and collaborative simulation analysis tools are being developed by an international team to solve real problems such as bioinformatics applications. The project consists of three distinct focuses: compute, visualize, and collaborate. Each component utilizes software and hardware that performs across the International Grid. Computers in North America, Asia...

SUMMARY MASIA is a software tool for pattern recognition in multiple aligned protein sequences. MASIA converts a sequence to a properties matrix that can be scanned in both vertical and horizontal steps. Consistent patterns are recognized based on the statistical significance of their occurrence. Preset macros can be altered on-line to seek any combination of amino acid properties or sequence c...

BESLE is the first available parallel open-source code to analyse mechanical behaviour of heterogeneous materials using boundary element method (BEM) in 3D and both an elastostatic elastodynamic setting. Unlike all other codes that are presently available, software presented here capable simulating isotropic anisotropic comprised single or multiple domains. Furthermore, user-interface has been ...
