designed to support the development and execution of scalable parallel applications on clusters (farms) of distributedand shared-memory Alpha processors running the Digital UNIX operating system. PSE version 1.0 supports the High Performance Fortran (HPF) language; it also supplies generic facilities required by other parallel languages and systems. PSE provides tools to define a cluster of pro...

The Tennessee Eastman Challenge Process (TECP) represents an interesting case study within PSE for process control and process optimization purposes. It has been widely addressed by the chemical engineering research community since its publication. The TECP is an open-loop unstable recycle reactor. The eigenvalues of the Jacobean matrix of the system at the base-case steady-state conditions, ra...

In large-scale scientific simulations, we sometimes have access to supercomputers and largescale cluster systems of appropriate computer centers at remote sites as a way of obtaining large scale computer resources. In this case, some difficulties in using such resources due to differences in rules and job execution at each computer center have been found. Differences among remote sites to be ac...

The paper is aiming at identifying a taxonomy to characterize meta-process categories, and their characteristics. The taxonomy will be applied to several existing software process-centered support environments (PSEs) and their support technologies. Up to now, meta-process has been poorly understood, and thus hardly exploited properly. In some PSEs, meta-process is however supported but its prop...

A study program philosophy for Professional Software Engineers will be outlined oriented towards current deficits and software technical requirements in industry, and considering important aspects of the occupation of future software engineers. In the educational concept the view is taken that the fundamentals of the analysis, modeling, realization and adaptation of software systems are based o...
