This paper presents the introductory concepts related to the modeling tool called object networks. Inspired by both (Fuzzy) Petri nets and object oriented technology, this modeling tool has been recently addressed as a formal framework for Computational Semiotics, and also as a meta-theoretical approach to the integration of different paradigms within Computing with Words and Computational Inte...

In this paper, we present a novel mobility model, called the Scalable Mobility Modeling Tool (SMMT), which is based around a scaleable algorithmic mobility model that can be applied to a large number of possible horizontal environments, from wide area networks (WAN) to local areas networks (LAN), to analyze the issues related to mobility management and radio resource management. The SMMT introd...

Sculpt, an interactive polyhedral solid modeling system, combines the effectiveness of BSP trees for performing geometric search, set operations, and determination of visibility, with the rendering performance of the AT&T Pixel Machines to provide interactive SCUlpting of texture mapped solids. The paradigm presented to the user is one in which a tool is used to modify a workpiece repeatedly by...

Processes need to be captured in a structured way in order to analyse them by using computer-assisted methods. This circumstance becomes more important as processes become complex. Business Process Model and Notation appears as de factor standard in industry as process modeling language. However, it has a limit that semantics like e.g input/output parameters, involved persons or references to e...

We describes a method for manipulating a threedimensional object without considering conventional three independent orthogonal views. We apply the direct manipulation method to operate the threedimensional object. We propose \augmented manipulation" method which is an enhanced direct manipulation technique by using additional information. We implement three-dimensional modeling tool \Claymore" ...

The bflow* Hive is a collection of Eclipse plug-ins that can be integrated into various Eclipse-based modeling tools. It adds several features that are useful in particular for model analysis and model exchange. Most of these features put the principle of end user-programming into practice: Modeling tool users can add their own add-ons at runtime without having to re-compile the original modeli...

Model-Driven Development (MDD) has encouraged the use of automated software tools that facilitate the development process from modelling to coding. User Interfaces (UI), as a significant part of most applications, should also be modelled using a MDD perspective. This paper presents an Eclipse GMF tool for modelling user-interaction diagrams –an specialization of the UML state-machines for UI de...

Software design patterns mainly serve to design and develop software efficiently and effectively. Patterns are traditionally represented using UML notations and formal models. These are not always sufficient to analyze behavior. There are various problems related to visualization, abstracting, design to implementation mapping problems, etc. This paper promotes the use of Fundamental Modeling Co...

The Unified Modeling Language is widely used today in different stages of system development. A growing number of tools that support the UML notation are available. Evaluation of these tools is important so as to be able to choose among them the best suited to the job. Designing and developing a metric to conduct such evaluation is the first step in the assessment process. To be able to constru...

Using UML modeling for designing a software product is heavily used by the industry. However the tool support for model based development have not reached the same level as the tool support of source code based development. Our goal was to provide a tool to support refactoring and static analysis of UML models, which were developed in the open source modeling framework, Papyrus [Papyrus 2014]. ...
