In order to support the development of complex products, modeling tools and processes need to support co-design of software and hardware in an integrated way. Modelica is the major object-oriented mathematical modeling language for component-oriented modeling of complex physical systems and UML is the dominant graphical modeling notation for software. In this paper we propose ModelicaML UML pro...

The reliability of plagiarism detection systems, which try to identify similar programs in large populations, is critically dependent on the choice of program representation. Software metrics conventionally used as representations are described, and the limitations of metrics adapted from software complexity measures are outlined. An applicationspecific metric is proposed, one that represents t...

The heterogeneity and dynamics in terms of hardware and software configurations are steadily increasing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Therefore, software management is becoming one of the most prominent challenges in this domain. This applies especially for on-demand updates for improved redundancy or adaptive task allocation. Methodologies for efficient software management in WSN need to...

Important quality criteria for profile bending are an accurate profile contour and an accurate cross section. During the bending process, torsion of the profile, deformation of the cross section, and deviations at the profile contour can occur. If these undesired effects are too large, the bent profile is not usable. Critical causes of profile cross section deformation are thin wall thicknesses...

Software metrics are the key performance indicators, using which the performance of a system can be assessed quantitatively. Metrics can also be applied for personalized web search which can be used to retrieve relevant results for each individual user depending on their unique profile. Although personalized search based on user profile has been under research for many years and various metrics...

As the Android platform is widely used for embedded systems including smart mobile devices, the needs for systematic performance analysis have significantly increased. System performance is usually measured by benchmarks and profiler software. We studied on the performance of Android platform using a benchmark application and public profile software. For more detail and integrated performance a...

The Event-driven Process Chain (EPCs) is a very well established business process modelling diagram. It can be used as the starting point for software development and therefore, software engineers have to read these diagrams but prefer a well-known notation. For that reason, we have developed a UML 2 profile for EPCs based on a 1 1 mapping with UML 2 Activity Diagrams. The profile is tested wit...

%675$&7 We describe ConcernBASE, a UML-based approach that is an instantiation of the IEEE’s Conceptual Framework (Std 1471) for describing software architectures. We show how the approach supports advanced separation of concerns in software architecture by allowing one to identify and define multiple viewpoints, concern spaces and views of an architecture. Our work focuses on integrating the C...

From our experience with customers who deploy customized software products, we have learned that deriving products from shared software assets requires more than complying with quality standards like ISO9126. Additionally, developers must consider what we call the quality profile of the final product. A process that matches the quality profile of final product during product derivation helps pr...

Automated software engineering research aspires to lead to more consistent software, faster delivery and lower production costs. Meanwhile, RESTful design is rapidly gaining momentum towards becoming the primal software engineering paradigm for the web, due to its simplicity and reusability. This paper attempts to couple the two perspectives and take the first step towards applying the MDE para...
