This paper presents an evaluation of the framework SDDD through teaching information systems development module. The framework combined techniques from Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), the Unified Modelling Language (UML), and an implementation pattern. The evaluation is done to find the applicability of the framework as an approach for teaching and developing information systems. Feedback from ...

aim and background: in this study we examined the efficacy of unified transdiagnostic treatment in reduction of women with generalized anxiety disorder pathological symptoms. methods and materials: in the present study we used non-congruent multiple baseline experimental single case study design. three women with generalized anxiety disorder (gad) were selected  from patients of tabriz two coun...

ÐThe Object-Process Methodology (OPM) specifies both graphically and textually the system's static-structural and behavioral-procedural aspects through a single unifying model. This model singularity is contrasted with the multimodel approach applied by existing object-oriented system analysis methods. These methods usually employ at least three distinct models for specifying various system asp...

There is general consensus in the software and control systems literature that real-time systems are difficult to model, specify, and design. This is due to the fact that issues such as concurrency, synchronization between processes, and real-time constraints must be expressed. Since real time systems play a central role in many technological advents, it is an important and challenging task to ...

After the IEEE ballot accepted the first draft language reference manual for VHDL-AMS (IEEE PAR 1076.1) in October 1997, we now can spend time and effort on applying the new arising methodology to real world problems outside the electronic domain. In automotive engineering we have system design problems dealing with hydraulic or mechanic components and their controlling units, for which we expe...

We propose a case study where a familiar but very complex and intrinsically woven bio-computing system--the blood clotting cascade--is specified using methods from software design known as object-oriented design (OOD). The specifications involve definition and inheritance of classes and methods and use design techniques from the most widely used OOD-language: the Unified Modeling Language (UML)...

Damit serviceorientierte Architekturen (SOAs) ihr Potential voll entfalten können, müssen neben technischen auch methodische und organisatorische Aspekte betrachtet werden. Enterprise Architecture Frameworks (EAFs) ermöglichen die dazu notwendige ganzheitliche Sicht auf das Unternehmen. Einzelne EAFs sind meist zu spezialisiert, um als Framework für die SOA angewendet werden zu können. Das Meta...

In this paper, a novel and unified control approach that combines intelligent fuzzy logic methodology with impulsive control is developed for controlling a class of chaotic systems. We first introduce impulses into each subsystem of T-S fuzzy IF-THEN rules and then present a unified T-S impulsive fuzzy model for chaos control. Based on the new model, a simple and unified set of conditions for c...

Since the Unified Health System creation, managers have been expending efforts to discuss the planning and, made attempts to institutionalize it, considering that it's a basic management component. However, despite advances obtained, there are aspects that are priorities and that constitute challenges for the institutionalization of the planning at the Unified Health System. In this direction, ...
