the sirri jacket offshore platform was designed and installed in persian gulf of iran in 1975 and has been in service since that time. the importance of offshore structure's stability and the failure of this kind of structure during an earthquake in different active zones revealed that earthquake loading has to be considered. in this paper, magnetorheological (mr) fluid dampers have been propos...

the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of platform switching on stress distribution of two different implant systems using three-dimensional (3d) finite element models.six 3d finite element models were created to replicate two different implant systems with peri-implant bone tissue, in which six different implant-abutment configurations were represented: model xive-a: 3.8-mm-d...

This paper introduces how to apply OMG’s Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) to develop a cross-platform workflow solution. A workflow solution first is modeled as a PIM Platform Independent Model model. The PIM model will be translated into a PSM (Platform Specific Model) model according to the selected workflow platform and then the corresponding process definition is automatically generated. I...

In this paper, we examined an effective business model for the ecosystem of Islamic FinTech for Resalat Islamic Bank. The article discussed three phases of Resalat Bank development as a Platform in formulating social business models that require new value propositions, value constellations, and profit equations, and as such, resembles business model innovation. The result of the qualitative met...

This study presented a transformation approach of Model Driven Architecture for 3-tiered applications. Mapping rules from computation independent model to platform independent model and from platform independent model to platform specific model were developed. This approach was demonstrated using an on-line bookshop application. With this approach, the weak link of Model Driven Architecture, tr...

Model transformation specifications are currently bound to a specific transformation execution engine, typically executed on desktop systems. This paper presents a novel approach to transform platform-independent model transformation specifications into platform-specific model transformation specifications, which can be executed for example by the runtime systems of process control systems empl...

Many model transformation problems require different intermediate transformation steps. For example, platform-specific models (PSM) are often generated from platform-independent models (PIM) by chains of model transformations. This requires the presence of several intermediate meta-models between those of the PIM and the PSM. Thus, most of the effort is needed to define a transformation mechani...

Das neue V-Modell® XT [VXT05] bietet ein Vorgehensmodell zur Planung und Durchführung von Systemprojekten des Bundes und der Privatwirtschaft. Es stellt für unterschiedliche Projekttypen speziell angepasste Projektdurchführungsstrategien zur Verfügung, beispielsweise für inkrementelle, komponentenbasierte oder agile Projekte. Das V-Modell XT legt sich allerdings nicht bzgl. der zu verwendenden ...

This paper studies syntax and semantics of the Entity-Relationship (ER) and Relational data model and their transformation. The ER model may be regarded as a platform independent model and the Relational model as a prototypical platform specific model. The paper studies the transformation between these models and proposes to express that transformation again as a model.
