Software development is a constant endeavor to optimize qualities like performance and robustness while ensuring functional correctness. Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) form a foundation for modeling and analyzing functional and non-functional properties of software systems, but, short of programming, only the simulation of those models can ensure certain desired qualities and functio...

flexibility as an ability to respond to changing circumstances is one of the vital characteristics of the natural and built environment. during the contemporary era, diversity of methods relating the architectural flexibility execution are suggested. but along with contemporary conceptual approaches toward pluralism and uncertainty, it seems that the multiplicity of approaches toward flexibilit...

This work presents a procedural content generation system that uses an evolutionary algorithm in order to generate interesting maps for a real-time strategy game, called Planet Wars. Interestingness is here captured by the dynamism of games (i.e., the extent to which they are action-packed). We consider two different approaches to measure the dynamism of the games resulting from these generated...

Sensor Web researchers are currently investigating middleware to aid in the dynamic discovery, integration and analysis of vast quantities of both high and low quality, but distributed and heterogeneous earth observation data. Key challenges being investigated include dynamic data integration and analysis, service discovery and semantic interoperability. However, few efforts deal with managing ...

Dynamism was originally defined as the proportion of online versus offline orders in the literature on dynamic logistics. Such a definition however, loses meaning when considering purely dynamic problems where all customer requests arrive dynamically. Existing measures of dynamism are limited to either (1) measuring the proportion of online versus offline orders or (2) measuring urgency, a conc...

We describe the voice quality classification system that uses entropy and dynamism criteria as discrimination features. The main idea of this approach is that the input neural net is considered as an informational channel. Channel tuned to the certain type of information transmits it best of all according to the informational criterion. In our case a multilayer perceptron (MLP) emitted posterio...

We present in this article a new logical system inspired from linear logic. This system is designed in order to express causality and dynamism. The cut elimination theorem holds for this logic. Examples of applications are given.

OF THE DISSERTATION A Multiobjective Approach for Addressing Dynamism and Heterogeneity in Parallel Scientific Simulations by SUMIR CHANDRA Dissertation Director: Professor Manish Parashar Scientific simulations offer the potential for accurate solutions of realistic models of complex physical phenomena. These simulations are based on systems of partial differential equations and are playing an...
