Package Fingerprints: A visual summary of package interface usage

Package Fingerprints: A visual summary of package interface usage

Context: Object-oriented languages such as Java, Smalltalk, and C++ structure their programs using packages. Maintainers of large systems need to understand how packages relate to each other, but this task is complex because packages often have multiple clients and play different roles (class container, code ownership. . . ). Several approaches have been proposed, among which the use of cohesio...

Collaborative Package-based Ontology Building and Usage

With the increased complexity of ontologies, building and using large-scale ontologies require cooperative and scalable mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a modular ontology approach for such challenge. A large ontology has multiple smaller modules called packages, which are sets of highly related terms and term relations; packages can be nested in other packages, forming a package hierarchy...

Effectiveness of a Combined Training Package on Strengthening Visual Perceptual Skills in Preschool Children

Objectives: Paper and pencil exercises are extensively used to enhance children’s visual perceptual skills, while exercises involving volumetric shapes have been neglected. The present study aimed to develop a combined training package, including volumetric shapes and paper and pencil exercises, and to investigate its effectiveness in strengthening the visual perceptual skills of preschool chil...
