Software solution to design energy-efficient retrofitting projects at district scale

Synthesis, Design and Retrofitting of Energy Efficient Separation Processes

A new methodology for the synthesis, design and retrofitting of energy efficient separation processes that is based on the concept of shortest separation lines is presented. The basic theory of shortest distillation lines, formulated as a nonlinear programming problem, is given. Two examples are presented that show that energy efficient separations correspond to shortest stripping lines – even ...

Refactoring and Retrofitting Design Patterns in Java Software Product Lines

A centerpiece of modern software development is refactoring. Software Product Lines (SPLs), a major software development paradigm, lack tools to refactor Java SPL codebases. X15 introduces our new set of design guidelines, techniques, and language constructs to (1) express feature-based Java SPLs using only Java custom annotations, (2) view programs of the SPL, (3) edit views, automatically pro...

model to selecting contractors in software projects

organizations in private and public sector assign many projects in information technology (particularly software) field to contractors for implementation every year. previous experiences shows that most of these projects are stopped before finishing or cannot meet the expected results. based on studies related to this issue, many of failures depend on implementation contractor, directly or indi...

Exploiting Open-source Projects to Study Software Design

This article presents an approach to using open-source tools and open-source projects to add realistic and practical examples to a course on software design in a professional master’s program of software engineering. Students are encouraged to use object-oriented, open-source software projects available on the Internet, and to analyze their design attributes using open-source tools, to hopefull...
