COBOLISRE is a sofhvare re-engineering and renovation environment for COBOL systems. I t supports a wide range of features such as system-level analysis and browsing, program-level analysis and browsing, data model recovery, concept recognition, and code segmentation. COBOLISRE is implemented on top of a distributed execution architecture to address issues of multi-user access, performance, and...

We evaluate the parsing technology used by people working in the reengineering industry. We discuss parser generators and complete systems like Yacc, TXL, TAMPR, REFINE, CobolTransformer, COSMOS, and ASF+SDF. We explain the merits and drawbacks of the various techniques. We conclude that current technology may cause problems for the reengineering industry and that modular and/or com-positional ...

Incorporating energy efficiency is nowadays the top priority of building renovation projects. The renovation solutions are normally the result of many combined solutions concerning all components of the building (walls, roofs, windows, doors, HVAC, occupation...) and the final outcome is the sum of these micro solutions. The modeling and simulation of the building thermal behavior can quickly b...

One of the undesired effects of software evolution is the proliferation of unused components, which are not used by any application. As a consequence, the size of binaries and libraries tends to grow and system maintainability tends to decrease. At the same time, a major trend of today s software market is the porting of applications on hand-held devices or, in general, on devices which have a ...

Several authors have successfully created and employed vintage cohorts and housing typologies in research addressing energy renovation needs in the existing dwelling stock. This paper suggests that the idea of types would be useful in creating living quality related renovation and adaptation concepts for homes as well. Such concepts could be used for increasing accessibility and individuality o...

Much attention has been paid to hospitals environments since modern pandemics have emerged. The building sector is considered to be the largest world energy consumer, so many global organizations are attempting to create a sustainable environment in building construction by reducing energy consumption. Therefore, maintaining high standards of hygiene while reducing energy consumption has become...

Pasture renovation entails introduction of desirable forage species, usually legumes such as red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.) or birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), into a grass dominated pasture. A commonly used method of pasture renovation consists in drilling seeds into the grass sod (sod-seeding). Introduced legumes benefit the pasture in three w...
