Principal among the technical obstacles when using the grid environment is usability. Owing to the inherently complex, programs in grid will reflect some of the complexity. To make grid resources useful and accessible effectively to the users, as we think, it requires new software or environment to build and program applications. The goal of the user programming environment of Vega Grid is to s...

Process improvements provide a structured approach for an organisation to improve the way they operate. A number of process improvement methodologies such as ISO9000, TQM, Six Sigma, Lean, and Agile have been proposed over the last few decades and subsequently software tools have been developed to apply these methodologies. However, the determination of process capabilities to measure improveme...

This paper presents a novel desktop virtual reality model titled Virtual Electrical Services (VES), developed to enhance electrical safety and design in the built environment. The model developed using Quest3D has the potential to be used as an industry design tool or as an educational tool for third level students and represents a significant watershed in how electrical services engineers can ...

Although quality function deployment (QFD) is mostly used in the development of new products, the methodology is equally varied and applied as a packaging design/development tool. Since the demands of the market, i.e. users are constantly changing, the designers of all products, including packaging food designers must implement the introduced requirements into the design of their products. The ...

This paper presents a useful software tool for projects with multi PicoBlaze microprocessors implemented in FPGA circuits. Application presented in this paper which use for software development PicoBlaze SDK tool is an Automatic Packet Report System (APRS), with three PicoBlaze microprocessors implemented in FPGA circuit.

Program source is an intermediate representation of software; it lies between between a developer’s intention, and the hardware’s execution. Despite advances in languages and development tools, source itself and the applications we use to view it remain an essentially static representation of software, from which developers can spend considerable energy postulating actual behaviour. Emerging te...

The paper considers enterprise content management (ECM) issues in global heterogeneous distributed computational environment. Present-day enterprises have accumulated a huge data burden. Manipulating with such a bulk becomes an essential problem, particularly due to its global distribution, heterogeneous and weak-structured character. The conceptual approach to integrated ECM lifecycle support ...

Due to the real time nature of computer games, the main concerns of game developers have been related to efficiency of algorithm execution and visual presentation, instead of code reusability and maintenance. In order to support these concerns, game developers usually have been implementing all the required functionality to build a game, from scratch, in new projects. However, the complexity in...

Use of software tools to support business processes is both a possibility and necessity for both large and small enterprises of today. Given the variety of tools on the market, the question of how to choose the right tools for the process in question or analyze the suitability of the tools already employed arises. The paper presents an experience report of using a high-level business process mo...
