Reusing existing software solutions as initial point for new projects is a frequent approach in software business. Copying existing code and adapting it to customer-specific needs allows for flexible and efficient software customization in the short term. But in the long term, a Software Product Line (SPL) approach with a single code base and explicitly managed variability reduces maintenance e...

INTRODUCTION Concise visualization is critical to present large amounts of information in a minimal space that can be interpreted quickly. Clinical applications in precision medicine present an important use case due to the time dependent nature of the interpretations, although visualization is increasingly necessary across the life sciences. In this paper we describe the Lollipops software for...

A component of the software that controls traffic lights usually is devoted only to monitoring the state of the traffic junction, to assess its safety, and to take appropriate action if an unsafe state occurs. That component, the safety controller, should be reusable for many traffic junctions. We present the specification of such a safety controller in the specification language SZ, which comb...

Software architecture and design are usually modeled and represented by informal diagrams, such as architecture diagrams and UML diagrams. While these graphic notations are easy to understand and are convenient to use, they are not amendable to automated verification and transformation. This paper provides graph grammars for architecture and UML class diagrams. These grammars enable a high leve...

Verbal fluency test is a useful method to evaluate cognitive executive functions. Studies have shown that both types of verbal fluency test (phonemic and semantic) are influenced by brain damage. This test is rarely used by clinicians because it takes too much time to perform. Therefore, we decided to increase its speed and accuracy by designing a verbal fluency test application in Persian lang...

Although the GUI is the most prominent part of a software system, GUI design, particularly GUI layout, i.e. dimensioning and arranging screen elements within a screen, is somewhat neglected by software development. While the interactional parts of user interfaces can be modeled using existing UML diagrams and elements, GUI layout cannot. Additionally, the work of graphic designers and its resul...

Methods for teaching contemporary makeup design involve drawing on paper, which requires considerable time and is difficult to edit. To change the color, one must redraw their entire again, both inefficient not environmentally friendly. Furthermore, drawings are preserve. However, computer graphic has been used in of drawing; instead, learners rely knowledge from professors experience they accu...

Packet Tracer (PT) is an official Cisco software simulator for exercising Cisco network equipment. Graphical Network Simulator (GNS3) is a free emulator software which allows running actual networking software images on a computer. Both provide good Graphic User Interface (GUI) design and have been intensively used for learners to build, configure, and troubleshoot networks in a virtualized net...
