Intelligent Environments are able to support ever-changing environmental needs by automatically and dynamically adjusting their key parameters without explicit human intervention. However, the current development of Intelligent Environments primarily focuses on the technical aspects of the physical components, and does not give sufficient consideration to the dynamic interrelationship between p...

As wide-area network is spreading, cooperative software development in wide-area distributed environments is getting common. We are aiming at building a distributed development support system for object-oriented software. Integrated management of various distributed software components and support for cooperative work are necessary for distributed development support. In this paper, we focus on...

Role-based access control can be used to support the real-world access control requirements of a distributed system. This article describes a role model as used in the context of a distributed security infrastructure such as SESAME or OSF/DCE security. It is based on practical experience in the use of roles in real product and shows how role-based access control benefits both the user and the s...

The rotating biological contactor is an attached growth biological treatment used in removal of biodegradable matter present in wastewater is popular due to its simplicity low energy requirement, low land requirement, stable in various shock loading and recirculation not required and low hydraulic retention time. This review paper focuses on various controlling parameter of RBC like organic loa...

This work presents an experience report on the architectural decisions taken in the evolution of a Software Product Line (SPL) of Model-based Testing tools (PLeTs). This SPL was partially designed and developed with the intention of minimizing effort and time-to-market during the development of a family of performance testing tools. With the evolution of our research and the addition of new fea...

In order to progress in the present-day complex and unpredictable environment, the company must feature abilities of quick response and favorably reposition itself on the market. Acquisition and preservation of this capacity is the most difficult step for companies as it involves many endogenous and exogenous factors and the process is continuous, dynamic and hardly predictable. In this context...

BACKGROUND Healthcare providers are considered the primary conduit of compassion in healthcare. Although most healthcare providers desire to provide compassion, and patients and families expect to receive it, an evidence-based understanding of the construct and its associated dimensions from the perspective of healthcare providers is needed. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate...

This paper presents a selected set of concepts of the AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture. Runtime Environment (RTE) and the Virtual Function Bus (VFB) are core parts of the AUTOSAR system design and facilitate relocatability of software components, one of the key features of AUTOSAR. The goal of this paper is to show how the RTE and the VFB work together in order to realizes relocatability and...

We present SIDE1 (the Summarization Integrated Development Environment), which is an infrastructure that facilitates the construction of reporting interfaces that support group learning facilitators in the task of getting a quick sense of the quality and effectiveness of a collaborative learning interaction. The SIDE framework offers flexibility in the specification of which conversational beha...

Modern software development environment is based on developers’ ability to work in parallel on the same codebase and perform concurrent changes, which potentially need to be merged back together. However, state-of-the-art merging systems follow text-based algorithms that focus only on modifications to text but completely ignore the semantic of the code written. This limitation significantly res...
