This paper describes a case study of how a game project using the XNA Game Studio was implemented in a software architecture course. In previous years, a main part of the software architecture course was a software development project where the students were to design the software architecture and implement a robot controller in Java. The robot controller was chosen for the project, as there ex...

The process of creating effective educational materials that fully utilize electronic media can be greatly improved. The goal of using instructional technology is, of course, to provide students with better quality educational experiences. Among other things, this means that educational materials should be provided in a way that matches the individual student’s learning style, in a variety of s...

This article presents the basic design course applications based on education of first-year interior architecture students. study aims to emphasize importance in design-oriented thinking process with practice through content course. Within scope study, art-based research was carried out and intersections its results are described. In studio, elements principles were conveyed techniques commonly...

Data discretization, also known as binning, is a frequently used technique in computer science, statistics, and their applications to biological data analysis. We present a new method for the discretization of real-valued time courses of data into a finite number of discrete values. It is specifically designed for discrete modeling methods using such data. Novel aspects are the incorporation of...

In this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. The engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. Current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. The difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

The writing of Iranian architectural history has, from its start, followed the principles of western historiography. Portions of this history are well expected to be neglected or unattended when writing of it takes place outside its intellectual framework that essentially reflects the Iranian throught world. To have a truly Iranian architectural historiography, one has to find the theoretical p...

“Professional Guiding Standards for Advanced Education Architecture in University Undergraduate Students” (2013 edition) indicates that the education system of architecture should include a section on “environment and site.” It involve six learning components which are concepts site environment, terrain classifications, environment two tendencies, elements involved sites, environmental impact, ...

Islam is regarded to pay attention to the characteristics of urban life which can be practiced on the urban settings. Not surprisingly, Islam has made a great focus on the form and design of cities and prescribed detailed and elaborate regulations for individual and communal life. Seen from other way round, the penetration of Islam into various regions such as Iran, Europe, and Africa had an un...
