Styling design is becoming a crucial mark for the success of consumer goods on the global market. Computer Aided Styling (CAS) and Computer Aided Aesthetic Design (CAAD), but also manual work on physical models are the methods for creating optimal aesthetic shapes. The BriteEuRam project FIORES covering 12 partners including automotive companies, styling companies, system suppliers, and researc...

Architectural description languages are a useful tool for modeling complex software systems at a high level of abstraction. If based on formal methods, they can also serve for enabling the early verification of various properties such as component coordination and for guiding the synthesis of code correct by construction. This is the case with process algebraic architectural description languag...

the present article is intended to analyze the status of architectural education during two periodsbefore and after cultural revolution in iran and in order to interpret approaches and paradigms, methods, and way of itsdevelopment thereby, it deals with criticism of current situation in the field of architectural education. for this purpose,it has been tried to separate different fields of quan...

Architectural description languages are a useful tool for modeling complex software systems at a high level of abstraction and, if based on formal methods, for enabling the early verification of various properties among which correct component coordination. This is the case with process algebraic architectural description languages, as they have been equipped with several techniques for verifyi...

For long-lived systems, there is a need to address evolvability (i.e. a system’s ability to easily accommodate changes) explicitly during the entire lifecycle. In this report, we undertake a systematic review to obtain an overview of the existing studies in promoting software evolvability at architectural level. The search strategy identified 3036 studies, of which 54 were catalogued as primary...

Software architecture research has yielded a variety of powerful techniques for assisting in the design, implementation, and long-term evolution of complex, heterogeneous, distributed , multiuser applications. Since software development environments are themselves applications with these characteristics , it is natural to examine the effectiveness of an architectural approach to constructing an...

We present an algorithm for the automatic interpretation of a rough architectural sketch as a consistent 3D digital model. We compare our results to the designer’s intended geometry. We further validate the algorithm by studying the variations in possible interpretations made by other humans for a set of relatively ambiguous sketches. In our system, the user sketches an architectural design by ...

As system complexity grows, cycle-accurate simulation experiments become inordinately time consuming. Most approaches to accelerating architectural simulation model only portions of an application in detail. Detailed simulation begins with architectural state from earlier portions of the execution. Constructing this requires fast-forwarding: modeling effects of earlier instructions without mode...

The move towards Network Enabled Capability (NEC) by the UK Ministry of Defence is designed to achieve enhanced military effect through the networking and coherent integration of existing and future resources including sensors, weapon systems, and decision makers to achieve a more flexible and responsive military. This paper addresses the existing reliability and sustainability issues of large-...
