Conceptual modeling of XML data was made easier with the introduction of the XSEM model, which utilizes the MDA (Modeldriven architecture) ideas of multi-level modeling. XCase is an implementation of this model, enabling users to model their problem domain as a Platform-independent model (PIM), from which Platform-specific models (PSM), XML schemas in our case, can be derived. The main advantag...

Water is unique in its role as a life preserver. It is important to all members of a society. However, if one is looking for quality data in India to make data-driven decisions, one is lost. This is surprising given that there is a rich history of data collection in the country and looks forward to adopting real-time water sensing in a big way. In this paper, we first explore issues around data...

The new era of computing called Cloud Computing allows the user to access the cloud services dynamically over the Internet wherever and whenever needed. Cloud consists of data and resources; and the cloud services include the delivery of software, infrastructure, applications, and storage over the Internet based on user demand through Internet. In short, cloud computing is a business and econom...

Despite the surge of interest in platform cooperatives, we have a limited understanding dynamics worker-member participation these cooperatives. Drawing on interviews with 21 senior leaders and founders worker investigate participation, finding that cooperatives experience some successes many challenges. We then build theory about how four distinct features cooperatives—the facilitation multiho...

Model transformation specifications are currently bound to a specific transformation execution engine, typically executed on desktop systems. This paper presents a novel approach to transform platform-independent model transformation specifications into platform-specific model transformation specifications, which can be executed for example by the runtime systems of process control systems empl...

It is predicted that most computing and data storage will be done by cloud computing in the future. Tendency to use cloud services and changes in IT world to become service-based will be inevitable in future. This leading change toward cloud computing will be a great movement in IT dependent industries. One of the main parts of this variation is the usage of cloud platforms. This method will af...

Cloud computing is a new technology widely studied in recent years. Now there are many cloud platforms both in industry and in academic circle. How to understand and use these platforms is a big issue. A detailed comparison has been presented in this paper focused on the aspects such as the architecture, characteristics, application and so on. To know the differences between open source and clo...

Many model transformation problems require different intermediate transformation steps. For example, platform-specific models (PSM) are often generated from platform-independent models (PIM) by chains of model transformations. This requires the presence of several intermediate meta-models between those of the PIM and the PSM. Thus, most of the effort is needed to define a transformation mechani...

An accurate calibration of inertial measurement unit errors is increasingly important as the inertial navigation system requirements become more stringent. Developing calibration methods that use as less as possible of IMU signals has 6-DOF gimballed IMU in space-stabilized mode is presented. It is considered as held stationary in the test location incorporating 15 di...

Das neue V-Modell® XT [VXT05] bietet ein Vorgehensmodell zur Planung und Durchführung von Systemprojekten des Bundes und der Privatwirtschaft. Es stellt für unterschiedliche Projekttypen speziell angepasste Projektdurchführungsstrategien zur Verfügung, beispielsweise für inkrementelle, komponentenbasierte oder agile Projekte. Das V-Modell XT legt sich allerdings nicht bzgl. der zu verwendenden ...
