Two observations in the matter of pictorial as well as formal presentation of some consistency in distributed shared memory are made. The first concerns geometric transformation of line segments and points picturing read/write operations, the second converting partial order of the operations into linear order of their initiations and terminations. This allows to reduce serialization of the read...

background: municipal solid waste (msw) is the natural result of human activities. msw generation modeling is of prime im­portance in designing and programming municipal solid waste management system. this study tests the short-term pre­diction of waste generation by artificial neural network (ann) and principal component-regression analysis. methods: two forecasting techniques are presented in...

One of Software Engineering’s main goals is to build complex applications in a simple way. For that, software components must be described by its functional and non-functional properties. Then, the problem is to know which component satisfies a specific need in a specific composition context, during software conception or maintenance. We state that this is a substitution problem in any of the t...

This paper presents an active, cooperative transaction model for shared databases which supports the collaboration of users and user groups in product design. The described cooperative transaction model is a component of an active database system that potentially represents all information needed during the product development process. The rules of this active database system are used for autom...
