Most hypermedia systems have been developed as a unique and self-contained application preventing information interchange and code reusability between applications. To address this problem, a generic layered architecture for hypermedia systems with four major interfaces is first introduced. The architecture adequately uses the MHEG proposal to provide the desired independence between hypermedia...

This chapter presents ParadisEO-MOEO, a white-box object-oriented software framework dedicated to the flexible design of metaheuristics for multi-objective optimization. This paradigm-free software proposes a unified view for major evolutionary multi-objective metaheuristics. It embeds some features and techniques for multi-objective resolution and aims to provide a set of classes allowing to e...

Content assist systems and code completion are nicely accessible in integrated development environments (IDEs). Using multiple data sources and performing sophisticated completion in several editors is quite common. However, no such supporting system exists for modeling environments, e.g., a completion mechanism in class diagrams is only existent for textual items like names, if at all. We desi...

Background: The emotion dysregulation model by Mennin and Fresco considers the high comorbidity of generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder and pays special attention to their comorbidity. Additionally, due to the high comorbidity of social anxiety disorder as well as anxiety and mood disorders, this disorder was considered along with the last two disorders. This study aimed t...

Visualizations may be used to assist in learning elementary computer programming— a skill that is hard to acquire by many students. This article presents a program animation system, PlanAni, that is based on the concept of the roles of variables. Roles represent schematic uses of variables that occur in programs over and over again, and a set of nine roles covers practically all variables in no...

Conceptual modelling is an important aspect in designing systems. However, the use of conceptual models in knowledge-based system (KBS) is limited as there is no particular consensus on which modelling language should be used and most of these systems are developed in a 'problem to code' manner. This paper focuses on the use ofa Unified Modeling Language (UML) Profile for conceptual knowledge m...

Conceptual modeling has proved effective in the rationalization of the upper part of the software lifecycle, thanks to the platformindependent specification of requirements and of design schemes and to the support of automatic code generation. This paper presents an approach and a toolset for exploiting the benefits of conceptual modeling also in the quality evaluation tasks that take place bot...

Today’s competition is promoted from firm against firm to supply chain versus supply chain, globalization and competition is a common phenomenon so each organization should make its supply chain as a weapon against the others, in doing so this paper presented a conceptual, graphical, step by step methodology to construct supply chain strategies by integrating strategic management’s ...

The article is drafted from the perspective of the marketing manager who must minimize carrying costs of a salesperson that share multiple products. We have tackled this simulation problem using a Hamiltonian cycle associated to transport network conceptual reduced to a graph. Identification of optimal solution was achieved through the implementation of Branch and Bound heuristic algorithm in t...
