JavaView is a 3D geometry viewer and a numerical software library written in Java which allows one to publish interactive geometries and mathematical experiments in online web pages. Its numerical software library provides solutions and tools for problems in differential geometry and mathematical visualization. This allows the creation of one’s own geometric experiments, while always profiting ...

BACKGROUND The InChI algorithms are written in C++ and not available as Java library. Integration into software written in Java therefore requires a bridge between C and Java libraries, provided by the Java Native Interface (JNI) technology. RESULTS We here describe how the InChI library is used in the Bioclipse workbench and the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) cheminformatics library. To mak...

Promoting software reuse practice requires more effective support. In this paper we discuss some problems in current software reuse systems and how current research in retrieval through natural language specifications addresses them. We introduce work in progress for a software reuse system that aims to provide high precision in retrieval by processing both queries in natural language and descr...

The Profiles in Science® digital library features digitized surrogates of historical items selected from the archival collections of the U.S. National Library of Medicine as well as collaborating institutions. In addition, it contains a database of descriptive, technical and administrative metadata. It also contains various software components that allow creation of the metadata, management of ...

This paper presents a methodology and small software library which is intended to reduce the impact of transient data errors that may affect the software executing on commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) embedded processors. The methodology involves duplication of data in disparate areas of memory (referred to as “mirror arrays”), and the complexity of the processing required to manage these areas is...

Interprocedural dataflow analysis has a large number of uses for software optimization, maintenance, testing, and verification. For software built with reusable components, the traditional approaches for whole-program analysis cannot be used directly. This paper considers component-level analysis of a main component which is built on top of a pre-existing library component. We propose an approa...

Current parametric parts library cannot contribute to the reuse of finite element model. It is essential to remodel or exchange model for parts in CAE software. This paper presents a synchronous CAD/CAE modeling method, which can be employed in parts library based on Simens NX software. Primary CAD and CAE information in part are merged into master model, which acts as cornerstone for solid mod...

There is an immediate need to develop Grid interfaces for a large set of numerical software libraries, in order to make popular software of today available in the computing infrastructure of tomorrow. As this development work tend to be both tedious and error-prone, this contribution presents a semi-automatic process for generating the interfaces. The underlying principle is to use a front-end ...

Complementary to managing bibliographic information as done by digital libraries, the management of concrete research objects (e.g., experimental workflows, design patterns) is a pre-requisite to foster collaboration and re-use of research results. In this paper we describe the case of the Empirical Software Engineering domain, where researchers use systematic literature reviews (SLRs) to condu...
