This paper demonstrates an application of Conceptual Graphs (CGs) in the area of software engineering. We employ CGs as a meta-representation language to enhance consistency checking within a multiperspective development environment, i.e. one which employs and utilises a number of ViewPoints. We have built a ViewPoint-based prototype called the √iewer+CG to show such application of CGs. A ViewP...

In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient method to integrate the multi-view panoramic range data using the global features acquired from panorama range data. In our approach, the planes with similar normal vectors are handled as one group, and multiple plane groups are extracted from the multi-view panoramic range data. Next, the transformation ( r e tation and translation) parameters b...

Viewpoints concept could be considered one of the major concepts introduced in the software engineering domain in order to enhance the architectural organization of complex systems by separating its concerns. Despite his ultimate importance, this concept must be evolved and hierarchized in order to allow the jump of software architectures field from its current range of complexity coverage and ...

We propose a novel algorithm to synchronize video recording the same scene from different viewpoints. Our method relies on correlating space-time interest point distribution in time between videos. Space-time interest points represent events in video that have high variation in both space and time. These events are unique in time and may pronounce themselves in videos from different viewpoints....

Co-operative development of distributed software systems involves to address the multiple perspectives problem: many stakeholders with diverse domain knowledge and differing development strategies collaborate to construct heterogeneous development artifacts using different representation schemes. The ViewPoints framework has been developed for organizing multiple stakeholders, the development p...

The development of mechatronic products involves multiple stakeholders which have different viewpoints and therefore use different concepts, models and tools to deal with their concerns of interest. This paper argues that an increased emphasis needs to be placed on the relations between viewpoints to be able to deal with the evolving scope and requirements on mechatronic products. We study rela...
