concepts, focus on nonpractical entertainment, or rely on decontextualized settings. BlockPy, a webbased, open access Python programming environment, supports introductory programmers in a data-science context through a dual block/text programming view. A s computing becomes pervasive across all fields, professionals increasingly need to learn computing skills in addition to their core domain k...

The paper is devoted to the development of a non overlapping Domain Decomposition method adapted to granular dynamics. The formulation and the efficiency of such a method are well established for structural mechanics. In order to extend this approach to granular systems a so-called primal splitting of the domain is chosen because it is a less intrusive method for software development. Once the ...

The world of system development methods is changing as rigorous ‘off-the-shelf’ methods become more popular. The need for configuration of such methods in a structured way is increasing accordingly. In this paper, method configuration is considered as a particular kind of method engineering focusing on adaptation of a base method. We propose a method configuration process based on the concepts ...

Improving the quality of military operations is a driving force for many of the advances in soft and hard technology development. Examples are the development of the aircraft, nuclear power, computer, semiconductor, internet and the space communication and earth observing industries (Ruttan, 2006). Military operations both help develop new industries and also benefit from these industries. Rece...
