The routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) problem in elastic optical networks (EON) is to first find a path for connection request then allocate frequency slot it. Due continuity contiguity constraints, some available slots cannot be allocated requests. In this case, one solution reassign existing connections accept new ones. However, most current reallocation schemes are proposed unprotected c...

Finding defects early in a software system is crucial task, as it creates adequate time for fixing such using available resources. Strategies symmetric testing have proven useful; however, its inability differentiating incorrect implementations from correct ones drawback. Software defect prediction (SDP) another feasible method that can be used detecting early. Additionally, high dimensionality...

This paper discusses the implementation of a distributed geometry for parallel mesh generation, involving dynamic load-balancing and hence dynamic re-partitioning of the geometry. A novel approach is described for improving the efficiency of the distributed geometry interface when dealing with irregular shaped mesh partitions.

This paper describes a composition mechanism for the dynamic hyperslices model outlined in [1]. This mechanism composes primary concerns, directly aligned with requirements and designs (decomposed in accordance with the Hyperspaces approach), maintaining each concern unchanged as a first class entity all through its lifetime. Consequently this mechanism allows for dynamic change and re-configur...
