The Ada 2005 standard features support for run-time profiles, flexible taskdispatching policies, execution-time clocks and timers, and a unification of concurrency and object-oriented features. Among these new facilities, one of the most significant is the standardization of the Ravenscar tasking profile. This subset of Ada tasking features embodies a deterministic concurrency model inherently ...

This chapter presents a tool for knowledge acquisition for user profiling in electronic commerce. The knowledge acquisition in e-commerce is a challenging task that requires specific tools in order to facilitate the knowledge transfer from the user to the system. The proposed tool is based on a hierarchical user model and is agent-based. The architecture of the tool incorporates four software a...

Transformations are key artifacts in the MDD (Model Driven Development) approach: a software development project can be defined through a transformation chain converting source models into target models until code, enabling development process automation. Transformations can be complex and demand software processes, languages and techniques to improve their development in order to increase reus...

The paper deals with the problem of testing computer system’s susceptibility to hardware faults by means of software implemented fault injectors. Basing on our experience with fault injection techniques we present various strategies of fault stressing in relevance to fault impact analysis in the function of the application input data profile, fault injection profile in time and space, resource ...

Reliability is always important in all systems but sometimes it is more important than other quality attributes, especially in mission critical systems where the severity of consequence resulting from failure is very high. Software reliability engineering is focused on comprehensive techniques for developing reliable software and for proper assessment and improvement of reliability. Reliability...

This paper presents an approach to model and to implement mobile agents. This approach is materialized by a UML profile, called MA-UML for modeling mobile agents, and a software development environment that assists the specification, design and implementation stages of the agent system development lifecycle, called MAMT. The MAMT environment provides support for modeling multi-agent systems by ...

Drawing both from the IS literature on software project risk management and the contingency research in Organization Theory literature, the present study develops an integrative contingency model of software project risk management. Adopting a profile deviation perspective of fit, the outcome of a software development project (Performance) is hypothesized to be influenced by the fit between the...

1 P.G. Student 1 A.D Patel Institute of Technology, Vallabh Vidhyanagar, India Abstract— The trochoidal drives are widely used in the industry for the constant flow requirements. The design of the lobe profile for positive displacement internal lobe pump (Gerotor) requires MATLAB, Auto-CAD, Solidworks and MasterCAM software. The main objective behind this development of epitrochoid lobe rotor i...

In this paper, multi-objective optimization of railway wheel web profile using bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) algorithm is investigated. Using a finite element software, static analysis of the wheel based on a standard load case, and its modal analysis for finding the fundamental natural frequency is performed. The von Mises stress and critical frequency as the proble...
