The eld of reuse in software engineering is large, and a great diversity of approaches claim to be based on a reuse technology. Despite the great diversity of approaches , some general ideas can be identiied that all the approaches have in common. These mainly concern the representation of the components and the data that is manipulated by the components. In this paper we identify and analyse a...

TinyOS is a useful resource for developers of sensor networks. The operating system includes ready-made software components that enable rapid generation of complex software architectures. In this paper we describe the lessons gained from programming with the TinyOS communication library. In particular, we try to rationalize existing functionalities, and we present our solutions in the form of a...

This paper is a presentation of symbolic analysis of switched currents (SI) circuits by software for analysis of switched capacitors (SC) circuits – SCSYRUP. It is a special library of functions for MAPLE software which allows the symbolic analysis of switched circuits. An example of an SI circuit analysis by means of this library is presented in this paper.

New software based on explicit Runge-Kutta formulas have been developed to replace well-established, widely-used codes written by the authors (RKF45 and its successors in the SLATEC Library and the NAG Fortran 77 Library Runge-Kutta codes). The new software has greater functionality than its predecessors. Also, it is more eecient, more robust and better documented.

GDAGsim is a software library which can be used to carry out conditional sampling of linear Gaussian directed acyclic graph models, and hence can be used for the implementation of efficient block MCMC samplers for such models. This paper examines the software library and its design, and how it can be applied to problems in Bayesian inference.

Software development is quickly becoming more of a process of acquiring software components and composing them than building systems from scratch. From a time-to-market perspective, this is ideal, but from a quality perspective, this is worrisome. This paper addresses steps that component integrators should follow before relying on someone else’s software libraries and components.

A system for creating a library of tandem mass spectra annotated with corresponding peptide sequences was described. This system was based on the annotated spectra currently available in the Global Proteome Machine Database (GPMDB). The library spectra were created by averaging together spectra that were annotated with the same peptide sequence, sequence modifications, and parent ion charge. Th...

This paper describes the widely-used ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project as it stands today. ATLAS is an instantiation of a paradigm in high performance library production and maintenance, which we term AEOS (Automated Empirical Optimization of Software); this style of library management has been created in order to allow software to keep pace with the incredible rate of...

Software visualisation employs various representations of software to help programmers better understand program code. However, there are many technologies that can be used to deliver software visualisations. These different software visualisation media have varying capabilities, and determining which medium is best suited for a particular software visualisation application can be a complex tas...
