Software systems are often designed without considering their social intentionality and the software process changes required to accommodate them. With the rise of artificial intelligence and cognitive services-based systems, software can no longer be considered a passive participant in a domain. Structured and methodological approaches are required to study the intentions and motives of such s...

quality of people's wayfinding in an unknown and complicated environment is a challenging issue which has engaged many researchers since the 70s till the present time. cognitive and environmental researchers believe that ability of people in perception of the environment and wayfinding are different from each other. now, how can the environment of a building meet the various needs of all i...

Designing, analyzing and managing complex processes are recently become crucial issues in most application contexts, such as ecommerce, business process (re-)engineering, Web/grid computing. In this paper, we propose a framework that supports the designer in the definition and in the analysis of complex processes by means of several facilities for reusing, customizing and generalizing existent ...

Automatic Summarization is probably crucial with the increase of document generation. Particularly when retrieving, managing and processing information have become decisive tasks. However, one should not expect perfect systems able to substitute human summaries. The automatic summarization process strongly depends not only on the characteristics of the documents, but also on user different need...

this research is going to explore methods of utilizing nature in architecture and use them to evaluate naturalism of the samples of iranian contemporary architecture, both qualitatively and quantitatively. the use of various aspects of the nature in iranian contemporary architecture is less than the past. so the main questions in this research are: “which methods of utilizing nature have influe...

Mass customization is becoming an important agenda in industry and academia alike. This paper deals with mass customization from a product development perspective. A framework of design for mass customization (DFMC) by developing product family architecture (PFA) is presented. To deal with tradeoffs between diversity of customer requirements and reusability of design and process capabilities, D...

in north of iran, a style of architecture has formed over time which is specific to the culture and the weather conditions of that region. this style of architecture is the result of the extrovert nature of the locals and is deeply rooted in islam as well as the persian civilization. sagha nefar is a type of nefar which takes its name from hazrat abolfazl, the half-brother of the imam of shia f...

The benefits of cloud computing approaches are well known but designing logical architectures for that context can be complicated. Prior to designing a logical architecture, a proper requirements elicitation must be executed. When requirements are not properly elicited, and there are insufficient inputs for a product approach to requirements elicitation, a process-level perspective is an altern...
