Process diagrams as a means to visualize or model dynamic aspects (e.g. work practices or business processes) of an organization can be considered a common practice in modern organizations. While shape and orientation of graphical elements in process diagrams are largely prescribed by the modeling notation (and the implementation of this standard in the software tool) the actual color, texture,...

For music signal processing, compared with the strategy which models each short-time frame independently, when the long-time features are considered, the time-series characteristics of the music signal can be better presented. As a typical kind of long-time modeling strategy, the identification vector (i-vector) uses statistical modeling to model the audio signal in the segment level. It can be...

Presentation modeling, which captures the layout of an HTML page, is a very important aspect of modeling Web Applications (WAs). However, presentation modeling is often neglected during forward engineering of Web Applications; therefore, most of these applications are poorly modeled or not modeled at all. This paper discusses the design, implementation, and evaluation of a reverse engineering t...

Identification and annotation of all the functional elements in the genome, including genes and regulatory sequences, is a fundamental challenge in genomics and computational biology. Since regulatory elements are often short and variable, their identification and discovery using computational algorithms is difficult. However, significant advances have been made in the computational methods for...

During the last ten years a lot of concepts have emerged from software engineering. Most of them try to formalize and organize software engineering knowledge at a higher level of abstraction, giving code a secondary role. Model Driven Architecture (MDA), putting the concept of the model on the critical path of software development, is about to change this situation, turning the role of models f...

The concepts of the experimental design system that are discussed are feature modeling and geometrical constraints. The main technique for creating the user environment is Virtual Reality. Feature modeling forms the basis for managing the design data. To start with, data storage is implemented in a Relational Data Base Management System. Along with this a (traditional) interface is developed fo...

Modeling approaches often are not adapted to human reasoning: models are ambiguous and imprecise. A same model element may have multiple meanings in different functional roles of a system. Existing modeling approaches do not relate explicitly these functional roles with model elements. A principle that can solve this problem is that model elements should be defined in a context. We believe that...

How can we integrate interrelated theories of individual elements of cognition? Computational models of reasoning processes encode an understanding of reasoning. Consequently, a computational modeling language may be ideally suited to the presentation of theories of cognition. By representing theories of a variety of phenomena in a single modeling language, we can potentially explore how these ...
