The lack of information about parkers' behavior in choosing a parking location in the Central Business District makes it difficult to develop an effective parking policy. The purpose of this study is to understand parkers’ behavior in choosing a parking location in the CBD of Surabaya. Three types of parking location choice models were developed, namely Parking Demand Regression Models, Analyti...

A team of civil engineers, architects and computer scientists is using CaseBased Design (CBD) as an approach for integrating preliminary architectural and structural design. This approach focuses on dimensional and topological adaptation of geometric models of existing buildings in order to find solutions for new design problems. An advantage of such an approach is that a case is used in which ...

Component-Based Development (CBD) represents an advanced system development approach, capable for managing complexity and ever-changing demands in the business and IT environment. While many of the component technology solutions have been already settled in practice, of equal importance to their success are the methods and techniques closely aligned with CBD principles. Current methods do not o...

Thin films of silver selenide have been prepared by chemical bath deposition technique at substrate temperature of 300K. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Silver selenide thin films are polycrystalline with orthorhombic structure, confirmed by x-ray diffractogram. The deposition parameters were optimized to obtain good quality thin films. The film d...

This paper presents the procedure for logistics system scenario selection for the central business district (CBD) of the city in the phase of significant urban changes. Scenarios are defined in accordance with the overall logistics concept of the city. Conflicting goals of stakeholders (residents, shippers and receivers, logistics providers and city government) generate a vast number of criteri...

Lighting is an essential tool in surgery. Altering the spectral distribution of the lighting can heighten visual contrast between anatomical features of interest and the surrounding tissues. Due to the difficulty in assessing lighting spectral distributions on surgical scenes, we use image segmentation algorithm as a means of testing the relative merits of model spectral distribution for surgic...

To support commercial-strength web development it is as important to utilize a process as it is in regular, non-web information systems development. Using an established OO/CBD development process (OPEN), we evaluate its efficacy in web development support and propose new and amended Activities and Tasks that should be included in OPEN in order to fully support the new demands of website constr...

Plant kinesin-like calmodulin-binding protein (KCBP) is a novel member of the kinesin superfamily that interacts with calmodulin (CaM) via its CaM-binding domain (CBD). Activated CaM (Ca -CaM) has been shown to inhibit KCBP interaction with microtubules (MTs) thereby abolishing its motorand MT-dependent ATPase activities. To test whether the fusion of CBD to non-CaM-binding kinesins confers Ca ...

Component-Based Development (CBD) is revolutionizing the process of building applications by assembling pre-built reusable components. Components should be designed more for inter-organizational reuse, rather than intra-organization reuse through domain analysis which captures the commonality of the target domain. Moreover, the minor variations within the commonality should also be modeled and ...

System dynamics and agent-based modeling are two approaches used in simulation experiments. In this paper, we implement a system dynamics model for infectious diseases (SIR model) using Causal Block Diagrams (CBD) and develop an agent-based model based on statecharts. Our agent-based modeling approach produces similar results to the system dynamics approach. We discuss in detail how this simila...
