This paper describes PATT, a project assessment and tracking tool, created with the purpose of processing software metrics in order to provide managers with development information on software projects. Based on international software standards, including CMMI, ISO/IEC 9126 and ISO/IEC 15939, it collects metrics from projects artifacts, analyzes them, and spend efforts on calculating overall de...

Topic Maps, ISO/IEC 13250 standard, are designed to facilitate the organization and navigation of large collections of information objects by creating meta-level perspectives of their underlying concepts and relationships. The underlying structure of concepts and relations is expressed by domain ontologies. The Topics Maps technology can become the core of an e-learning portal that will integra...

This paper presents the views of four Thai government organizations who had been awarded ISO/ IEC 29110 Basic Profile Certification. Team ideas as to the success factors and barriers involved in implementations are explored. In-depth interviews with closedand open-ended questions were conducted.

There are several similarities between Nandinagari and Devanagari in terms of character repertoire, glyphic representation, and structure (see the comparison in table 1). However, Nandinagari differs fromDevanagari in the shapes of character glyphs, the lack of a connecting headline, and, particularly, in the rendering of consonant conjuncts (see figures 14–18; note the shapes of kṣa and jña, a...

The concept of a power curve is introduced, as well as the principles of the power conversion performed by a wind turbine. As an appropriate approach for the estimation of the annual power production of a wind turbine, the procedure to determine the power curve after the international standard IEC 61400 of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is discussed. As another approach is ...

Currently, Systems-of-Systems (SoS) have performed an important role in diverse application domains, with representative examples in airport, military, and smart-cities, including crisis/emergency management. SoS refer to complex software-intensive systems, resulted from interoperability of independent constituent systems, performing new missions that could not be performed by any constituents ...

This technical report (TR) is an optional part of the International Standard for Prolog, ISO/IEC 13211. Prolog manufacturers wishing to implement Definite Clause Grammar rules in a portable way should do so in compliance with this technical report. Grammar rules provide convenient functionality for parsing and processing text in a variety of languages. They have been implemented in many Prolog ...

There are three major historical varieties of Limbu, which may be labeled using the names of the individuals to whom their development is attributed: Śirijaṅgā, Cemajoṅ, and Subba. The Limbu script encoded in the UCS is based largely upon the script reformed by B. B. Subba in the 1970s. This version is adequate for writing contemporary Limbu, but is missing some letters found in the repertoires...

The assumption in documents N3095 and N3113 seems to be that a proposed alignment of the text in clause 26.1 of 10646 with Unicode would be the reflection of a new misunderstanding. However, the Unicode specification, including the canonical decomposition of Hangul precomposed syllable characters have been fixed for many years now. Indeed, the decompositions and equivalences are now stabilised ...
