From analysis these objects, model medical unit performing therapeutic care function emerges, taking into account needs belonging, respect self-fulfillment patients. Its program includ...

While recent advances in computing/communications technology have enabled the development and managed evolution of large scale system of systems (SoS) applications, lessons learned from industry indicate that these projects are not always successful. A key problem is the lack of a formal framework from which the development and management of SoS architectures can be studied. This paper describe...

We propose a monitoring mechanism for recording the evolution of systems after certain computations, maintaining the history in a tree-like structure. Technically, we develop the monitoring mechanism in a variant of ADR (after Architectural Design Rewriting), a rule-based formal framework for modelling the evolution of architectures of systems. The hierarchical nature of ADR allows us to take f...

Few existing approaches towards architectural evolution deal with unanticipated evolution. This is an important restriction, since a lot of architectural changes are very di cult to anticipate. The reuse contract formalism has been designed speci cally to deal with unanticipated software evolution, and has already proven its practical use in di erent domains. We claim that the reuse contract ap...

This article reports on three case studies that explore the person-place relationships that occur on an ecoregional scale and whether and how those place connections relate to residents undertaking action on issues about which they report being concerned. The research was conducted in three ecoregions of high priority for conservation: the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador), the Klamath-Siskiyou (nort...

Composition (i.e. merging distinct parts to form a new whole) of user interfaces from different providers or devices is popular in many areas. Current trends in the automotive area show, that there is a high interest in compositing interfaces from mobile devices into automotive user interfaces. “Apple CarPlay” and “Android Auto” are concrete examples of such compositions. However composition is...
