XNBC is intended to simulate biological neural networks. XNBC V9 is an important evolution of the previous versions of the XNBC package, a full featured application for computer naive neuroscientists. XNBC is controlled via a user-friendly interface based on XWindow, Motif (Lesstif) and GTK and produces native colour PostScript high quality graphic outputs. XNBC is a public domain software pack...

The paper presents a graphical extension to the IEC 61131-3 CPDev programming environment. The extension called CPVis provides development tools and runtime components to create an operator interface for control software. CPVis editor is used to design display pages. Graphic objects are selected from libraries and represent visual controls on the display. The target operator panel runs CPVis gr...

Malfunctions of systems in domains such as medicine, avionics, traffic control, defense and nuclear applications can cause human injuries. Test and validation of such systems is a difficult task, because many situations cannot be safely reproduced. Simulation makes possible to assess the correctness of a safety-critical system, even in dangerous situations. This paper presents CLAIRE, a purely ...

A computer graphic program for organizing and displaying the colors in a paint collection is presented. A virtual representation for the traditional color card fan deck is described. This interactive program provides a lightness, chroma and hue interface for selecting a color from the collection. Software for visualizing a paint color on a three dimensional surface is also discussed. This tool ...

In this paper, visual techniques used to present economic input-output data are described. These techniques were created because the size of the data matrices and the screen limitations complicate data navigation. These techniques allow users to ask questions about detailed and global information. The techniques were designed based on the user tasks. The graphic techniques are combined with dir...

Discussions of the role of mathematics in software engineering are common and have probably not changed much over the last few decades. There is now much discussion about the “intuitive” nature of software construction and analogies are drawn (falsely) with graphic design, (conventional) architecture, etc. The conclusion is that mathematics is an unnecessary luxury and that, like these other di...

nowadays, new technologies have changed the methods of serving customers in many service organizations. service in the banking industry has been influenced by international communication technology (ict) developments in essential ways. nowadays the importance of websites and their unique features in provision of services to customers is increasing. however, traditional methods of banking with d...

Before Feature Reduction System (FRS) was developed, software engineers were required to use multiple independent web-based information-reporting systems when conducting multiple web transactions. Software engineers, interacting with many webbased systems during normal software project activities, are often required to manually enter similar, or even the same, information multiple times using g...

We introduce a parallel implementation of the Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) superpixel segmentation. Our implementation uses GPU and the NVIDIA CUDA framework. Using a single graphic card, our implementation achieves speedups of 10x∼20x from the sequential implementation. This allow us to use the superpixel segmentation method in real-time performance. Our implementation is compatib...
