This paper presents a Model-Driven framework to support componentbased development. The framework addresses the following important issues: (1) how to reduce the cost of making component reusable, (2) how to efficiently ensure compatibility among components in a composition, (3) how to relate service composition to system composition. The framework supports three kinds of reusable building bloc...

One of the many difficulties in making Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) a reality is the adaptation of software components that may be required when constructing applications from COTS components. We surveyed the literature to discover various approaches to component adaptation and evaluated these approaches against a set of requirements for component adaptation mechanisms. We also d...

Formal ontologies have been successfully used in various places in the domain of user interface development, e.g. in the integration of heterogeneous user interface components. Besides providing a sound basis for comparing interface components from distinct developers, a central advantage is that ontologically enhanced user interfaces allow controlling interactions between user interface compon...

sustainable coastal fishing management includes different components and factors. one of the practical initiatives to achieve sustainability is to evaluate or measure different criteria of sustainability and measuring sustainability of each system needs its own indicators. this study aimed to investigate different criteria of sustainable coastal fishing management in beach seine cooperatives (b...

Software component reuse is the software engineering practice of developing new software products from existing components. A reuse library or component reuse repository organizes stores and manages reusable components. This paper describes how a reusable component is created, how it reuses the function and checking if optimized code is being used in building programs and applications. Finally ...

One of the many difficulties in making Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) a reality is that software components may require adaptation when constructing applications from COTS components. We survey the literature to discover various approaches to component adaptation and evaluated these approaches against a set of requirements for component adaptation mechanisms.

We propose a new approach for teaching a humanoid-robot a task online without pre-set data provided in advance. In our approach, human acts as a collaborator and also as a teacher. The proposed approach enables the humanoid-robot to learn a task through multi-component interactive architecture. The components are designed with the respect to human methodology for learning a task through empiric...

A scientifically approved psychological finding of gift is usually not available to all schools. In order to obtain an accurate and early detection of mathematically gifted children, an intelligent expert system MathGift is proposed to assist teachers in making decision about a child's gift in mathematics in the fourth grade of elementary school. Besides mathematical competencies, the system in...

Hardware Engineers have shown that building systems from components has brought enormous benefits. Using components permits hardware engineers to consider systems at an abstract level, making it possible for them to build and reason about systems that would otherwise be too large and complex to understand. It also enables them to make effective reuse of existing designs. It seems reasonable to ...

Discrimination accuracy decreases when viewers simultaneously monitor two perceptually distinct stimulus components for changes in a common property, e.g. contrast [Magnussen & Greenlee (1997). Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 23, 1603-1616; Olzak & Wickens (1997). Perception, 26, 1101-1120]. We ask whether the limitation is in monitoring two components or i...
