In the last years we applied the Method Engineering paradigm to the development of agent-oriented design processes. The main difficulty in our initial experiments was ensuring the support of a customised CASE tool to the new methodology. In this paper we now present a Computer-Aided Process Engineering (CAPE) tool that we developed in order to allow the design of the new process and then its in...

Dynamic segmentation is a method that facilitates the small areas along a line feature to be referenced without actually breaking the line into pieces. However, the current dynamic segmentation methods are almost developed from 2D roadway centerline network models, and therefore they are unable to support 3D lane-oriented inventory management (e.g. pavement condition, traffic volumes, traffic a...

あらまし 正常に機能することが事前にわかっているリビジョンと,欠陥が含まれるリビジョンとの差分に着 目して自動的にテストを行うことで,欠陥の原因を特定する研究が行われている.しかし,テストの度にソース プログラムからソフトウェアを作成する必要があるため,非常に多くのテスト時間が必要となっていた.また, テスト作業にのみ重点が置かれており,デバグ作業まで考慮されておらず,実用的とはいえなかった. そこで本研究では,従来よりもテスト実行時間を減らし,テストからデバグまでの一連の流れを支援することで 実際のソフトウェア保守に利用可能なデバグ手法 DMETの提案を行う.また,本手法の有効性を確認するため, DMETを用いた開発支援環境 DSUSの実装を行い,比較実験を行った.その結果,DMETを用いることにより, デバグ時間全体を短縮できることがわかった. キーワード リビジョン管理,差分,デバグ

The development of software engineering has had a great deal of benefits for the development of software. Along with it came a whole new paradigm of the way software is designed and implemented object orientation. Today it is a standard to have UML diagrams automatically translated into program code wherever possible. However, as few tools really go beyond this we demonstrate a simple functiona...

In the world of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) indexes are used to accelerate specific queries. The selection of indexes is an important task in database-tuning which is performed by a database administrator or an index selection tool which suggests a set of suitable indexes. In this paper we transfer the concept of specific indexes to XML Database Management Systems (XDBMS) and...

It has been clarified that deformation and annealing of martensite starting structure can produce ultrafine-grained structure in low carbon steel.  This study aims to investigate the texture evolution and mechanical properties of samples with martensite structure deformed by two different forging processes. The martensitic steel samples were forged by plane strain compression and multi-directio...

This paper proposes a novel method to determine a priority for applying selective triple modular redundancy (selective TMR) against single event upset (SEU) to achieve cost-effective reliable implementation of application circuits onto coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs). The priority is determined by an estimation of the vulnerability of each node in the data flow graph (DFG) o...
