Mobile Agent is an autonomously transportable code migrating itself from one node to another in a heterogeneous network without losing its operability. They have become commercially practicable with recent technologies and have the potential for revolutionizing distributed and network applications more recently in wireless sensor networks and bioinformatics. The main aim of this study is to mot...

This paper describes current work on the application of visual techniques to the design and construction ofparallel ana’distn’butedprograms. In particular, we look at how the sofhvare architectural view can be effectively utilised to provide a common framework for integrating the various sofhoare development activities, ranging from early, informal program design to the evolution of the running...

This paper reports on an automatic software design system used for a switching control system. The design knowledge is gained from diagrams produced by a CASE tool during the initial human design, is stored in each corresponding expert system unit, and is reused for reproducing the design. The design procedure consists of splitting a call process, inserting tasks and detailing. Various consider...

Program comprehension can make a unique contribution to the field of software engineering because it is feasible to validate its claims with inexpensive experiments. To fully realize this unique position, program comprehension researchers need to develop standards that will guide them in designing experiments and allow them to judge the strength of an experiment in supporting a claim. To begin ...

14 shift in organizational thinking to automate the development of software that is presently coded by hand. However, only until software development is automated will major benefits in productivity, quality, reliability , and performance be possible. Designing components and building generators is difficult. We have made significant progress in understanding how components can be designed and ...

conclusions the designed software was able to detect a significant number of dentin caries and acceptable measuring of the depth of carious lesions in enamel and dentin. however, the software had limited ability in detecting enamel lesions. background radiographs, adjunct to clinical examination are always valuable complementary methods for dental caries detection. recently, progressing in digi...
