Researchers who create software production environments face considerable problems Soft ware production environments are large systems that are costly to develop Furthermore soft ware production environments which support particular software engineering methods may not be applicable to a large number of software production projects These conditions have formed a trend towards research into ways...

Increase in the scientific disciplines has caused large data collections as important community resources. The volume of interesting data is already measured in terabytes and will soon total in peta-bytes. This research proposal presents the issue of processing massive amount of satellite data. A single LEO satellite sends around 2 GB of data in 24 hours of a day. To process this huge amount of...

Most existing software is one-of-a-kind, monolithic, non-interoperable, and consequently, non-reusable. In addition, this software is dificult to maintain, improve, and scale. More importantly, this soj?ware is vital to many enterprises and institutions. Thus, enterprises must continuously make trade-off decisions between developing new software and maintaining existing sojlware. The meta-compo...

The primary scientific objective of this research is to develop GPS sounding techniques for ground based atmospheric profiling. Atmospheric profiling with GPS from space has been demonstrated (i.e. Ware et al. 1996, Rocken et al., 1997). Ground based GPS receivers have been used to determine integrated atmospheric water vapor above a site (i.e. Rocken et al., 1993), and along the ray paths to G...
