This study has been inspired by the paper "An efficient 3D topology optimization code written in MATLAB” written by Liu and Tovar (2014) demonstrating that SIMP-based three-dimensional (3D) topology optimization of continuum structures can be implemented in 169 lines of MATLAB code. Based on the above paper, we show here that, by simple and easy-to-understand modificati...

The structure of the image synthesis process naturally leads to the use of object-oriented software design and many existing rendering systems are based on some kind of object-oriented approach. However, some areas in image synthesis, such as global illumination, were considered to violate some fundamental principles of object-orientation. In this paper, we suggest a design approach which overc...

The utilization of the object-oriented approach to design and develop systems/applications has continued to increase throughout the 1990s. Security concerned users and organizations must now protect and control access to object-oriented systems and applications. This paper frames a paradigm for security in object-oriented systems and applications by addressing the following: Shouldn't security ...

A scheme of classification is suggested for physicians faced with clinicians' numerous and varied prescriptions for remedial management of children with learning disabilities. Three explanatory models of the causes of learning disability -- the difference, deficit and delay models -- and two strategies of management -- the process-oriented and goal-oriented -- are delineated. Remedial methods a...

Process and object-orientation are basic concepts of modeling, implementing and customizing information systems. In this paper we present two approaches of combining those concepts into a coherent way. In the first approach we discuss how to transform business process models (Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) diagrams) into object-oriented models (Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams). The m...

This study looked into the way in which Singapore implemented the use of information technology in its schools. It adopted a process framework in using the diffusion approach to study the issue. Instead of focusing primarily on the outcome of adoption it also looked at context and actors’ dimensions. The study found that the communication process was persuasion-oriented instead of interaction-o...

The integration of aspect oriented modeling approaches with model-driven engineering process achieved through their direct transformation to aspect-oriented code is expected to enhance the software development from many perspectives. This study aims to assess the existing UML-based aspect-oriented modeling techniques from the perspective of their suitability with regards to integration into mod...

BACKGROUND Many hospitals have taken actions to make care delivery for specific patient groups more process-oriented, but struggle with the question how to deal with process orientation at hospital level. The aim of this study is to report and discuss the experiences of hospitals with implementing process-oriented organisation designs in order to derive lessons for future transitions and resear...

service oriented enterprises (soes) are subject to constant change and variation. in this paper, the changes are considered from an economic perspective based on service culture notion. once a change is implemented, the costs of some member services may increase, whereas the costs of some other services may reduce. we construct a game theoretic model trying to capture the possible conflicting i...
