The development of new applications based on the existing design and code increases software quality. This work shows how design reuse increases software quality. It is important in the development of new software version from the existing applications. It enables the reuse of significant portion of the existing design. Software Reuse is one of the most beneficial aspects of Change Management. ...

BACKGROUND By gating image acquisition in myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) to ECG, left ventricular (LV) volumes and function can be determined. Several previous studies have shown that existing MPS software packages underestimate LV volumes compared to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). The aim of this study was therefore to develop a new LV segmentation algorithm for gated MPS using CMR as ref...

R&D efficiency has a profound impact on the competitiveness of software companies, which is the typical knowledge-intensive business service. The software companies is divided into system software companies, application software companies and service software companies according to the types of product or service of software companies. Using software companies in top 1000 R&D investment as the ...

Interactive software is very helpful for exploratory analysis of data, but most packages are optimized only for a specific field of work. Interaction between the various projects is limited. On the other hand very flexible statistical software, such as R, S or S-plus exist covering the needs of almost all fields, but without support for interactive graphics. This paper describes our experience ...

Gene regulatory network inference (GRNI) algorithms are essential for efficiently utilizing large-scale microarray datasets to elucidate biochemical interactions among molecules in a cell. Recently, the combination of network-based error measures complemented with an ensemble approach became popular for assessing the inference performance of the GRNI algorithms. For this reason, we developed a ...

UNLABELLED The package adegenet for the R software is dedicated to the multivariate analysis of genetic markers. It extends the ade4 package of multivariate methods by implementing formal classes and functions to manipulate and analyse genetic markers. Data can be imported from common population genetics software and exported to other software and R packages. adegenet also implements standard p...

This chapter commences with a brief description of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), follows by a description of SAP, the largest enterprise software provider in the world. The timeline of activities since its inception in 1972 are summarized in a table. SAP’s flagship software program, the R/3 system, is portrayed in more detail. The capabilities of the R/3 system, the three-tier client/serv...

This paper describes the application of an automated verification tool to a software model developed at Ford. Ford already has in place an advanced model-based software development framework that employs the Matlab R ©, Simulink R ©, and Stateflow R © modeling tools. During this project we applied the invariant checker Salsa to a Simulink R ©/ Stateflow R © model of automotive software to check...
